Q: It's been a few days since I applied and the changes haven't taken effect yet , should I worry?
A: No. That's perfectly normal.


Q: I'm in my first year of my gold card, will I be charged the AF when I downgrade back?
A:
Yes you will


The cheshbon is that you upgrade, get the points, buy the AA GC's do the Platinum Guy's Great Mehalech, then downgrade back or close and get the Annual Fee of the Plat reimbursed. If cancelled within 60 days you get it all back; if more than 60 days it is prorated.

Not me personally, but someone I know and trust.

He said this, or it actually happened to him/her and he/she didn't receive the bonus?

i upgraded from business gold to platinum, via chat, and was told that i will receive 50k after 5k spend.
afterwards, i chatted a good5 times and no one found the offer on my acct.
finally someone got a supervisor to dig up old chat, and saw promised offer.
sure enough, after spending, no pending pts showed up

Lesson learnt - Don't accept upgrade offers via chat.

Are there any current offers to upgrade from BRG to Biz Plat?
Also, what number would one call to see if eligible for such offer? (is it just the CS number at the back of the BRG card?)

upgrading I don't recall being a problem at all. Downgrading Is usually the issue by me.

With a personal or business card?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

It's illegal to raise the AF in the first year on a personal card. That's why people have such a hard time upgrading to platinum.

I've never upgraded personally. I've seen it be mentioned before with success and additionally a friend telling me he had success quite a number of times. IME downgrades have always been successful via chat. Maybe not first time every time but eventually got it.
