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.

I just received a call to upgrade my BRG to the Platinum and get 50k MR after spending 10k in Five months (No Credit Check). I will get a 200.00 airline credit. I will be charged 450.00 prorated (which  is only three months to my anniversary date, so ~113.00).

I went for it  :)!

I recently was emailed an offer on my bgr for spend 5k get 10k bonus points. It was buried in promotions, I'm lucky I even noticed it. Maybe you had the same on your card without knowing it

I had an offer on Personal Gold to upgrade to Platinum and get 25k MR after one purchase. Question is 1)Can I get airline fee credit if I had already used it on gold? 2)Does it matter if I already have a Personal platinum? Thanks and sorry if this was asked before.
