Cool! I wonder if you have to use your card to pay for the res or if you get the benefits just from having Plat. Would make some nice upgrades for those that got in on the Omni $50 deal.

Not sure if it's targeted or not, but I was offered 10k MR for adding up to 5 AU's (10k per AU) at the Platinum level ($300 AF). Rep said it should post within 6-8 weeks

Assume you cancel each AU after points post, hopefully before the 60-day period, and get AF refund?

Either way it's prorated.

[Good Times]

I want to close my platinum, but I don't have any other MR account.
Do I need to open a new cc to keep the points?
Or is there any other way?
