Oh okay. I thought you were trying to downgrade the new one already :)

Yes. Exact day of first app was Oct. 24, 2014. Date of 2nd app was March 3, 2015--so about 4 months and 1 week?

1) Either wait till it's no longer in the system as a US airways card (can take from couple days to a week)
2) No pull
3) No, unless you have accepted a retention bonus of some sort (high end hobo reports).
4) Definitely. The thread is full of stories like this.

So if I have a recently closed US Airways card, still worth applying rather than reopening, downgrading and then applying?
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

Sorry, I think I misread your question.
You'll have a higher chance of success if you reopen and downgrade first.

Also, downgrading within 60 days doesn't automatically refund annual fee? Was wondering why some people had annual fees waived first, then downgrade.

If seeking for waiving annual fee, does it help to not have the fee paid? Or does it not matter?

I just got the card last month, miles haven't posted in US Air account yet. Looking for a quick turnaround time to hopefully get another app in before card disappears.

Thanks!

Did you pay the annual fee yet?
