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 called to upgrade and they said that I do not have the offer, and I told them I had the offer on my account in the past but now I don't, so she said they will research it and get back to me. Is this normal?
I have huced twice so far and nothing, and I had it on my amex offers

Is this an original green, or a downgrade from a previous plat?

Hi all!

I had a plat, downgraded to gold for some offer (Cant remember what) called last night, had offer of 10k spend for 50k., Awesome!

Heres my question,
My wife has a gold from the 75k offer and opened a few days ago a bus. plat (150k)... I am thinking of asking to change her gold to plat again... Anyone do that and have two of the same cards/same "Business"?

People here are being denied the upgrade all together or just the bonus aspect?

Ok. So basically anyone can upgrade anytime regardless of how long they had the card for?
