I chatted with Amex and they told me that I need to wait up to six weeks for the Platinum Status to post, and also that the status would not be extended even though I would not be getting the full 12 months.
Is it worth pursuing this?
What they are doing doesn't seem right because the welcome offer states that the Platinum status will be effective by February 1st. There is no fine print stating that that's only if you apply six weeks prior...
The problem is that I am taking a trip next week and need the status now.
Any suggestions?
