No need to transfer, they won't take it away if you downgrade to BGR.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Hi, I got the benefits from the amex platinum card & would like to downgrade it back to the gold card. Should I transfer out the points first? Will they take it away?
Thanks for your help
If your trying to avoid a fee the BGR also costs after a year. You can probably downgrade lower/cheaper but that may affect your points.

BGR = $175 a year. Platinum = $450 - $200

personally for $75 I'd rather have the platinum and lounge access + loss protection

I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

I got the priority pass card in the mail, do you need the amex platinum handy or the priority pass card is enough for entry into the lounges?

Depends which lounge. If it's a Delta, US Airways or American Lounge and you're flying that airline (except US AIR), use the platinum.

If it's a priority pass lounge then you might need the priority pass card with you.

What are odds to access the lounges if platinum is downgraded back BGR?

There are those who have used the platinum card for access until its stamped expiration date. YMMV.

If it is a priority pass lounge the PP card will be enough. At the others you'll want the platinum card.

But if your Platinum card is cancelled, your Priority Pass card will not work where they swipe it, vs the Platinum card which still grants AA, DL and US lounge entry even after its cancelled.

I sent this to amex, what does his response mean? Is he hinting that im gonna get the 50k??

Hello,
 I have recently moved much of my business to American Express, I have been disappointed with my personal Gold card, I have been denied the 50,000 point sign up bonus due to some fine print that I must have missed while signing up.
I would like to confirm at this time that I will receive 75,000 bonus points on my Business Gold card after meeting a spending requirement of $5000 within 3 months. I am very concerned that American express will not honor this promotion also.
Thank You.

Dear

I understand your concern with regards to the promotional offer linked to your Business Gold Rewards Card (ending in ).

Please do not worry; you are in fact eligible for the offer.

As per the offer, you can receive 75,000 Membership Rewards points after making purchases of $5,000 in the first 3 months (92 days) of Cardmembership.

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that the bonus points will be credited to your Membership Rewards account 6-8 weeks after you have met the purchase requirement.

I hope that I was able to address your concern successfully and to your complete satisfaction.

I also noticed that you have been a valued Cardmember since 2007. We appreciate your loyalty and it has been a privilege to serve you since then.

Sincerely,

He is only confirming you have the 75k BGR promo on your business card. He doesn't mention anything about your denied 50k PGR promo.

They are programmed to compliment you. He was being courteous.
