@DoGo

Don't worry about the fee because you can simply cancel the card. Business cards generally don't go on your personal CR and, therefore, it will not hurt your credit score.

I am waiting for my 5K to post and will then cancel.
FTFY. FYI, personal cards with open limits still affect your CS.

What do you mean by open limits?

If a person for example has a business card with a 5K Credit limit and his bills are paid off etc...., will his credit score be neg affected?

I read on these forums once before that cancelling a business card will not affect your credit score because there is no credit line. I cannot locate it now, but was that incorrect? Moreover, a proof to this is that adding an A/U on a business account doesn't help the AU's credit score...

What am I missing?

Thanks

Business cards, with the exception of very few, never go on your CR to begin with so canceling them wouldn't hurt your score. That's why it does nothing to add an AU to a business account.
Open limits = charge cards.

Would someone mind explaining the lounge access with an amex platinum card that has been downgraded, when they scan the card at the lounge will it allow access for the 4 years as was orig posted?

Just got targeted 75k/$5k, no where on app does it mention 12 month rule,  does that mean I'm safe?

My guess is you might still have issues. Whether you'll get the points after fighting for them (if they don't automatically post) is impossible to know.

You need to not have the product for 12 months in order to get the bonus again.

As long as you haven't had this card in the past 12 months yes.

But no mention of 12 mo rule across all 3 pages of application
