Amex Platinum Dillema
« on: June 10, 2014, 01:28:13 PM »
I have the personal plat and biz plat that I met spend on and got bonus I am still within the 60days to get refunded for af. I have yet to get airline credit for the delta glitch thing (which I just did a few days ago) with economy comfort and havent gotten global entry which I don't really think I will use.
I don't want to pay AF on either card but want to keep my MR points for future travel and maybe it is worth keeping one of them for benefits, I just close my prg card as well because the year was up.
1) what do the pro churners do/suggest I do?
2) should I suck up the af on the biz plat and close personal or downgrade?
3) should close and downgrade both?
4) if downgrade then to which card.

Thank in advance.

My advice: Don't cross post especially by starting a new thread.  Some senior members will put you in a virtual penalty box for being annoying.

I am sorry for doing that, wont do it again but today is when my 60 days are up for AF and no one responded that is why I did that.

Option 1 - transfer points to airline, then cancel
Option 2 - Cancel one, downgrade other to green.  When you do your next AOR, get a blue MR (no annual fee), and a gold/plat (so you can transfer out)

Note that with option 2, your points are stuck until you get a gold/plat again.
