I used the Ameriprise link to offer match with AMEX....right now, they refunded half of my annual fee....I guess $225 for a 15 min phone call is not so bad...
I have nothing witty to write here....

Tell them you don't want to have to cancel the current one and apply again because it will hurt your credit score...

Those who have gotten targeted email offers to upgrade to platinum, did they include MR bonus? Just got one but there was no mention of any bonuses. Unless it's a secret bonus def not worth it.

True - even targeted upgrade will require hard pull, correct?
