200 a year. First year he meant is first year of having carrd. If sign up in December hit can get the bonus twice and still cancel before the fee sticks.

I dont understand. I got the card about 3 months ago. Can I get a $400 refund before the end of December? And then get a $200 refund for January-December? Or is it a combo of $400 because of the $200 per calendar year? (Regardless of when I applied.)

That.

[thaber]

perhaps not. I was being lazy and didn't research, but a quick scan showed nothing. I had done UA gift cards in the past, but had a greater need for AA now.
Can anyone confirm /deny?

Anyone know for sure?
Also - any chance of doing a return to AA?

(In the wiki, the CHFFGM: I was thining you should see if it works for AA.  BUT WAIT!  I think AA doesn't have a 24 hr cancellation policy.  So it won't work!)

Not sure if it's targeted or not, but I was offered 10k MR for adding up to 5 AU's (10k per AU) at the Platinum level ($300 AF). Rep said it should post within 6-8 weeks

10k already posted

Does the platinum card come with free trip cancellation, trip delay and baggage delay insurance protection like the Sapphire?  What coverages?

If you become a millionaire, it won't be because people on the forum will help you.
Your total lack of respect for people willing to help you is appalling.

Is there a reason to keep the Biz Plat open? Obviously, if you close it, you'll lose some of the benefits (but perhaps you can make up for that by having a personal Plat) but I'm just thinking the sooner you close it, the sooner you're eligible to reopen it.
