just use them over the phone, then they never run out!
So, does one still need to use the targeted code for 100K/$10K or can I just have the rep match over the phone when applying by phone?

Figured.  I'll try 100K/$3K first and see what they say, and then, I'll try the 100K/$10K.  Thanks.

Is prg and platinum card considered two different products?

Nope :(98762 date=1408569983
Is that the same in regards to brg and platinum?
Yep. All their charge cards are one family :)

If I take advantage of an offer to upgrade my amex rewards gold card to platinum for 30k points, does anyone know if I will still be allowed to apply for another platinum later down the road and get the signup bonus? Or will my upgrade count as my signup bonus for that product?

I wanted to know if i dont have the gold or green card and i met the spend threshold and now wanted to cancel and i already paid the af how would i get the Af back if i cancel within 60 days?
What about the $200 airline credit, how would i get refunded for that if my card is cancelled and I cant use it anymore?

I had the business gold upgraded to platinum and then downgraded to green. I sold my points and never closed the account. I now have 12k points on it. What do I do with this card. I dont want to loose the points but I dont want to hang onto the card and start to pay the annual fee.

Another Question, does the 12 months start from when I switched my gold to platinum and from when I switched platinum into green respectively?  Also, can I call them to ask them when those switches occured?

Just got this card, does it automatically come with no predetermined cl? Because at the same time as getting 2 k for delta I get unlimited on platinum.

Yes, it's a charge card so there's no set limit.
