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.
Officially it does not have a limit, but I've heard that if your spend too much they may call it. Though they are really good to Platinum cardholders

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?

It starts from the day you speed having the card so gold starts when you upgraded and platinum when you downgraded.  You can call to ask.

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.

Apply for our cost a credit card to a fee free mr card like the everyday card or blue (not blue cash). Mind you I alone have answered this question many times across many threads.
The green had an af.did your get it waived?
You can also call retention air waiving the fee.

How risky is it to close the Plat within 60 days to get the AF refunded but while the bonus points are still pending?

After you pay the bill, have them push the points through for you, and you'll have no issues.

Not sure if anyone else has this issue: I did my annual 3bm with amex and for the 2nd time they would auto deny the 2nd & 3rd app requiring additional pulls after card 1 got approved. Additionally, the only ppl to talk to are the new accounts team in India which bearley speak or understand English & r incompetent & unhelpful. Last time as well as this round. They would change the story of wether the card was being approved & as well the reasons why. They also gave a list of reasons for declining Spg app even though gold got approved. They gave reasons like not long enough history with amex- even though been member since 2007..
