Think in the past I have seen posted that au on plat card gets the 200$ airline credit & global entry fee refunded- is that true ?
Only GE credit. Although the charge that gets the $200 refund can be on the AU card.

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?

Is this a personal or business card? Because the bonus allowance varies.

Business: once every 12 months. Personal: once in a lifetime.

Personal, I know it's once in a lifetime, my question is getting an upgrade bonus is the same as getting a signup bonus?

If you upgrade your personal gold to a platinum, does that count as the once in a lifetime bonus for a personal platinum?

If I apply and am approved for the plat biz today, do I still have time to get the $200 airline credit this year for a total $600 by 2016? I know it's last minute, but my time has been limited lately.

If you charge your card by 12/31. You likely will get your card by Wednesday if you get approved by tomorrow AM.

Yah I know it's two day shipping so I should try, but do you recommend doing tonight already, or is the biz department closed?

If you upgrade your personal gold to a platinum, does that count as the once in a lifetime bonus for a personal platinum?
Quote
This offer is also not available to applicants who have or have had a Platinum Card® account enrolled in the Membership Rewards® program.

I would say that you are not eligible.
1. if apply first time for plat and upgrade next day the gold to plat will it harm the bonus ?

2. if had plat over 2 years ago will I get the bonus if re-apply now?


1. I don't think it would ( I assume you were approved). Since when you were approved for the card and bonus you never had the card
2. Personal, no; business, yes.

Same same. You'll get quicker answers if you just look at the offer terms for whatever card you are looking for.

All they have currently (and I've spoken to a few CSRs) is 40K for $5k spend.  Worth it?  I would get the $600 credit too, but I wonder if I should just wait.  Thoughts?

Lots of 100k offers floating around in the "Platinum 100k" thread,
Or--
For heavens sake just pick up the phone with the number unthread and ask for the 100k offer

You might be late now, I might not get the card on the 31st.

I would wait for a better offer you can still get $400 in credit.
