AFAIK the rest of the cards they let, just this one is new, IIRC someone mentioned that eventually they'll let.

They will never let the Plat downgrade to an Everyday. Plat is charge, EDP is credit. Different products. They dont downgrade charge to credit, ever.

1 anomaly does not make a policy. Dan constantly emphasizes that distinction. I'd trust his judgment rather than believing one unverified report.

Is there any free charge card I can downgrade to? Also if I downgrade to a card does that make me ineligible to get a bonus for that card in the future?
