When downgrading plat to green, should I wait for the statement to close, in order to get the MR points from the last month, or will it post anyway?

When i try adding online the only option is for paid.
How do  I choose to add him as a green card?
I'm not sure you're able to add a green card to a personal platinum. I think this only works for business plat.

I think your right. Is there any other way around the AF for an  AU?

if your not waiting for a category bonus or welcome bonus, you'll get the points regardless. Also, you will most probably get a 5,000 bonus if it's a new platinum account. (most of my new platinum accounts were getting 5,000 bonus points after platinum downgraded to green)

Didn't they used to have a 25k down to Gold? And then 5k down to green?

Amex chat just told me that although canceling within 60 days refunds AF, downgrading does not refund it completely, rather on a pro rata basis.

Correct.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

If I downgrade a plat to green after 6 months, will the AF be prorated?
