Assuming you don't want to cancel the card? $200 travel statement credit x2

Thanks. Can I do that online or do I have to call?
Downgrade via chat. Don't call.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Main difference is that only the business gets GoGo passes.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

The new post on the main site offers 100k for platinum, once in a lifetime. I got it once before in '09. Will that affect my bonus?

Amex system memory tends not to be over 7 years. When did you cancel it?

Yes. Chat and ask them when the last time you had a plat was.

Will Amex approve you for their card even if they wont give you the bonus? and how can you find out if they will or wont give you the bonus?

If you haven't had this card you should get the bonus.
