I downgraded my Amex platinum to a green card 2 weeks ago. Now I keep on seeing an option online for an invitation upgrade to Platinum.

Any idea if it will be another hard pull? ( They aren't giving me any points but a PGGM is with it if there's no hard pull)

you cant do another pggm the same year if it's the same account even after down and up.

I had a targetted offer for 150k, 100k after 5k spend and another 50k after another 10k spend. It expired in july 2015 any ways I used another offer of 150k not targetted to me for 10k spend 100k and 25k points each fore another 5k and 5k spend

I am not sure I can complete the 20k spend, any way to get amex to match older offer ?

IME amex doesn't match and at this point with the details you're describing in your case I wouldn't ask them.

Unless I am mistaken JFK to TLV is not automatically refundable if cancelled within 24 hours as are domestic tickets so the PGGM is not as useful.

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