Can someone PM me or direct me regarding whether PGGM still works or whether I am able to buy a GC from the airline (which I could later use to buy tickets)?  I have read and can't get a clear answer on what seems to still work.

TIA

You downgraded to the wrong green card.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Can you please explain how to tell a difference between the two, because I've never seen one that doesn't earn MR.

The one with the $65 annual fee does not earn MR, the $95 fee card does

This happened to @JTZ recently, and they only let him use points for GC, IIRC. A proficient searcher can probably find the discussion in a second.

I by mistake canceled on day 61 since annual fee was charged, which caused charge to be prorated to -$375, instead of full -$450 that i would have gotten had i canceled day 60. I tried chatting multiple times and even had them transfer me to supervisor, but they all refuse to hear it was a mistake. Any ideas? Is there any other way to go about it?
