yes to green.
They usually don’t look at the notes, and even if they do and say they’ll clawback it doesn’t mean that they will.
P.S. I’m not taking responsibility! I’m just sharing my experience!
Of course..... you have had this scenario? I should downgrade via chat or call?

Question is, is it worth gambling $1,200 in Benifits or just pay the $550 and live with $650 profit

My Mercedes Ann fee was due. I called to cancel to ovoid the fee. Rep wasn’t buying it and said she will recind the 60,000 and Dec& Jan airline fees. Obviously I said forget it.
She said and don’t call back because I’m noting the account of our conversation.
Am I screwed? Not worth the chance of chatting or calling another rep?
Can they even do that?

Wouldn’t this be a “clawback”

To be clear - did you have this for a yr and the 2nd af was due, or have you had this for just a month or two and this was the first af?

If it's the 2nd af I don't see how they could possibly be justified in clawing back.

I would be nervous about a clawback if you close now.

Latest batch seems to have replaced the 'you can't get the offer of you already got it' with a more general 'we reserve the right to not give the bonus to anyone, including if you already got it'. Is there a possibility that it'll work?

That's a negative change, not a positive one. It means that even if you meet all the qualifications and the bonus never shows up or gets clawed back, you can't file a CFPB complaint.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

i posted the below a few days ago, if anyone has any insight it will much appreciated. if this is the incorrect place please post a link.

thanks!

"amex travel fee credit

can someone please confirm that the delta way of buying a trip to tlv and then adding economy comfort plus will trigger the credit? i used to do this with the nyc-lax route.

tried the nyc-tlv route the two charges came up pending then a few days later both dropped off and NO credit applied.

is this way dead?

does the delta gift card $50 4 seperate transactions still work?
-someone said there not going to allow it anymore

is the united thing with adding a pet the best way these days?
how would i do that?

thanks!"

Can I still get into Centurion lounges with an old, unexpired plat card that has since been downgraded to green?   
What is the difference if the downgraded card is the Primary's or the AUs?
