When downgrading/shutting down Amex Biz cards via phone, Any way to bypass Amex rep's review of account and nagging questions ? Is there still a way to shut down cards via chat or some other way...

How do I get to the automated system?? When I say I would like to close card, they automatically transfer me to customer service rep. Am i supposed to answer that the business is no longer active?
And is it possible to downgrade card via automated system or only shut down card?

Yup, i think that's the only way not to be routed to a rep.

I said that business no longer active, there were no further options to choose. The automated system just read me a couple of disclaimers and I answered accordingly. It was a BGR card. I'm guessing to downgrade a Biz Plat to Green you would need to speak to a rep?

I downgraded my platinum to the green card earlier this year and then upgraded again with an upgrade offer. I assumed that I would get another $200 airline credit for this year but it's showing that the credit was already used. Is that how it's supposed to work?

I haven’t been able to get the 75k/5k to populate in referrals either, even with incognito, etc.

My brother has a preapproved offer for 50k/$2000 on the Amex Gold, can I still refer him and he gets the same preapproved offer? If yes, what is the correct procedure? TIA

1)If he is pre approved means that he will be approved 99% with any link including a referral.

2)Its very difficult to show a 50k link via referral. YMMV
If he had the gold in the past then he wont receive the bonus unless he has a (pre approved) offer with no lifetime language. Which you cant refer.
