If I downgrade additional users plat. to green card, after the GE charge posts, I'll still get the $100 credit, correct ?
Also spending on au's green card works for sign up bonus ?

Yes to the first. No experience with the second one but I would very much think so.

Just as a BTW; not sure if anyone has commented or noticed this. Every new biz platinum account (not sure if only biz, maybe also personal) that's downgraded to green, gets a 5k MR bonus, no matter if you had a bonus with the platinum card you signed up for. I had several accounts like this. Logged into my newly downgraded account today and saw this 5k mr gift posted  :)

Just got this on a Biz Plat app and on the phone they're telling me they didn't even pull my CR.  Any way past this?

Call

It's been sent off for review. 4 calls now, and they keep referencing my prior calls. It was cancelled off the bat as a duplicate.

Will this be a second pull in a few days?  Not worrying about the bonus for now.

Why cancel ? Just call Experian to have the second pull removed.

Was this targeted or just call and ask?  I found an offer code that's supposed to be good thru November 2016.
