Full refund within 30 days, No refund after 30 days.

Not sure if that applies to downgrading too.

I just want to double check: if I opened a business platinum card on my social (like Dan says) could I open a new one under a different LLC but with the same social?

You can certainly open one. You just won't get the bonus.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

It's questionable whether they would approve it...

Any gift card on MPX app in increments of $100 or less should trigger the credit.

When does the 3 months spend time frame toll from?

The date marked as "approved" on the AMEX app status page, or when you receive the card?

IINM its from when you applied/got approved. If it took a long time to arrive call them to extend it.

Update: It goes by the "date opened."  Which in my case was 3 weeks after the date of application marked on the app status page.

Chat ?

Did, thanks :)

I've seen people say that $200 increments didn't trigger. I've never tried over $139, so I can't answer myself.
