Downgrading to green will give you another 5k , so why not .

Is there any possibility of a 25k bonus for a new green card, which this will obviate? I made that mistake on personal: I downgraded for 5k, then applied for a new one, spent 1k, and didn't get the 25k bonus.

Can someone explain to me the logic behind giving 5k bonus on downgrading to green?

I assume the logic is that the bonus is for getting the card; the fact that it is a downgrade seems to be irrelevant to them.

I had that, you just have to call/chat with them and they will own an inquirey and you will get the points back.

I downgraded my plat to green. They made no mention (neither did I mention) of a 5000 bonus. Is it a automatic bonus?

Does the downgrade to green bonus of 5k work, if you already did it a different time? Thanks. (In other words: Had plat, change to green. New plat, change to green)
