They're all wrong. It's against the card act to raise the AF on a personal card in the first year, so downgrading the PRG (which would result in a $95 AF) is impossible. The reps don't know why the system doesn't allow it, so they're making things up.
thanks, I wondered why it's different with the brg

If I have pending welcome bonus points on the platinum and I downgrade before they post, will I still get them?

tried and I would need to know by 12 am (60 days since AF billed) so not much time for too many hucas. Would they do it over the phone or only thru chat.

If an offer expires on the 15th, and I apply on the 13th, and get approved on the 17th, will the offer work?

After the 1st statement closed, I asked again to downgrade, and he says he did it. He sounded like he knew what he was doing. Do you think he's mistaken and it did not go through (or it will get reversed)? Thanks.

update: so I called to downgrade as I did not have time to huca because it was close to 12 am when I would no longer be eligible for a full refund of the AF. And then after going through the process in the end I asked the rep to expedite my points and he gave the whole speech about he can't expedite the promotion points etc. so I said only the spend points which he did. And all of the 100k points posted.

You don't get a full AF refund when downgrading.
