Yes with biz plat on 1/1. But recently with Delta Platinum (any delta purchase to trigger the $100 credit), the upgrade didn't post to my account - the charge just fell off. Been doing pggm for years and that never happened to me. Thought it was a fluke but same thing happened to yuguy. Tried again a couple days ago, still pending, will report back.
just wait till the charges post, then cancel...!?

On the Business Platinum, my airline of choice is Delta. Do you get a 50% point refund on Basic Economy tickets or only on Economy tickets? Anyone know?

If your airline is Spirit how can you not be telling the truth?

If you call, they'll usually do it during the call, if you do it online, it'll take 24-48 hours iirc.

Cool thanks.. that's what I was looking for. So if I already did it online can I call and have them do it manually?

I received a retention bonus a month or 2 ago for keeping my plat card open and now when I chat to downgrade  they said when they try it says I need to call the retention department. Is this something new? possibly you can't downgrade after getting a retention bonus
Update:
Called to downgrade she saw that i recently got a retention offer to keep the card and advised she would reverse the retention offer if i were to downgrade.
Is this new?
