regarding the business platinum, is the retention offer always offered or it has to be in the system for them to be able to offer it.

Targeted. They may not tell you if it's in the system, but if it isn't, theres nothing you can do.

Memories last forever, make them while you can.

In order to activate Amex Travel insurance, does the entire purchase need to be made on the platinum card? I.e. Flights, hotels etc.?

Can the Biz Plat be downgraded to a no AF card?
$595 AF just posted...
What's the best practice
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

really?
I have never heard of them clawing back if canceling AFTER one full year after the AF posts.
Has anyone been clawed back doing this?

Either way, I'd prefer downgrading over cancelling if there's a NO AF option or a downgrade option worth paying for.
