Oh well!
What if I cancel it?
You don't have it :) .
You can upgrade to the Platinum in December, get $400 PGGM and cancel before 60 days to get back your AF.
I try my best :-\

If you currently have the PRG you are definitely not eligible for the platinum bonus.

I received a targeted invite in April for the Platinum for 40k.  I was approved on June 11.  I got the 40k shortly afterwards.  I got Gold and Platinum  bonuses in 2012.

It should. If you won't get the credit automatically you can call.

Finally someone who's using it for what it's intended to be used for :)

You have to pre select the airline.  Is El Al an option? Did you select it?

The new rule started May 1st.

Meaning that I could have gotten all the bonus in the world until May 1st and still gotten one more bonus after may 1st?

Nope Elal is not an option, I didn't realize he asked about Elal, thought his question was about baggage fees.

Nope, you could've gotten all the bonuses in the world before May 1st and get a few more before May 1st :(

So I got approved on June 11th and received the bonus.  Why is that not an indication that targeted bonuses are still achievable to those who have gotten the bonus before? Because the offer was issued in April?
