How does this card work in regards to the free checked bag; is it like the Citi AA and as long as your FFN is tied to the reservation you get the benefit, or is it like the UMPE and you need to have bought the ticket (or at least taxes and fees) with the card to get the free checked bag?

Just had a painless downgrade to Arrival- on the first call.  Rep said ok, let me look in to it.......I'll need to transfer you to a specialist. Specialist said sure, I just need to read you this disclosure.

Only a 1k bonus on first spend. Previously, on a downgrade, I got 10k after 1k spend.

Why dont you try through Finnair site and report back.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Downgraded my USAir card to arrival 2 weeks ago,

how soon is it safe to apply for it again, and what are the chances of instant approval?

This very much varies depending on what your CR looks like along with many other factors.

They definitely do auto approval, but as one progresses into the CC "Game", it gets fewer and far between for instant approvals.

I know that in general, i am asking if anyone know specific to barcly's how long of a wait is needed to enhance chance of auto approval. and if downgrading to another card vs. cancelling the card help for this

Downgraded to an arrival and applied the next day and got approved. What that means I dont know. I had the card 1+ years already. Not sure what exactly feeds into the decision of auto approving it.
