Yeah, I just opened a new delta account, my old one didn;t have much in it and I had no status, so I think I'll just use my new one and see what happens, not sure if I'll merge them. I'm thinking of opening an amex platinum and then canceling to get the points. do you know if I have a gold account and cancel my platinum, do my platinum points go to my gold account or do i need to tranfer them out of amex before i cancel?
