Q: It's been a few days since I applied and the changes haven't taken effect yet , should I worry?
A: No. That's perfectly normal.


Q: I'm in my first year of my gold card, will I be charged the AF when I downgrade back?
A:
Yes you will


The cheshbon is that you upgrade, get the points, buy the AA GC's do the Platinum Guy's Great Mehalech, then downgrade back or close and get the Annual Fee of the Plat reimbursed. If cancelled within 60 days you get it all back; if more than 60 days it is prorated.

Hi all!! :D

Ive had the BRG for a few months, got the 75k points..

Link to upgrade didn't let, called rep, she told me that while their are no offers for me i can still upgrade (Soft Pull) and get the Business Plat card.
I asked if i can get the 100k or 40k offers with spend, she said system is not showing it.

Is it possible that with spend i will get bonus points automatically?

(Either way its the end of the year so i can chap arien two PGGM)

apply for a new plt 100k bonus and make sure the T&C  saying you cannot have this card within the last  12 month though i would apply anyway because there is a good chance of getting the plt bonus even if you have the gold open good luck

Thanks for the tip!
Ihave too many pulls recently, don't want to do a new application.

Anyone else have any ideas for me to maximize this upgrade for me?
TIA

As long as you have an MR earning card, you are fine.

If it's not your first time with the cards, then you probably will not get the bonus points anymore...
