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.

And earns MR ? Got an email for my SPG Biz with free code . Hope to use for my upgraded Gold to Plat spend !

It definitely earned MR a year ago, but it might have changed since.

i tried 6/7 times and didnt work! so i'l make the extra $ somewhere else... ;)

I called in and was told it wasn't available but they put a note on my account and it'd be added "shortly".  Anyone else getting this and what is "shortly"?  do they call you? will it show up on offers?  or do I have to call in again repeatedly lol

If I already upgraded a few days ago, can I still call in to get the 25k, or if its on my account then I'll automatically get it ?
Life is as good as you make it...

I dont know definitively either way, but when the rep read her t&cs of the upgrade that she's required to read, it included details of the promo, so I'm assuming that if you didnt hear that, your offer didn't include the promo. They would probably add it to your account if you call in, assuming it's an option on your account/you get a good rep.

Is there a direct link to upgrade online? Not looking for the bonus just to upgrade.

Why aren't you looking to get the bonus, if you're upgrading anyways?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

So you're gonna let 25k go to waste?
