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.

Go to the site you went to to register for the platinum airline credit, and it'll show you all the eligible cards.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

None of your benefits require the selection of a qualifying airline.

Chat rep said no offer on my account.  Phone rep saw the 50k/10k offer right away.  I accepted.  He said that the Gold card becomes a Plat once it shows online as a plat.

Now if we  could get Amex to add 5 AUs @ 10k each to the new Plat card, that would be a New Years present.
Anyone game ?

I had a BRG with 5 free AUs and I upgrades to Plat.  It seems the AUs are also Plat.  Am I going to get hit with $175 for the AUs?
