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.

I have a theory, 6 months of gold and you become eligible. Right after 6 months I saw the link in my account and they started calling me with the OBTM offer.

I assume it's not too late to upgrade now to double-dip airline credit?

I wouldn't think so. As long as spend was done this year.

When I upgraded they told me it would take 24-48 hours to reflect as a plat in the system, it took 24 hours before my card art changed on the site, ymmv. I'm also assuming this a prereq for pggm but could be wrong on that assumption as well.

Interesting, idk if this was mentioned - I got the 30k bonus for spending 10k mid-statement.

I think that as long as you can choose an airline to register it will go, regardless of card art status.

Maybe (can't believe I'm about to say this) but rep also told me to wait for that before spending to be sure it counts to 10k (I know I know) #dropr

When I try to upgrade gold via link... it tells me I need to call etc. (even in incognito, and even when using card digits instead of loggin in).
I hear the six months theory, but what's weird is that if I go into my Amex account, I can actually upgrade it (without the extra points for 10k spending...).

Can anyone help me out? I'd like to upgrade and get the points:)

There are reports of an upgrade offer popping up on some PRG accounts to upgrade to Plat.  50K MR for $5k spend.
