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.

is the "new link" in the wiki not working?  It takes me to a general page for the plat biz card with no mention of any upgrade or anything.  Sorry, I have not done this in a year or two......is this whole process dead unless you call or get the offer on your login?

Any offers now?
If I upgrade my Gold to Platinum now, how long do I have to wait to reapply for gold?

I got an offer this month to upgrade my premier rewards gold card to a platinum card and get 50,000 MR points after spending 5k. The offer makes no mention regarding a requirement of not having that card before. I already the platinum card in 2013. Anyone have any experience with this? Also would I still be eligible for the $200 credits in 2015 ? Thanks!

You should be able to get it all. Have you ever had the Platinum card before?

Yes I had a personal platinum in 2013. I was confused when they sent me the offer.

Go for it, get 50k and $400 in the next 60 days, and cancel.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
