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.

Sorry I just noticed this reply. Interestingly, the link I got in my email to apply didn't work so I called the number they provided (866-231-4438) and they gave it to me on the phone. I went for it.
Which department did you get connected to?

I am not sure. I just said "upgrade" when I was prompted by the automated system and was brought to someone who did it.

I just called to upgrade and they said that I do not have the offer, and I told them I had the offer on my account in the past but now I don't, so she said they will research it and get back to me. Is this normal?

$10K is a large spend with no MS ,  especially when want other cards that have $3k-5k etc spends and working on now $15k spends -never want to be pressured that I "must" spend -- only reason I am still THINKING  about it -- it is a 5 month spend and can catch $200 on each side of 2015-16 :-\

rather have been offered up grade 50k for $5k

what is the "regular" upgrade offer on biz platinum ?

That's only 5k, no?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
