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.

The bonus terms preclude any previous cardholders, whether it was from opening or an upgrade, and whether they received a welcome bonus or not.

This is a little better than usual

But does that mean first time for that particular card/account, or first time ever for that customer?  I think the former.

That's talking about the first time you upgrade a specific BGR, nothing to do with having a BP.
