Might be (wasn't when I did it, but that was forever ago), but your question belongs there (in any case). I would assume the website would warn you if there was a hard pull.

If I posted there I highly doubt I would have gotten an expert reply like you just provided

Just upgraded mine and my wife's card hoping for 50 k and 400 aa credit
I am very close to the end of the year hope that doesn't mess me up
Can I do it on my personal too??

Got the targeted email today but from reading the t&c i can't figure out if there is a hard pull for the upgrade.
And from reading this entire thread i still didnt come out clearer. my only guess is if there is an instant approval most probably they didn't pull credit
I hope so

thought of something, would it work to get an additional 5k for enrolling into the Extended Payment Option again after upgrading if you already enrolled and received the points for the gold card?

As long as it isn't on your account it might work.

A recent story we can all learn from:

I got this offer to upgrade my gold to plat for 25k but when I tried to upgrade, it said I was not eligible.

Called cs, they opened a case and sent to back office.

Called a few days later, was told there's now a note in account saying I'm not eligible, would have to wait for correspondence by mail from back office to pursue further.

Tweeted askamex. Got a response with a link to send an email through my account. Got the following unhelpful response:
"Please call the customer service number on the back of your card, they will be able to help. -Dre"

Called executive office number, could not get through to The Man but got his email. Sent an email to chairmansoffice@aexp.com with no response yet.

Called the number provided in the email, was bounced around from Kansas to India and back to Tennessee (or maybe still India) and got a guy who either didn't see, or didn't have access to, the note in my account saying I was ineligible. Upgraded my card without a problem.

Lesson: With Amex there are many Avenues. Try them all and you shall succeed.
