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.

Which no AF business charge card can you downgrade to?
No AF business cards.
Since this is a charge card, it won't hurt much to close down.

You can downgrade the charge card to a credit card?

Not sure about thatYou cannot downgrade a charge card to a credit card. You can disregard the downgrading partlink to the no AF cards as those are credit cards.

The fee is prorated. So the longer you wait, the less you will get back. (IIRC,  within 60 days you get full refund)

It may be because you are keeping a card and not cancelling. Personally I didn't pay the AF, but it may be different if you want to keep a card.
