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.

Im wondering also..... I got a targeted email so I upgraded for the 2nd time.... called twice and still no luck :(
Seems like from the people who did it and posted, that you will probably need to ask about it and only may get the points.

+1 not even to upgrade, rather-to apply for a new one

Other browsers just open a page for adding additional cards

Yeah I made a thread about that a few months back but can't seem to find it now. I never quite understood how the search engine works on these forums...


It is targeted. If you're not targeted it will say that the systems are down and to try again later.
If you have my email PLEASE don't PM me :)
