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 stating, and asking why. Weren't the AUs meant to remain as BRG cards. I didnt specify for them to be upgraded. Will amex charge me for these?
Did this happen to anyone else?
The same happened to me, and i specifically stated not to upgrade the additional users. Now for over a month theses charges are pending on my "dispute"

did anyone have success getting the 200 credits twice in the same year, by downgrading and then upgrading later on again?

It didn't work for me.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

Upgraded in Nov 2013. Downgraded approx 2 weeks later.
AmEx mistakenly credited me twice for the Plat annual fee, therefore I had a credit on my account of approx $2,000 (includes 7 AUs).
I livechatted with AmEx a few weeks ago offering me points (20K) or $200 credit for being an honest consumer. This past weekend I noticed the credit had not yet been reversed.  Therefore, I chatted with AmEx again.  The rep told me the reason why nothing was reversed yet was because the $200 credit is equivalent to 40,000 MR points not 20K as the original rep mentioned. I was not going to fight with this.  I received a call from an AmEx manager today as I was running into a meeting and have yet to receive a callback.  Logged into my account to notice not just the  40,000 MR points deposited but a $200 credit as well. Has anyone else had any similar experiences?
