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.

I upgraded a few days ago from BGR to plat and in my amex online account it shows the plat card, however I still haven't received it in the mail.

Will my spending now (before activation of the Plat) count towards the 10K threshold I need to meet?

(I have the a strong feeling the answer is no, but just figured I'd ask just in case)

The answer is YES.

How long do you have to have the card to be eligble?

I don't think there's a time limit.

Has anyone who upgraded up to Plat have success getting a bonus from a new biz plat application within a year?

Tried downgrading from plat to gold and then using link to re-upgrade, doesn't work.

Was worth a shot though.

Does it pay to wait until December to get 2x the airline credit or the offer won't be then?

Barely pays, $450 /12 =$37.50/month, 3 months until January = $112.50 I don't think it's worth it plus it would probably be more like 4 months...

As far as the offer, I Don't think its going anywhere.
