How long did it take for your BA miles to show up in your BA executive account?

Mine still says zero, and I met the spend requirement at least 6 weeks ago.

I had the same issue. Chase kept telling me to wait and it will eventually show up. I finally got a rep who realized that my executive account was not linked to chase. Now that they linked it, I think I have to wait until the next closing period for the points to transfer (although I did ask them to expedite it).

I signed up for the Amex platinum e few months ago and got the 50,000 (actually 51,000). Then I didn't cancel, but downgraded it to a gold card.
Can I reinstate to a platinum, then ask for 50,000 aditional points with rference to offer 5748?
Or should I just ask for additional 25,000 pts on the gold with reference to offer 5894?

what does it take to downgrade? Are you paying 175 or not?

Thanks for the code!
The DD link for the card is: http://www.dansdeals.com/go/amexplatbusiness/

To clarify- this link just gets DD credit but does not say it is for 100k miles promotion. That comes later when you call up with the code?

Anyone?

Yes. The code is officially targeted, so there's no link, but you'll get matched when you call in (after you've received the card).

Many people on the forums myself included have applied with dans links for 25/50k and then got matched to 100k.

I think the question here is specifically about the Business Platinum.

Sorry I didn't realize that,,but considering that there is a 100k offer out there for the bussplat and with the recent success of the ddf matching campaigns for the plat and prg this should be matchable too.

Concrete experience would be appreciated. Also, considering the business promo is for 10k spending has anyone had success using the consumer promo codes for the Business Platinum. The current public promo is for 25k after first spend.

It's probably too soon for anyone to have tried matching the targeted 100K for $10K spend business platinum offer yet, since that offer just came out about a week ago, it requires $10K spend, and recently most folks have been doing the consumer platinum, not the business platinum.

It's easy to downgrade. Just call them up, and they will downgrade you to gold, green, or zync (no points transfers to airline programs with zync), then refund the pro-rated higher annual fee back to you, and charge the lower annual fee going forward. Or, you could just get the first year free with the current Gold PR offer, then cancel your Plat for full refund.

Hopefully. I believe the targeted business platinum 100K offer is still untested as to matching. But, considering the targeted consumer platinum 100K offer has been matched pretty darn successfully, I would say odds of matching are good.

If you want to churn the plat and gold cards, is it better to cancel them or downgrade them after you've gotten your points?

easy48 · « **Reply #817 on:** July 04, 2011, 11:19:19 AM »

For the business plat you can put a social security num instead of Tax ID?

IMHO, as soon as you get both cards, meet the plat spend req. ASAP, make sure you've squeezed out all the bennies you want (rental elites, SPG Gold, etc), and then close it before 60 days to get your full fee refund. Then you can finish the gold card and maybe use it throughout the free year; no point in canceling/downgrading it right away. THEN call when the year's almost up and see if you can get a retention bonus worth staying for. The PR Gold's not a bad card at all to keep and use btw..

That's exactly what I did, got all my points and credits from the Platinum and then cancelled to get my $450 refunded, and keeping my Gold PR since first year fee is waived.
