I was going to wait until 10/29 to upgrade. I got the targeted 100k upgrade offer via email, account offers, and banner on top of log in. Yesterday was the last day to get my AF back on the current SPG card. It's also the same day the upgrade offer disappeared from Amex offers and the banner stopped displaying... Coincidence? I think not.... I would check through the email, but since I am not ready to upgrade now don't want to blow it by going through the stops and not completing the application. Anyone else have the upgrade offer disappear?

Any confirmation that the upgrade offer is not affected by the new cross bank regulations?

What are you basing this on
All the spend from the account is counted together with the spend of the account holder, that's generally how spend on an AU card works (except if there's a special promo to spend on an AU card.

I don’t see why this is relevant to what I am asking. Just like Au gets gold status from the primary member when primary member earns platinum status through spend maybe au gets this as well

thats not how these things work. You do the spend only the main account gets it. I don't know why you would even think that an AU would get it. So you would just spend $75K on one account and add 99 AUs and they all get it. The reason it worked with the platinum card was because it was a published benefit that you got for paying $300 a year for that credit card

dont assume that you will get platinum for previous spend.
Has anyone received Marriott platinum from either spending 75k  on an SPG luxury card or from 75k previous spend on a SPG regular card that was upgraded?
