AMEX GOLD TO PLAT

DoctorManhattan — Sat, 26 Feb 2022 21:51:56 GMT

Just PC from Gold to Plat. I was offered 100,000 bonus points and a $150 statement credit if I spend 6,000 within 6 months. 5x on restaurants / supermarkets in the first 6 months as well. I'm just hoping that because I "PC" doesn't mess up my bonus. I don't know why I have this lingering in the back of my head lol.

Congrats on the upgrade and spectacular upgrade bonus. As long as it was an upgrade bonus, you qualify for everything stated. You just wouldn't qualify for a public new account bonus if doing a PC.

Yeah, that's been going around for a while. I took it because I'm aced out of Platinum SUBs anyway, though it's likely I will carefully just keep the CS Plat that was offering 100k + 10x dining/Shop Small and downgrade it back to a Gold a little after a year past the upgrade...

@notmyrealname23 - my understanding is that there is no downgrade option on the Charles Schwab Platinum as there are no CS-specific Gold cards issued (same for the GS and MS versions). The 'vanilla' Platinum has the downgrade options to Gold and/or Green, though.

Right, as you can see from my signature I am rocking TWO Platinums. "Keep the CS Plat" is the one I am probably keeping. "It" refers to the Gold->Platinum upgrade.

Right, I'm aware you have both, but the way that specific statement was written, it leads with the CS Plat as the "it", so I was clarifying for the community to avoid confusion with the way that statement was worded.

I agree, it sounded as if OP was saying they were going to downgrade the CS Platinum.

Right, so taking an upgraded Gold->Platinum (the thread topic) back to a Gold at month 13 or so after an upgrade is feasible?

(My AF for that card is due in May but month 13 is Novermber or so, so I think I am getting a prorated annual fee back).
