Re: Amex Optima Card to Regular Amex

BimmerBro · ‎05-25-2021

Thanks for the advice! Called Amex yesterday and was approved for Amex Gold again!

Didn't think it would happen this quickly. Since I was a prior Amex Gold holder they advised I wouldn't qualify for the initial 60k points offer but that's ok for now!

You can keep the card open until you need to make room for a new one. You're eligible to apply for a regular card after 12 months.
