Tons of offers go out to upgrade charge cards. Some people find an offer right on their online account where they can just do it right their. A lot of people on the forum have reported getting said offers.

i am jsut wondering if i will ever get an offer to upgrade to plat for a cheap AF

U can always ask them to upgrade but i doubt they will grant a ""cheap"" AF. No way.

While i doubt you'll ever get an upgrade to a plat with a cheap AF, they do offer things like the senior green, and (i think) the senior gold card, which tend to be slightly cheaper (substantially cheaper if you don't want rewards).

Yes, I received a targeted upgrade offer for Platinum upgrade about 6 months after getting the Gold. Same Platinum AF fee and it's billed first statement (less pro rated AF from Gold). If you are worried about the AF on a Platinum I'm thinking you don't need it or are not ready. I value the perks so the fee is no big deal. Also I don't charge very much on it unless I have a big purchase then it's great.

How much AF for the senior gold card ??

[jsucool76]

Ranges from 55-75 depending on what options you get. I'll try to find the site that lists all the card options. Can't app for senior cards though, have to PC to then.
