Amex green to gold

Stonecold756 · ‎07-07-2026

Hello just a general question about ex product changes, so I got the Amex Green this past weekend, is it a year or six months that you have to wait to product change to the gold or upgrade?

Why are you wanting to "upgrade" so soon? The underwriting standards are the same between the Green and Gold so if you wanted the Gold you should have applied for it instead.

I'd personally recommend applying for the Gold card separately so you don't miss out on the SUB of the Gold.

Current active cards:
Amex - Platinum, BCP
BofA - Unlimited Cash Rewards Sig
Chase - CSR, Amazon Prime, United Explorer
Citi - Custom Cash, Costco Visa
TCL - $370k
CC utili - 2%
Experian - 818

You likely can change to the Gold now via chat. Of course, the AF will be a lot more.

Can you clarify what the "upgrade" is meaning?
