Q: If I upgraded my Amex Gold card to the Amex Platinum, can I still get a welcome bonus on a new Platinum card?
A: No. If you’ve had the card before, you’re not eligible for the welcome bonus, even if you never received one.
Q: If I receive an upgrade offer with bonus points from Amex, can I downgrade after getting the bonus?
A: Downgrading within 12 months of receiving a bonus may result in being blacklisted by Amex.
Q: Are charge cards included in the Amex 2/90 rule?
A: No.
Q: Can I downgrade a personal Amex Gold card to a no-annual-fee card?
A: No. The cheapest downgrade option is the Green card with a $150 annual fee.
Q: Can I downgrade an Amex card via chat?
A: Yes, you can downgrade through chat or by calling customer service.
Q: I downgraded my Amex Platinum to Amex Green, then saw a 50k upgrade offer to Platinum. Is there any harm in upgrading again?
A: No. Upgrading is fine. The issue is downgrading within 12 months after receiving a bonus.
