Just got approved for Amex Platinum. It is not an upgrade on my current Gold. I am going to cancel the Gold. Is it an easy process? Can I keep my points?

Yes you can keep your points. Why don’t you think it’s an upgrade?

I did not apply for an upgrade but did it separately. It is certainly an upgrade but I assume that i need to call and cancel. Thoughts?

OP means he/she didn't use an Upgrade offer on his Gold card, they simply applied for a fresh card.

OP, to answer your question, you can cancel your Gold card and keep your MR points since you have an MR earning card. Did you already use your annual travel credit on your Gold card?

@S1 i didnt use it for this year.

When does your annual fee hit? You should really use it before you cancel the card. If you set your preferred airline to American or Delta you can just buy gift cards.

Good advice

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?
