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

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?
