The only reason I have the platinum Amex is for the travel benefits but it doesn’t seem practical at $500 anymore
Going to try this today!
I did this and got the same deal.
Your card isn’t restricted to just travel. It’s a credit card that can be used for any purchases wherever accepted. I’d be surprised if they were waiving annual fees, but awesome if they are! I’m adding the CSP and Ink Business cards soon.
Platinum Amex, you can downgrade to gold or green and get a prorated annual fee for both cards. Then if travel resumes you can call back to upgrade back to plat and the fee is still prorated.
I was wondering the same thing
Last year was my first year with Amex Plat, spent 50k in ~5 mths and they offered 50k bonus points just for keeping the card open

I have the AAdvantage executive card pretty much exclusively for access to admirals clubs. Good idea to try and call, I might do that this week.
One of my co-workers got $100 back from Chase, they sent him notification via email. I didn’t get an email so I’m gonna call and see if I can get some type of credit as well 🤞🏼
Don't do it just yet. On their earnings call their CEO mentioned extra benefits coming in May for platinum card holders.
Also, try calling. I got 50k points on my plat.
