As a data point I did try again this morning (from a popup asking me to upgrade when I logged in via web). Clicked the link and still takes me to the we’re sorry you do not have a card eligible page. As I said before, assume its an algorithm or something in my profile they dont like.

For the sake of clarity as I know people like to hide what they have done sometimes:
– salary is more than enough
– had gold 3 years now
– spend around 15-20k in a year there or thereabouts.
– paid off in full always

Was thinking Id get my partner to apply instead, but the big spend we were planning on doing (the reason why we considered upgrading) is due end of week so not sure if card will come in time. Ah well, maybe next time.
