@Kraut – if you cancel your Gold now, you won’t be eligible for a Plat SUB for 24 months whereas in keeping it you are likely (but not guaranteed) to be eligible for the SUB sooner via the upgrade route which is routinely at 40k but in recent times has mirrored the new customer SUB promotions up to 80k +. That does obviously mean paying the Gold fee in the interim.
Understood, so if I cancel my Gold card, I have to wait 24 months to get any SUB for Platinum etc if I sign up again. How annoying
