Hi
I get that you don’t get the bonus points if you have had a personal Amex in the last 24 months, but when does the “first year free” reset?
So I had a Gold, moved it to BAPP. If I reapply for Gold, I’m guessing I’ll have to pay the £160 but made me wonder when does that reset? (if ever).
Eventually I’d like a Platinum with the bonus so I thought going to Gold then upgrading to Platinum would at least give me some MR bonus rather than waiting 2 years.
Why not just sign up now for the Platinum if you currently hold the BAPP? You’d get the SUB.
I believe if you get the Gold card first it will rule out getting a SUB on the Platinum card

As long as he has not held the gold in the last 2 years
As long as you’re accepted, the 1st year with Gold is always free, regardless whether you held the card recently or not.

I hadn’t appreciated that. Reading it again, it’s obvious, it’s a personal MR Amex that you can’t ha e held, I’d totally missed the MR bit. Thanks.I still need to wait but it works a lot better.
In my head, going to Gold was an option as you often get an upgrade SUB from gold to platinum so thought that might be a way around it, but makes more sense just to wait the 2 years from Gold which is not far off.
