Forums Payment cards American Express Gold Charge Card Downgrade

  • 6 posts

    Hi,

    I’m reviewing my options and with the increase in card fee I feel that I am not using the benefits for the Gold card that justify the cost. The only benefits I use are lounge access and collecting points which I convert to Avios.

    I see that Lloyds Bank are now offering World Elite Mastercard for £15 a month with unlimited Priority Pass rather than the 4 I get with my Gold Rewards.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to downgrade my Gold Charge Card to something else. I know the Green card is discontinued to new customers not sure if it is still available to downgrades.

    Is it possible to switch from a charge card to credit card with Amex? Or is it a new application? Wondering if the BA or Rewards Card would suit me more.

    Yes the green is still a downgrade option (at least was for me last week).

    Switch to credit would be a separate application

    Thanks for that info. What is the fee on the green card?
