I mean it IS still a Gold card, it’s just not a Preferred Rewards Gold card!

Has anyone received offers to upgrade back to Platinum from Gold Charge card Amex?
(Historically there was a 20,000 MR points for £1k spend)
I would be looking forward to something like this
They’re offering me 30k bonus to upgrade from my Gold charge to Plat charge, as long as I spend £4k in the first three months. But I won’t take them up on it, I don’t want to give up my Gold charge.
What are the advantages of the Gold Charge over Gold Credit?
The main one is having no set credit limit. My Gold charge “spending power” hovers around £30-60k, which makes shopping at places like Cartier or paying for Maldives holidays simpler – big ticket items always go through with no fuss. I wouldn’t give that up for a set Gold credit limit that will definitely be much smaller.

JL credit taking unusually long to arrive. I redeemed on 11th at JL White City, got the email right away, yet still no sign of the credit two weeks later…

It used to be CUT, now I’d say it’s Colony Grill Room.
