Platinum Charge Card downgrade.

[avijith7]

Can I downgrade Amex Platinum Charge Card to Amex Gold Charge Card, considering that I am unable to use the benefits of Platinum Charge Card fully?

AFAIK and discussion with Amex team last time, they told me No. But someone with more experience in this can address this.

How do I go about it? Just request the customer care? Or do I have to close my Platinum Charge Card and apply again for Gold Charge Card?

Phone customer care and ask how to do it

There's no such option as a downgrade.

If you have just the Platinum Charge card, enjoy it till the last date and then close it down.
And before you close it down, apply for a new Gold Charge card so your points remain with you.

And if you have multiple Amex cards, you can close it down and then can apply for the Gold charge afterwards as well.

But will system allow to apply Gold Charge when you hold Plat Charge??
