1. I currently possess the personal gold card; it is one of my two longest-held. Delta miles have substantial value to me as I’ve netted most of my miles on this airline. However, being able to take advantage of the various ~30,000 mile offers (that change every now and then) appeals to me as I have recently found the value in credit card bonuses. This being the case, while I would like to acquire a minimum spend bonus deal with this card I recognize the that I cannot do so as long as I possess the card. I know that I have the option to
downgrade or to
upgrade (
or, should I cancel altogether first?).
Therefore my questions are:
o 1) Which way should I go?
o 2) what are the upsides/downsides of both? And
o 3) is there a waiting period following either action?
2. Can someone confirm whether
this 45,000 offer still is active? If so, might I be able to apply it to my scenario somehow?
