I have the PRG card that I plan on cancelling in February (when the annual fee hits) unless I get a good retention offer. Seems to be that if I want to start churning/alternating the Amex Plat, I should apply for the Business Plat first, and then alternate every 11-13 months. I looked up the Business Plat and it seems to have a 25k MR offer. Is that the best offer or are there better ones that come out periodically?

Also, if I open a Business Amex card, will that preserve my Personal MR balance? Will I be able to see my Business Amex card on my personal account?
25k seems to be the best out there right now for biz, but MB & MS cards have 50k, so why not go for one of those instead ? OTOH 50k for the biz pops up fairly regularly, and occasionally 100k.
Why wait till renewal ? Annual fee on your gold will be refunded pro-rata if you do it now, and yes the biz card will preserve your MR.
