This will NOT be a hard pull, if I do this, right? Everything I see seems like that's the case, but it does say "If approved, you will receive your new Card(s) within 7 days."
I'm assuming that this hasn't changed, but the wording scares me a bit. Then, before my next AF, I can downgrade back to the fee-free?
I did exactly what you are looking to do here, downgraded back down to a fee free card when renewal was up. And yes, no hard pull when you take the offer.
That said, 50,000 points isnt worth much in the Hilton program, barely can buy you a stay at a Hampton Inn unless a property in the middle of nowhere.
