BTW, is this a benefit for authorized users or just the primary accountholder? What color is your AmEx card, Plat or Gold (versus spouse's Plat card, as IIRC there's a higher annual fee for the Plat authorized used card)? [This issue seems to matter with some of the AmEx DL affiliated cards.]

Primary and authorized user cards get the benefit of the SPG Gold upgrade. I've had to call up this March and in March 2014 to get some accounts upgraded because it didn't auto-renew. I can't recall calling up in March 2015 for renewed Gold, but maybe it was done without me knowing about it.
