If you do decide to apply for another AS card, first call B/A and lower the CL on your current card to $1,000 The last thing you want is another instant approval for another Plat card, so the lower your B/A CL the better. Then give that at least a few weeks to make it's way thru the B/A system.

I can't believe the Wiki doesn't answer your other questions, but I just checked and it says not a word about them.

So I guess I need to go back thru my list of posts, find my best one, and add it to the wiki. Not really what I wanted to do today, but now I understand why people keep making the same mistakes with their apps, then coming here and asking the same questions over and over.

Thanks for taking the time and putting that up. So as of right now I'm sol. I'll have to wait the three months and grab another card. Thanks for all your help.

BTW I was able to upgrade my Plat to Sig (I had hopes of getting the rest of 25k but looks like that's not going to happen) and getting 1k AS for my trouble. No hard pull. Not worth the 30 minutes I spent on the phone with them.

Again, thanks for all your help!
