Let's say I will have spent 50K this year by the time of this "upgrade". Does it mean that (once I upgrade in August) I will only need to spend an extra 25 K to have it made? Or the clock resets at the time of this upgrade? Anyone has any idea about that?
Seems unlikely. The card hasn't been issued yet and comes with a $450 af. I'd imagine clock starts when you've been approved for the new card and agree to that hefty af.
