Fun fact, my girlfriend always receives her new card 2 months before me which seems very unfair (it happened both last year and this year too)
Last year I qualified for plat in october and got my card until 01/20.
I subscribed for amex to share the status with my mother and she ended up to get a card valid until 02/20 when she got upgraded in november. So it seems to be granted for 15months.

The thing I am wondering is what happens if I change the co-card from my mother to my wife ? I guess my wife will get upgraded to plat for 15 months. What about my mother : back to silver (status she would have with 150xp at the moment) or soft landing to gold ? When would it happen ? 02/20 or immediately when i change the co-card ?
