I have earned my FN award (just last week) which is good for 24 months - but now that my AF fee is due this next cycle, I would like to downgrade to the free card since I'm not travelling right now anyway. According to my reading of the status terms, I won't lose either my status (since it was earned thru $40K spend then extended due to Covid, not simply granted by owning the card as the Gold level was originally) or my FN award. I think I would lose my Priority pass access but I have plenty of United passes I can't use right now anyway. Am I missing anything?
Has anyone else downgraded this year and what was your result?
I had two Surpass cards, and downgraded one to the no fee card in early March. My wife has one too, and I’ll likely downgrade hers when it comes up for renewal.
