My questions:

- When am I qualified to get the Amex bonus - on Dec 5 this year, or in 2022?
- If I last received the SPG Biz bonus on 11/17/18, can I get the Chase consumer Bonvoy Bold card starting on 11/18/2020?
I have read reports that upgrade bonus does indeed reset the clock for SUB eligibility. Thus, you should be good for the brilliant card sometime in mid Dec.

As for the Bold card, based on the TPG chart, you are not eligible for the SUB as long as you still have Boundless, but you may be able to downgrade to it though.
