From reading the thread, seems like I need to get the Prestige first and then downgrade Preferred > AM in order to preserve by current TYP points. So, AM will only work if I pair it with another TYP card (and since I don't have another, getting the prestige is my only option).
You need a different card in conjunction with att+ to utilize transfer partners. If preferred can transfer to air partners, you should get a AA citi card, get the bonus, and then at some point in time convert to att+ card. Prestige is not your only option, but that would work too.

Preferred can only transfer to Sears and JetBlue (at a reduced rate). Transfer to the full range of airline partners requires Premier or Prestige.

Thanks. I didn't realize I could downgrade a AA citi plat to AM.

Technically it's not a "downgrade" if you're going from one $95ish AF card to another.

The better tern is "product convert" or "product change".

"Downgrade" means you're moving down to a lower AF card. It Access (non-More) that would be a "downgrade" from a Citi AA Plat. (Access is a no-AF card which earns 2x in the categories where Access More earns 3x.)

Thanks for the clarification. If I understand it correctly, citi allows AA plat > Access > Access More changes or can a citi plat go straight to an AM?

lastly, what is the recommended weight time after getting a Citi plat to make that PC? First year?

Citi will not permit a downgrade, upgrade or change in the first 12 months after issue. That's the typical practice for all USA issuers of personal cards, due to a provision of the Federal C.A.R.D. Act
gumercindo and LukFilm like this.

At least one person was able to apparently go Citi AA Plat -> AM in the past:

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/citi...l#post27046451 (starting at post 1122)

but only you can tell if you can do that at present. (Or "Search This Thread" for "AA Plat" (in quotes), as I did to find the above link, for more datapoints to see if there are any more recent ones.)

I would say Citi is the only one that doesn't allow downgrades within the first year of cardmembership. I've downgraded multiple AMEX cards within the first year of having it.

Navy Federal doesn't seem to care much about the CARD Act. I upgraded from their Platinum to their $49 AF Flagship within a few days of having the card, although I know this isn't the norm.

I've never tried a downgrade with Chase, U.S Bank or Wells Fargo, so I don't have a data point for those institutions. USAA won't allow product changes at all, so no data point there either.

Citi probably disallows downgrades within the first year because their incompetent reps would probably have an electrical shortage in their brain, like they almost do whenever you ask a simple question, because it would be too much for them to sort out when and when someone can't PC a card based on its level within the family of cards.

So, do car payments get 3x? Is this with plastiq? I'd love to know. I too converted my citi forward card to the ATT AM card.

Was on the phone with Citi the other day for personal reasons. The rep said people are currently unable to change to the AA cards until August because of the changes coming to them.

Hey guys, how can I get the personal link? There is a link when I log in, saying 'Take advantage of your ATT Access More Phone Offer. View Offer ', but I got system error after clicking 'view offer'. Thanks!
