Question
The link below indicates an initial 20K for signing up for this platinum card with no annual fee for the first year. I now have a Gold AA MC. As I read the terms and conditions on the new offer it seems to state that "only new customers" for this Platinum card are eligible for the 20K offer. I've never had a Platinum AA MC so am I a new customer even though I've had the Gold card? The "other cards" phrase at the end of that same sentence in the T&C is mystifying to me. I have no idea what it means.
When I signed up for the Gold card 18 months ago I got 12K miles. So it seems to me they ought to give me either 25K or at least 13K new miles for the upgrade. Or should I just cancel the Gold card, wait a bit and apply for the Platinum. Anyone tried/done this and willing to tell me what happened? I could use some advice before I call CS.
Answer
You can simply apply for an additional account. I have been a Citi AA Gold MC holder for a while and applied and recieved both their Plat MC and Amex cards along with the mileage bonuses earlier this year.
Answer
I have two Citi cards also. They can merge the accounts, including credit lines, if you ask them.
Answer
They all say 'new customers only' for bonus miles, but in my experience Delta Amex is the only one that consistently enforces this. A new application will net you a new card and 20k.
Answer
Reportedly Delta enforces a "one bonus a lifetime" rule, regardless of how many Skymiles cards you apply/cancel with them.

Agreed. Just apply for a new Plat card (and their AMEX if you wish) and you will receive both 20K and 15k BONUS. Boht cards offer fee free for the first year. Once you receive your Plat card, u can ask them to transfer credit line from Gold to Plat and then close your gold.
