Thanks so much, ER, especially for the advice on keeping the “Member Since (2009)” date. I have already been told by their CSR this morning that they were pretty sure I could keep my same card number for the Blue card if I chose to later downgrade. If this happens, it is likely that no change at all will appear on my AMEX account on my credit reports, except, possibly a new “credit limit.”
It seems like a new “credit limit” will only serve to help my credit score, not hinder it.
Well, I guess I better check out Amazon and spend whatever remaining points I have pretty soon ….
