It's 90 days from canceling the platinum right? Not 90 days from signing up? Signing up for the platinum 13 months ago still disqualifies me correct? TIA

Correct- you can't have a card from the same product family within 90 days. If its the same card you can't have it for 12 months. Again, these are fairly new T&C's and many many people have slipped by but if you don't its really hard to argue for your poins..

It would be minimal under FICO standards, if you credit utilization is low or zero on all credit cards, however, if there is some remaining balance - it will hurt credit rating

Quote from Liquidus

Everybody is getting this card for the bonus and then canceling after a year. Aside from the credit inquiry, the effect on your score of doing this is minimal.

Sorry for the dumb question, but what can one redeem the points for? Thanks.

Should be good for $500 GCs to Gap.

thanks OP for this post. Got my wife one since I already got the 100k plat last month.

My plan for the 50k points is 1 RT ticket to bangkok. This normally costs over $1000 so I think it was worth it.
I wouldn't waste these points with GC

MR points can be transferred to 16 airlines. Some good ones for domestic are jetblue and frontier. 50k is enough for 2 RT flights to anywhere in the USA and likely good enough for 2 RT tickets to mexico or C.A
