I'm finally going to make DM with the help of the Amex reserve.
Here's my question: after I get to $60k this year, I have no real use for the reserve card until next year when I will pass through the $30k threshold for more mqms because with DM I won't need the free club access. I know Amex allows for easy movement between cards so I'm thinking it might be worth it to downgrade the reserve to platinum and upgrade sometime next year before I reach the platinum Amex spending threshold. Would this work?
I guess the real issue is at what point does the YTD spending on an Amex count towards the threshold bonuses you have a change of card..?
