Amex balance down for anyone else, or just me?
Edit: working again
If one cancels / downgrades from Gold or Platinum, does Priority Pass get cancelled immediately? I downgraded from Plat to the free card a few months ago, and I know that I get to keep my hotel statuses until the end of the membership year.
I thought PP gets cancelled instantly, but when I log into the app, it shows as membership expiring January 2026ā¦ I am travelling next month unexpectedly, and would welcome lounge access. Do I try?

Be the guinea pig and report back 
Isnāt the PP linked to the actual Gold or Platinum card, so I wonder when you go to scan the PP QR code computer will say no.
Could well be.
Iām being told I canāt upgrade to Gold for a year and I donāt want to do a fresh application while my mortgage goes through. I could re-upgrade to Plat but that feels excessive.
But then I have to sit in the airport like a commoner.
Anyone ever used āplan itā?
Not when you have to pay for it, no.

Nah ā¦ Flex is free for 3 months, so just use that instead! 
Looks like Amex are changing their travel insurance provider from AXA to Europ Assistance from 1 Jan 2025.
Saw it in the app, never heard of them before.
Trustpilot reviews seem a bit ehh, lower rated than AXA

Price goes up, benefits go down. Yay.
I think we should stop using Amex because theyāve got 1.6 stars.
Fair enough, hard to evaluate a company Iāve never heard of without using trustpilot reviews though

Trustpilot is the worst place to get a good idea of a company.

Having read the insurance document in more detail, I donāt know how I feel about them being based in Spain.
The fact that their postal address is literally in Spain, and not the UK.
The medical and some other parts are via a UK company thatās regulated by UK authorities, extras like excess waivers are via the EU company.
Not seen that on my card.
Will be interesting to see what the new Platinum benefits are going into 2025. I donāt know I find it strange Amex still havenāt announced them considering thereās only a few months left of this year and they expect people to signup and pay the annual fee, with a chance that the benefits will likely change next year.
