Nope. No refer

Chat said no downgrade Options at the moment and I could call .
If I call and downgrade to green is there some risk of losing points before enrolling in MR as seems to be suggested above ?

i just did this, confirmed over phone we wouldn't lose and he said no. Membership rewards of new spend posted yesterday maybe a few days after activating the green card.

I chatted yesterday and they said 48hrs for the platinum card rewards to transfer across. Will update if any issues.

If we want to downgrade and keep our rewards points, what is the best way? Downgrading to the Green card will still charge annual fee of $80 plus $80 for membership points keeping, that is $160 a year for nothing? Any way to only pay $80 annual fee and keep the rewards points?

Unlikely . Consider applying for another cheaper MR card.
