Iam trying to create a Google Workspace account but for some reason I am locked into the Business Plus plan ($18/month/user). I want to sign up for the Business Starter plan ($6/month/user), but there is no option to change the selected plan during registration. I tried to delete my account and start fresh, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do that either.

This is extremely frustrating. I shouldn't have to sign up for the free trial of the most expensive plan just to create an account only to have to downgrade it to the desired plan once I can actually access the admin panel. What kind of terrible user experience is that?


Sign up with Business Plus then immediately down your subscription to Business Starter on the Subscriptions page of the Admin Console. Here's the direct link to the subscriptions page. Once you're there, click on Google Workspace Business Plus then Upgrade or Downgrade.


I'm having the same problem - ridiculous that I can't sign up on the starter package and that I'm forced into an upsell and have to use business plus. Why not allow users to choose their plan. So stupid

As I exit the garden, I decided to add my first AMEX business card. I'm seriously considering closure of my AMEX Gold personal card after two years unless there is a sweet retention offer. While I like the Gold card, the fee/credits situation just doesn't add up for me. However, I have a pot of unused MRs that I need to keep, so adding an MR-earning card was a wise idea. The Everyday/Everyday Preferred cards didn't appeal and I liked the idea of not only a soft pull but a card that won't show on my personal reports as a new account. And if I were to keep the Gold, the BBP is an excellent companion earning 2x MRs up to $50K with no AF. (Honestly, they need a personal card like this anyway!)


Like with my Chase INK card, I applied using a minor "sole proprietorship" side-gig which only is a very small part of my household income. Chase had approved me for $9K so I hoped for at something in that ballpark. AMEX approved me for a similar $10K SL. Not bad. Plus, with the $75K they had approved on my personal Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant, that still puts me at $85K total exposure with them on just two cards, or $103K if you count the $18K on my Gold Pay-over-Time.


Enjoy the card.. Got out of the MR game to much of a headache for me personally and use this Business cash card at 2% a ton now use to have BBP card which is a good card if value MR's. Grats on your approval. Can't bring myself to getting and of the AF business cards even with MR offers as did the whole collection a few times with personal and ended up getting bad value how I used them aka cash out without schwab or similiar.

Thanks @cashorcharge and @CreditCuriosity! Yes, I know MRs can be quite valuable but it all depends on how you redeem. Their redemption rate tends to vary much more widely than Chase URs, so I think long-term I'll be sticking with them. Meanwhile, between my SUB and spending, I don't want to waste the points I've accrued. Cash back (even with Schwab) seems a poor value compared to other options. They offer transfer promotions regularly (a bunch going on now) and bonuses up to about 25% over regular rates.


By the way, I checked into MR point transfer (Gold to BBP) and don't see where that is an option. Is that just since I don't have any points on the BBP yet and will it show up later? With Chase, moving URs is very easy in the portal between card accounts. I hope I wasn't mistaken about being able to transfer or pool URs between MR personal and business cards or I may have just wasted my time.

So about 3 weeks ago, I applied and got approved for an AMEX Blue Business Plus card. Its my 3rd AMEX card. 1 personal (BCP) and the other ones are business. Blue Business Cash and now the Blue Business Plus. CLs are 12k for teh BCP, 3k for the BBC and the initial credit limit for the new BBP was $10k. I was happy with that. Today I looked at my available limit on my BBP card and it was $19k. Wait what?!?! I look and it says my credit limit is $23k. Huh?!? It went from $10k to $23k??? Did AMEX initially only release $10k until the card was activated or something? I'm just curious what happened. I didnt request a credit limit, I am under the impression you need to wait 3-6 months before you are eligible for a CLI anyway. I did get a CLI on my personal card...$4k to $12k, but that wouldnt explain the $10k to $23k increase. I'm not mad at it...lol...just curious.


Update: Called AMEX and asked them why the CL had changed. We determined that initially the credit limit before the actual card arrives can be diffierent because it may use a virtual card before the actual card arrives. Once th ephysicalk card arrives and is activated it unlocks the full credit limit which was $23k in my case.
