Downgrade Amex charge card account

Options
As many other moneysavers, I did open an Amex gold charge card to take advantage of the sweet sign up bonus. I ended up liking the charge card product, in fact preferring it over a credit card, and I'll like to keep it alongside a Mastercard for the occasional shop that doesn't take Amex.

The card isn't worth £140 a year for me, though, but the standard green card at £60 might do, so I'm willing to downgrade it. A quick call to customer support revealed that they're willing to do a downgrade and refund the gold fee pro-rata, but it will yield an additional credit check – even if it's exactly the same product, just a different account tier.

Does anyone have an experience of downgrading an Amex charge card?
