So you threaten to cancel and then they offered you bonus miles if you don't?

So 3,000 starpoints is worth 45.00??? 3000 starwood points ≥ 45.00  (0.015 each)
ok. Gotchya...
(or you would have kept the card open anyways.... because you needed it for other reasons like the additional warranty it gives you on purchases....)

It's worth at least $60 to me, so I was pleased.

Lol.
I'll bet AMEX has some kind of system in place (Like I know Sprint has) about how much value each customer is worth and how far to go to retain them.
But then again I do encounter reps who are unwilling to play ball. As is true with CS reps in every industry if you don't like the answer you got just keep on trying...
