Downgrade to the green card which has a much lower annual fee and you get a prorated refund for the Annual fee from the more expensive platinum. And then you can cancel the card with much lower annual fee paid.

If you downgrade they give you a prorated refund. But if you cancel the card after 30 days, the annual fee is gone.

United ticket booked through Amex Travel, flight was cancelled. Amex says I can refund it to the card (cash refund)  then request from Membership Rewards to convert the refund back to points. Anyone have experience with this is this true/possible?

I assume you booked it with points, that's always the case when you cancel a refundable ticket that was booked with membership rewards, the refund goes back to the card and you have to ask them to convert the refund to points.

Thanks yes booked with points. And they are easy about this conversion, it’s a regular request…?
