Cancelling AMEX Platinum. Where to transfer points?

[ShlomoR]

I have an Amex platinum and I want to cancel it so I can get my annual fee back.. even though I will only get 337$ because its past 2 months since I paid it. Where can i transfer my miles to? I have 80k miles and I dont really need to use them now.
What is my best bet?
I will later want to transfer them to a FF airline program.

Thanks in advance,
Shlomo

Apply for another amex mr card, and, CMIIW, it'll stay in your MR account.

Yup, that or downgrade to Zync.

I downgraded to blue sky. IS there a difference?

[ShlomoR]

I dont want a Gold or Green card. Can I transfer to any other card?
They told me the Zync and Blue cards cannot transfer MR points to FF airline programs

I don't think blue sky is an MR card

You can keep your points and continue to earn points with one of those cards. You can convert to (or apply for) a mileage-transfer card at a later point and transfer to miles.

Do I have to sign up for a Zync card and then cancel my Platinum card?
Or can i call customer service and ask them to downgrade me to a zync?

And why Zync and not Blue?
Do I get any benefits w Zync? Why pay the 25$ annual fee?

yes. with blue you'd have kept any existing MR points. with bluesky you'd lose them
