Call cap1.  they  may waive the fees and interest.

Yes will do, but I thought to wait till the next bill hits which may have more interest and do it all at once.

I thought the AF for my Amex biz plat was charged a few days later than it really was and when I went to cancel it was already after 30 days

Had to downgrade to green
you get a new 30 days after the downgrade to cancel that ..

I used the Amex Hyatt offer (spend $500, get $100 back) on two cards, but totally forgot to add the offer to a no foreign fee card. Ended up using two cards that have the offer saved, but both hit me with $13.50 in fees.
