REALLY?? not sure where you are getting your info from.
it seems from their posts that they took my comments casually as they were intended,
you were the first to see them as "mean" and felt a need to champion the poor abused and bullied members,

seriously take a look at my posts in general, i actually go out of my way to help people who could have simply done a search or are entirely clueless,

 give me a break when did we get so sensitive around here!!! SHEESH

Btw who said it was 60 days to cancel and get the fee refunded? Every time I call after it's been more than 30 days to cancel they try and charge me for 1 month, and then I tell them about the 60 day rule and they say they've never heard of it.

i don't think it is a rule per se, it's just what just about everyone actually experienced it has been reported countless times,

some csr will tell you straight out, "oh, i see you you are still within 60 days so i'll refund you entirely" others will deny it . While it certainly is YMMV, even people who were charged for a second month are almost always able to get it back by HUCA later.

The one time i was charged was on the the 25k gold to plat upgrade where the csr claimed there wasn't any 60 day window(in contrast to regular cards) , but when he put through the refunds they ended up being for the entire amounts anyways.

When cancelling via SM, do they give you refund issues about 30 days vs 60 days?

This reminds me of that one time that i saw a REAL magician!!

he was standing at a street light and waving a wand every couple of minutes saying "abra cadabra, now turn RED!" and then "turn GREEN!" he was right EVERY  TIME!

Never had any problems. Just did it today and got it all refunded easily after almost 2 months.

Any reason I should be nervous about cancelling 2 Platinums in 1 day? Looking for people's experiences, not theories.

What sort of experiences are you looking for? That AmEx refuses to cancel the cards? I mean, what are you nervous about? (Your obviously nervous enough to ask in the first place...)
