As far as I am concerned there is no pull.
From experience or a guess?

It's easiest to send them an SM through the website.  If you cancel after 60 days, you'll get a prorated refund of the annual fee.  As meshugener is alluding to, make sure that your points post to your MR account before you cancel...and if necessary transfer them out before you cancel if it's your only card enrolled in that MR program.

Before you rush to cancel the card, be sure to take advantage of the $200 refund in airline fees for both this year and again for next year as soon as January hits.

Did you receive a MR bonus from Amex in the past 12 months?

In my opinion, when its just a few threads down the block, is there even a need to link or advise a fellow to search?
Who's with me?

If you already told him there's a post you might as well link him. In any case you don't need or must do anything.

You can ask, but the chances of it happening is -0
