Am I correct in my understanding that if I plan on cancelling the plat card and would like to get Global Entry for a family member that i should just add an AU, pay for GE, then cancel the card and I'll get reimbursed the $300 that i paid for the AU?
Yes

You already got the credit on the primary card?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

If I got my bonus points, then cancel the card within 60 days of the fee hitting in the first year, will I have any issues keeping the points if I have another Amex card with MR? Do I have to use the MR before I cancel, or am I safe to keep the MR even though I'm canceling the card so soon?

I recently transferred out all my points from my plat after spending $3k and having the 3k from spend expedited. I need to make a $900 return on the card, will they put my points into -900  like they do in Canada? Does it matter if the MR balance is in negative when I close the account?

Would airline fee refunds offset the amount? Amex annual fees do not count, correct?

af would be under 'fees'
So should be easy
And i think offer refunds don't take down the spend...
