My annual fee is due tomorrow. I'd like to close out the card and not pay the fee, though I bought several thousands worth of airline tickets and the 5x points haven't posted yet.

Any advice?

Thanks!
is there reason to believe that5X  points wont post if u downgrade to green? you purchased the tix on a plat.

Needed roadside assistance the other day on the side of the garden state parkway. Amex couldn't come out because roadside is restricted to GSP authorized companies. I ended up paying for services myself, anyway to get reimbursed? I called but no luck.

+1, If it's due already he likely doesn't have enough time, unless he wants to downgrade and get prorated refund.

Yeah, that's what happened...

If I downgrade to PRG, do I get the AFC this year and next year?

Rep actually brought it up when downgrading, told me to select the airline when I get the card because the benefit does reset. Now that's not a bad deal!

used to work in the past. I have seen a couple reports of clawbacks in this situation recently though so YMMV.

Not really sure what category this falls into, but it's somewhat connects here...


I needed to book tickets today, and was planning to do so via my MR with my BP. For some reason while adding an infant, and afterwards even without, the flights I was seeing on DL's website and GF were not showing up on the travel portal. I called in, and was placed on hold for close to 20 min, then bounced to another rep and another. The last rep I spoke to told me she couldn't see the flight I was looking at, and I had to walk her through every step until she found it, at which point the flight had gone up close to $50. I was transferred to the amex.com rep, who rudely told me that if I can't see it, tough luck. I'm stuck with an itinerary that isn't the most ideal, and would like to possibly change it if something better comes along, but am not sure what the best approach here is. Any advice or input is appreciated.
