Any DP on taking retention offer (ie 10K MR) yet still cancelling the card? Are you foregoing your right to cancel the card by taking the retention offer?

Is the AF prorated? I paid in 12/16 and now again in 12/17.  If I keep card open till 2018, to get $200 credit, and then shut the card, will I get back the AF - 1 month?

a month from when it was charged not from when paid
But if you downgrade you'll get it prorated

If I were to apply for platinum today any chance I could still get the airline credit for this year in time?

IME its fine

They are firm in saying that the computer says I selected the next day and therefore won't give me any rebate. Have escalated up the ladder and still no. I selected the airline online before I booked. Anyone else have this issue or any ideas?

Not at the moment that I'm aware of. If anyone has a working link, my inbox is always open.
