is there a point that the annual fee will not be prorated anymore? or is the annual fee always prorated whenever card is cancelled?

IME, I got a refund after 6+ months, IIRC (I was a little slow in cancelling).

Is this the best card for access to airport lounges? Also, any success in getting the AF waived?

I was able to get it waived by threatening to cancel my PRG card. When it is active, it is the best for you get international access as well from Priority pass. However, if you frequently fly United this card will not be as valuable for only the United Club card grants you access there.

Thanks. I see on Priority Pass' website that the United lounge in JFK is listed. Could it be that some United lounges are included?

I don't think so. When you call Amex to get the priority pass they read you three paragraphs. The only memorable sentence was taht United lounges are not included.
However, if this is incorrect I would be very happy.

I can't seem to find it in the thread: will amex match the platinum 100,000 MR offer?
Do they match any other offers (i.e. Amex gold)?

Amex plat cardholders now get free HHonors gold!

I called to upgrade several days ago and the change is still not reflected on my online account. How long does it take for it to start showing that I am Gold?
