Last time i did it, it was prorated, also green has an annual fee.
So if you want to get a full refund you can only close, not downgrade.

Or downgrade and then close.

You can close then, but you'll still lose out on the used months' worth. But I guess it should be worth it not to close a platinum card.

Oh right. What happened to the rule where you can't downgrade/upgrade in 12 months? Is everyone here downgrading new cards, or are you referring to old cards past 12 months?

People have been getting randomly hassled about closing Amex cards over phone for awhile now.

Just don't call, chat.
