Not sure if this has been discussed yet, but I have heard from 2 people already that they called to cancel their amex plat (after 60 days elapsed) and amex refused to refund them the prorated annual fee. No matter what they said, they wouldnt do it.

Has anyone else heard of this happening? Is it Amex's policy that they refund the prorated amount or is it at the CSR's discretion?

Here is a screenshot if anyone needs...
I would also keep a screenshot of the 50K on the app page as well as the bonus ID code on the app page.

I've never had a problem getting one prorated.
I think it happens automatically.

Maybe the people were given problems because their accounts were opened for a very short while and/or they called to terminate immediately after MR points posted.

I'm just hypothesizing why the 2 people David referred to were experiencing problems. Are you saying they're wrong and will ultimately receive a refund?

I do think so.
And I also think that even if they don't get a refund they can call and ask afterwards for the prorated refund.

I  closed my AE platnium yesterday, I have it for little over 2 months, and I got full refund to my surprise.

I'm cancelling my plat card today. I'll post how it goes. (btw, a cancelled card will still for sure get me lounge access into the AAdmirals club, right?)

I had a similar problem. They said it can't be refunded because I didn't have another AMEX card open. Just open another card and they will be able to give you a refund. I think it is all done automatically by the computer and the CSR has no say in the matter.
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Where do you see the bonus ID on the page? Is it in the url?

Where did you get that info from? What if it's less than 60 days? What's a "primary Amex card"?

You get 60 days from when it posts? I thought its from when you open the card...

How long does it take for them to remove a application record, so applicant doesn't need to call to get application manually process? I check application status page today, I have an application from Feb 10, 2011 that is still listed in the list.

Tomorrow will be 90 days, so maybe tomorrow or Thursday...

It is well over 90 days, it is still listed in the list.   >:(

You can also use http://www.dansdeals.com/go/amexplat and just change the landing url from 25K to 50K.
Time to apply new round credit card. I tried this trick this morning, and I don't see 50K mentioned in the page. Could anyone try to see whether it works for you? I tried on two my computers, it didn't work in either of them.

Applied and instant approved. BTW, my Feb application for the same card is still in the application status list, and I didn't need to call. So it looks like the duplicate check is filtered by both credit card and application date.
