Also saw someone got 280k for complaining about Accor changes here

For all we know they are putting millions & millions in yearly spend through their Amex Card.

Apples and Oranges.

Just tried my luck - my annual fee posted end September. Asked whether fee was refundable (yes, until end October) and then said I wished to cancel due to 1) devaluation of MR points and 2) loss of Amazon benefit. Amex staff was in complete agreement with me that the card had taken a substantial hit in terms of value and I asked him whether there were any redemption offers open to me to stay on. He said he'd have a look and see but unfortunately no go.

What's so frustrating about this for me is that I canceled my BA Avios subscription (that was taken out at the initial offering price it will cost more if I want to rejoin) in April because I thought I'll be earning Avios at a decent rate on my AMEX and therefore wouldn't need the sub anymore.
