I have my annual fee due today and unsure if I have to hold the card looking at the prospects of air travel in the coming months. Did anyone have a luck in any new retention offer if not 200K points. Cheers
$350 offer back on groceries just came out this morningI spoke to AMEX yesterday as my fee is due soon. No offer of anything. I am now leaning towards cancelling the card for now.

I called Amex a month ago when my platinum charge card ticked over into the new year. I basically said I was unable to justify the card fee and was offered 200k points. I used the points to pay (most of) the annual fee. The retention agent was Sydney based and the whole process took about a week or so from the time of the call to using the points to pay.
I also let the agent know that I deducted the annual fee from my monthly bill. Amex then agreed that they would effectively put the fee on hold while the whole process was finalised. I hope this data point helps...
This sounds promising...Asked about a cheeky fee waiver, got nope, but got 200k points.... Full experience and deets in the amex cancellation thread.
Any thoughts on using the Platinum travel credit before cancelling the card?
I was offered a meagre 60000 points.
Thank you, I'm wondering if I can use the 450 credit and then cancel the platinum cardAt this point, I'd say use it on hotels - but I imagine the deals in Aus are quite good atm?
Can you not do a quick trip interstate now that everything's calmed down a bit more?
There are also 'experiences' I think in the Amex travel portal that are sometimes pretty sweet?
Have my annual fee coming up in February. Should I try my luck now or wait until later?
