Reduction in Amex lounge benefits

[HMcM]

Was this also the case last year? I seem to recall the dining credits were supposed to end in December 2025 before being extended into 2026.

By ~September that definitely wasn't the case. I can't talk to if it was before then.

Is it correct that if you cancel your card mid-year you will get a pro-rata refund of the membership fee?

has anyone tried to cancel halfway through their year after these benefit reductions and managed to get any refund of the annual fee? or maybe a discount on the fee for the upcoming year?

not sure whether i should keep my card for the remainder of the year or just cancel now and get to churn it faster in 18 months. but then again amex is very strict with churning and not sure my chances of getting approved next time...
