Just wait until you get this notice and call immediately. You won't get billed extra and you don't need to try and figure out anything.
I'm not worried about getting billed extra - I'm trying to keep my Platinum benefits as long as humanly possible without paying an additional, second year fee (and understand when that will be when booking flights now). Are you saying the last day to refund the fee is the day your first statement that includes the fee is due?
