I find that (At least in Canada) they don't usually refund the fees (Pro-Rated) in the first year. They will refund them in year 2 or later.
If you tell them that you upgraded to Platinum when you call to cancel you have a better chance of getting some of your $$$ back. Or they may let you keep the Gold without fees.
Good Luck.
