American Express Membership Rewards - Cancel an Amex before or after the next app?

PRG annual fee is going to hit next month and plan to drop it.

Been hoping the SPG summer bonus rears its head before then...
Either way, the PRG must go away. What looks better to Amex, close the PRG before the new app or after?
~ ie, does it matter??

I ask because I dont know Amex as well as chase.
Thanks.

I would say it does not matter.

k, thanks.

Geez Amex, slow down. Darn folks there just sent over 2 personal and one biz invites for the delta cards. This with my interest in the SPG and a 2nd platinum, just makes it all so unfair of them. :p
