However, I have heard (rather read on flyertalk) stories that after cancellation all the miles accumulated by using AMEX were retracted upon cancellation. Any beef to these stories?!?!?! Has someone experienced this?
This is true. Have them transfer all your points in Membership Rewards to Aeroplan or other FFP before you cancel your card.
