I called last month (with about 2 months to go before renewal) to cancel. The rep told me not to cancel as I was due some bonus miles. Sure enough, 2000 bonus miles soon appeared.
Also, received the mailing for 5000 bonus miles if I spend $2000 in Oct,Nov,Dec.
Probably just going to cancel. Too many cards!
