I would not count on getting anything after your cancel date. I'm getting ready to call in my cancelation (this is my renewal month.) I jumped to AMX and the Chase Select Priorty Club (HI) Visa. (I did the later as the best option to keep my credit total up for the utilization scoring.)
I've decided that if I really need United Club access I'll spring for three years. I think it works out to about $295 per year that way.
No other realy value to the PP card anymore for me.
FWIW
