FYI - was thinking of canceling my SPG Amex since I now use Chase Sapphire, don't travel with SPG as much and the hike in fee to $95. I called up SPG to cancel and they promptly offered me 10k points to not cancel right now. I accepted the offer and was told I can keep the points even if I decide to cancel before my renewal fee posts in October.

Similar experiences with SPG re: cancellations or was this agent full of it?
