The $95 fee should hit in mid-September. The agent stated there was a 60 day grace period, which surprised me, because previously, they only offered pro rata refunds i.e., no grace period. I did not cancel during that call, but will cancel before the September billing because I may still have some use for the AMEX offers, such as the Sam's Club $20 for $20. Otherwise can't justify paying $95 a year when I'm already paying $95 on the Chase Sapphire Preferred.
When does the 60 days start running? From the date the statement cuts with AF or from the date AF is due?
