No, but I gave it try (Dutch FB AMEX Platinum). I complained about the devaluation, as I'll be loosing the level miles through AF/KL purchases (the 60 XP's I'll get in the future are a fart in the air compared to what I used to earn on level miles).
I said for me there is much less value for the card thus they should reduce the fee. They said there is no intention to do anything like that but that they are expecting some enhancements in the first quarter of 2018. Also, they confirmed many card holders are complaining. Let's hope for the best.
