That's the policy, but in practice you may receive a refund if you have other card accounts:

Bye Bye pro-rated Annual Fee refunds (USA), September 2016, exceptions reported.

A few more differences:
  • Personal cards appear on your credit report, Business cards do not.
  • Personal Platinum earns 5 points per dollar on airfare, Business cards do not (unless booked through American Express Travel)
  • Business Platinum earns 1.5 points per dollar on individual transactions $5,000+, personal cards do not.
  • Additional Platinum cards on a personal account cost $175/year/3 cards. On a Business account the cost is $300/year/1 card.
