I called into AMEX a couple of weeks ago as I am one of those whose anniversary date is August 1. The CSR informed me I would be receiving the free night in August as any anniversary date in August qualifies. I have not yet had the free night post yet (I haven't had my July 25 statement points post either). Whether or not I renew this card is based on receiving the free night. I will post if and when my free night posts but would appreciate if someone else sees their free night post to also post this datapoint.
