I've had AMEX Biz Plat the last 2 years. My annual fee just posted on 12/24, going up from $450 to $595, so I'm planning to cancel the card this month. Before canceling, I'd like to take advantage of the $100 Dell credit as well as the $200 airline credit for 2020.
But if I make the purchases and get the credits this week and then cancel the card 2 weeks later to avoid paying the AF, am I risking clawbacks of these credits, or shutdowns of my other AMEX cards, or should I be safe if I've had it open and paid AF the past 2 years?
I know it's not safe to play games with AMEX sign-up bonuses, but I don't see anything in the T&C that would be an issue for using these credits. But considering that they clawed back in November the $9 I made months earlier by stacking the credit with the 10% offer, I'm nervous about their new aggression and don't want to get in trouble with them. Any advice or DP?
