Amex still does pro-rated refunds for downgrades correct? One reason I was considering to keep it until renewal is to get the 50K free night certificate but from my reading it sounds like you'll only get the 50k free night certificate if you hold the luxury card 8-12 weeks after AF is billed (I was likely going to downgrade when AF hits).

Anyone care to share their thoughts on the best course of action?

Thanks!
I downgraded the card within a month after AF posting, got almost full refund of AF and the 50K free night still posted about 8 weeks after the AF was billed.
