Unfortunately, I (perhaps stupidly) accepted a very late retention offer last year on 2/26/23. So I backtracked on the cancelation because I have to keep the card open at least for another few weeks to keep the points I earned, at which time I will probably downgrade to green for a pro rated refund and then cancel it. Need to learn how to time retention offers better.
