I am leery to apply for another Amex card unless I can be re-assured that it is easy to cancel before the second year begins and they try to assess a $85 (yikes!) fee.
I just "canceled" that card after using it for a year. I was billed the $85 fee this January, but when I called to cancel they refunded the fee and begged me to keep the card. Weird because I only used the card to get the 10,000 miles and to charge Costco purchases. But no problem to cancel.
I'm using a Starwood Preferred Guest Platinum AmEx this year. It's ugly (understated?) but works really well. One year free, with $30 the second year I think.
