Are you able to book something on the American website, American Express Travel, for the travel credit?
Also note that flights are completely nonrefundable from the time of booking when you call over the phone.. so much for 24 hour cancellations.. don't make the same mistake I did. Canada's AMEX Platinum travel agency is a goddamn joke.

Is it correct that the annual fee is fully refunded if the card is cancelled within two months of renewal? If yes, then the Canadian Amex Platinum fee can be reduced to $99. Here is how:
1. Get the card in December 2013, pay $699 fee, get $200 travel credit.
2. Get another $200 travel credit in 2014.
3. Get the third $200 travel credit in January 2015 and cancel the card within two month of renewal.
Correct?

Anyone know if the calendar year is based on the booking date or the date the reservation is actually used? For example if I make a booking in 2013 for a car rental in 2014 would that use my 2013 credit or my 2014 credit?

Once 1/1/2014 hits, you lose 2013's $200 credit and only has 2014's $200 credit to use

PTS is just a travel agent, so whether you will book miles or not are still based on the fare class, the carrier, and the FFP.
For hotels and car rental, these are not "Expedia" like rate, so you get full hotel/car upgrade/benefits with your status.
