Anyone get Bonus starpoints for annual renewal
Just about to hit my 1 year anniversary period with Starwood card, and got 6000 starpoints as thank-you bonus for using the card. anyone else get this. When i called amex, they told me they occasionally give out bonuses to people who use the card and pay on time.

My Starwood card was up for renewal
this summer. I also hold an AmEx Platinum in addition to the Starwood Platinum. I called AmEx to "cancel" my card. I was transferred to the cancellation department where they offered to credit me $20 since I was a valued cardmember. They specifically notes that it was NOT a credit towards my annual fee, but instead was a result of me being a valued customer. My sense is that AmEx doesn't want to get into the habit of waiving fees so they called it a valued cardmember credit. I wasn't offered any points, but I didn't ask either. It seems that experiences vary wildly in this regard.
