There are only a couple of data points if you go back a few pages, but it seems that ST is not refunding any part of the fee.

I'm in the same situation as all of you. I did about 10k a month prior to the change in terms (had been with SunTrust for over 10 years). When confronted with the change in terms, I noted that my annual fee had hit already. Called up to inquire about any (partial) refunds if account were closed but SunTrust does not believe in that I guess. So for now, I'm afraid only two options are to go with the 2k I miles per month or bring my daily balance up to 25k and get up to 4k in miles per month. Pretty worthless either way though.
