Annual fee – when added?

[mkdoc]

Getting conflicting advice from Amex and would like to know so I can use my offers before I consider whether to keep the card for another year. I took out the card on 5 April 2023. When will my renewal fee be charged? Thanks 🙂

Does it really matter that much? Pro rata refunds are still in place.

If you paid the fee on the 5th April 2023, then it will be charged around the same date this year.

What was the conflicting advice you received from Amex?

It’ll come in the statement after the April 5th.

Correct. Believe its charged on the last day of the first statement following the anniversary date.
