There's an offer on my EDP for 5000 MR points for paying the $99 renwal for Amazon Prime. The offer is good until 1/31/2018.  However, my membership isn't set to renew until March.

Is there a way to move my renewal to January?  Like, can I cancel and reinstate it then?  Has anyone done this?

---

I just canceled my existing membership, and then used my PRG to purchase the year membership. I received a notice I'd be refunded for the portion of my previous membership that I hadn't used! 

---

What was the basis for the refund?  Was it prorated based on the time remaining until scheduled renewal?  Had you used your Prime benefits for anything this period?

I meant to post about this a few days ago and forgot. Fortunately mine renews in January so I just changed the billing card. My offer says good until 01/31/2018.

Mine is the same.  That's 11 days before my membership renews.  Argh. I know the intent is to get new Prime members but this irks me.  Going to let Mr and Mrs. Amex know that they're off my Christmas list.

Just noticed that they show my last payment for renewal as Jan 11, 2017 so maybe this will work out after all if I can pay a month ahead of the expiration.

You should be good here is when mine expires although I thought it was good through march, but guess i am wrong.  So January 31st and yours expires he 11th so should be set right for yourself?

It expires on February 11 and the offer for me as well ends on 1/31.  It says I will be billed on 2/11 but also shows that I made my payment last year on 1/11/17 so that makes me think I will be ale to pay a month ahead of the set payment date of 2/11/18.  At least I hope so.  Can't beat an easy 5K MR points as I use Amazon Prime a lot

A little off-topic, but allow me to blow your minds with the Order History Report!

$8,766.92 in 2016 and $5,870.74 YTD so far.

Yes, that's exactly it, it was a prorated refund. The refund went back to my Amazon store card. As soon as I made the new purchase with my PRG, I received an acknowledgement from Amex that I used my offer!
