How many of you guys kept your AMEX PRG after the annual fee?

I have had mine for years.
Don't rely on polling. Determine if the card is beneficial to you.

To be fair, we don't know if the OP was just going to get a total count: to decide "97 do, 114 don't, OK, I'll drop mine" Perhaps hoping for useful answers like "I am keeping mine because of the [awesome little known benefit]" or "No, the new EDP gives me more of the benefits for less"
True but his question simply asks "How many" actually kept the card after AF.
Luckily, American Express charges annual fees on a pro rata basis, so after AF or before AF doesn't really matter. I did not keep my PRG long enough for the AF to hit.
I mainly got mine for the sign up bonus. I have other cards with better rewards and any benefits specific to the PRG I don't utilize so I can't imagine keeping it past the 0 AF period.

This. I used mine as a 'foot in the door' so to speak. It allowed me to get the SPG, which was my goal card. I will be closing the PRG before the AF hits next year.
The MR bonus paid for a 2 week rental of a red convertible mustang while I was in Seattle this summer. That was worth it.

Way to go!
You must have gotten the 50,000 MR bonus
