Nope!

Reconsider, Read some liter-ature on the subject!!

I believe it has to be within 30 or 60 days of the annual fee posting.

Plus no spenditure on the card as well. A whole ton of requirements

Yes! I just downgraded from a platinum to a normal BA Amex and got the pro-rata fee back. Not sure if it a UK thing only... worth giving Amex a call!
