10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

[file51]

So I guess the 10k cap is now implemented.

Maybe for some, but definately not here.

Of the people that had point post this morning...on your transaction record did the points post with a date of 24 Sep ( I have none on that day despite enough spend), or only on dates of 23 Sep and earlier?

Points have posted for both the 23rd and 24th

ROFL that may be a very good point

If nothing else (if still there) her "performance appraisal" this year will be a hoot...

Dear file51 I regret to inform you that we have retrospectively changed the T&Cs of this frequentflyer promotion and through abuse of the system and people threatening to take legal action we are required to introduce a cap on your bonus points award. However, we cannot decide how much this cap will be or when we will give you further information.

Thank you for your understanding

Sucks to be me then....

That is interesting. As I said I received points this morning from the promtion, but looking at the detailed list there are only the normal 1.5 points awarded on the 24th.

So even though I gained points posted this morning, all dates on my transaction account are for 23rd and earlier.

I had received points for each date prior, but not for the 24th despite having enough transactions.

Congrats on the 1000th post file51

Congrats to everyone else for posting and contibuting - whether beneficially or not (maybe including me)

And finally;

Congrats to Amex for offering (IMO) the promotion of the decade - assuming the status quo of earn remains.

Wow, don't log into AFF for 5 days (before yesterday) and look what happens . I've just finished reading from pages 32 (but had to spread it over 2 days)...

My account seems to have become active from 18th (presumably the date I spoke to Amex CS and had my account changed from 20T/10K points to 10T/5K points). All transactions from (and including) that date seem to be eligible transactions (smallest $15). My first 5K bonus points hit my account on 21st September (together with the 10th transaction). Handy to have some regular payments keeping my transactions ticking over. Have had another 5 transactions since, so I just have to make sure I get another 5 to post by 30th before my tranaction count resets. Would hate to be on 9

Nice to see that the comments have softened between posters ...

There is still so much unknown about what will happen with regard to (any) changes to the T&C's and the issue of bonus points being reversed due to Amex reviewing tranactions tha they regard are not in the spirit of the promotion. All of this talk (whilst healthy debate) is mere postulation until we each hear from Amex.

Overall, I still think Amex will be very happy with the increased use of their cards (and their income). Certainly, as a member since 1989, I continue to be happy with Amex and the rewards they offer me for using their card.

Now if only I could get my 18 month old a supplementary card and get her to use it...but I'm sure she'd only put it in her mouth .

OK - another reference point - since my last bonus points were added, I have had 6 further transactions. This gives me a total of 26 transactions since I signed up to the promo.

I have had no Promo points post since 21 Sep when I hit 20 transactions.

At this point one of two things is happening - either bonus points may or may not be being posted in 8-10 weeks or I have been moved onto the lower rate promos 5K/10trans. So my next promo point under this will be in four transactions time - some time n Friday.

If I get a 5K/10 trans bonus at 30 trans or 10k/20 trans bonus at 40 trans then I will give them a call as I signed up for the more profitable promo. If I get no more bonuses once I pass through 30 trans or 40 trans I will then wait 8 weeks to see what happens and request my no limits 5k/5 trans bonuses as advertised by them with the associated terms and conditions.

I will keep monitoring this thread to see what other experiences people have.
