Enjoy 1 Bonus Point with every $2 you spend

Not sure whether I was targetted but I have been trying to load the website all night without success. I suspect it is something to do with Windows Vista and/or 3 mobile broadband. I will try again at work tomorrow.

Same here. That may be the "diplomatic" response to those who weren't targetted.

I'm not important enough (to be targetted according to Amex). Received a polite refusal as well

I'm in the out crowd too.

Clearly being "good" earns one no brownie points with amex.. lesson learned..

Windows Vista Business and 3 Mobile broadband are a total waste of time. The webpage loaded up instantaneously at work and apparently I was targetted.

Thank you. You are now registered for the promotion listed below

I have saved the webpage and also printed a hard copy. I don't expect many bonus MR points but any is better than none....

It seems to be targetted to those who are subject to an amex imposed points per dollar decrease from midnight on 30 march 2009.

I got the letter and postcard as well - funny thing was when my wife expressed surprise that:

(a) they would have another promo so soon after the last one
(b) that I got invited again
(3) that meant we were going to be predominately spending on Amex again. "Of course" was the answer.

Interesting that the second headline in the letter said "The Analysis of frequentflyer . com . au". Well done for getting involved admin, I'm sure that this will increase traffic to the site.

Yes, not as generous as the last one (well, what could match it - I doubt there ever will be one as generous as the previous one). At 0.5 points/$1 is smart - they are looking for bigger dollar transactions.

Logged on, signed up and got the nice response "Thank you. You are now registered for the promotion"

Like many, I'll earn some points, but I won't overspend merely to get points - just what the budget dictates I need to spend.

I've got a Platinum Credit Card, so not points per dollar decrease that I'm aware of on it (just an ability to transfer to Qantas decrease). Maybe they're targeting members who had transferred to Qantas reguarly? I don't think any of us are going to find out the reasons why in a hurry though (just glad to be included on this one).

Just an ordinary Amex Gold card here at 1:1 unless the bonus offer is for the Qantas Premium card I hardly use.

Have never transferred out any points from MR.

The selection criteria for who receives a promotion have always been sketchy and I can't see that changing anytime soon....
