Targetted - Double MR points for 6 months

Received a letter from Amex today basically asking why I hadn't used my Amex Gold for ages and requesting that I use it more as it's a great card to have.

Duh, the answer is that it was converted into a Plat card around 2 years ago

Anyways, they offered me double MR points for the next 6 months after I register with them. There was a form to post/fax back to them to register, which only contains unique identifying codes. So nothing I can pass on to assist others in registering really.

Will be interesting to see what happens with bonus points, or whether I get an "oops" letter in the mail eventually

Wow, so I wonder if you buy some gift cards Mal whether you'll score 22 points per dollar. Or whether it's base points only.

Thinking of trying that myself.... need to wait a couple of days to make sure the registration sticks, and perhaps a small test purchase

Re: Targetted - Double MR points for 6 months

I guess I am spending too much on my Amex card to be targetted for this

Re: Targetted - Double MR points for 6 months

Well I've made a couple of purchases since I registered for the promo (sent fax back)... just the run of the mill 1.5x points for my Plat Purchases.

Havn't tried anything with my Qantas card, but doubt that would have had the bonus applied as it's not in Ascent or any of the similar award programs.

Will keep monitoring!

Re: Targetted - Double MR points for 6 months

Still only receiving the normal points, so obviously they don't want me getting the bonus

No letter back from Amex telling me registration was unsuccessful, so maybe they do think I have a Gold Card somewhere in the system!

Re: Targetted - Double MR points for 6 months

My husband was targetted the year before as he was using my maximiser card, so his spend dropped. Deal was 5000 bonus points for $5K spend. As his Amex was 1pt per dollar the actual benefit to us was 2500 pts. He did the spend but getting the points was a pain in the butt.
It took over 3 months, 3 very long phone calls and 2 faxed copies of the offer to finally get the points.
