Having followed this thread in detail from the very start, it seems to me that people posting in this thread have finally been beaten into submission by American Express. Am I wrong?
Here is the evidence for my tentative conclusion:
1) Several posts implying (and in at least one occasion explicitly stating) that the poster will accept whichever of the promos that Amex determines they should be on;
2) At least one comment (and others that appear to be the same in spirit) that the poster will now happily accept any bonus that Amex grants them;
3) Apparently unanimous acceptance that Amex has the right to remove people from multiple promotions without providing oral or written notice (notwithstanding that several [most?] multiple sign-ups have been POCed);
4) Evidence of people self-limiting themselves to transactions that they think Amex will approve of, despite the very wide net cast by the original term 'transaction' and even the more recent qualification of 'everyday'; and
5) No one yet challenging this logic.
Comments?
Beaten into submission, hardly...
No one yet challenging this logic? (I suggest you read back about 10-20 pages).
I registered as per the offer I recieved, I have since been provided in writing from Amex that I am capped, even though they have records of attempted registrations on the 19th & 20th, then finally having it go through on the 21st.
As per what I consider to be correct complaint protocol, I spoke to someone at Amex, nothing came of that, I then wrote to them with supporting evidence (screenshots, copy of mailout, names and times of people spoken to at Amex when registering, etc), again nothing except confirmation that the points are capped.
It was then referred to the ACCC who have now escalated things to the ABSO for investigation and potential prosecution as retrospective changes to a contract (i.e. T&C) is illegal, both at a state level (NSW where I reside) and under federal law.
I would say this challenges just sitting back and doing nothing....
