I got my November allocation of 10,000 points on cue last Friday (I'm one of the unlucky ones, only on 10K/20T) so have now got my October and November points. One more lot to go and that's it.
However, I notice that my bonus came with the 21st Australian transaction this time, not the 20th as happened in October. I had a couple of Paypal transactions and even though I am with Paypal Australia, they are still done in US dollars etc. so they don't count.
But I did have 2 transactions at Safeway on the same day one after the other. HOWEVER, one was in the supermarket and one was in the attached Safeway Liquor store, so there was no way to avoid 2 transactions. When I looked at the detail on my online statement, both transactions showed up as "Groceries" which is incorrect!
Members have speculated here umpteen times about multiple transactions with the same vendor on the same day and whether they are being checked. Maybe I am just being paranoid but on the face of it, looks like one of my Safeway transactions might have been denied! Lucky I had done an extra tx this month to cover it.
Good luck to all the people who are gearing up for a possible fight with Amex in the next few days if the points they are owed don't post. Going to be interesting reading the forum from here on in, I guess.
