One thing you haven't looked at: Does amex know what TIME you did stuff? It surely doesn't have a time in your statement. So does amex see it all as just 'on the day' or what time too? Cuz my MR stuff does get sorted randomly each time I login, suggesting it's not time based.
;)

Weird.

My ff account today says "3 Oct ... 25% membership bonus points x,000", and adds 25% of the 5k/5t bonuses that hit my ff account yesterday. But there's no bonus on anything I transferred from amex to the ff account in September.
Maybe the i.t programmers are sending your points to me. Thank you and keep em coming.

Incidentally I can't see any poc on my amex account. Is it attached to some tab/link, or in plain sight on the accout summary

Hi, Vet,

So u have an AMEX QF Credit Card? Points directly to your FF account instead of your MR account?

Odd..mine is Plat Charge Card, no points at all from 1st of OCT.
 
paul4471, whilst they say in the T&C's:

Why was the offer made to some Cardmembers and not others?

This year we have made a significant effort to increase the number of businesses where American Express Cards are welcomed. The purpose of the offer was to encourage Cardmembers to spend with these businesses.

Cardmembers were selected based on:
Where they live – in areas where we had signed the most businesses
How often they use their Card – the offer was structured an incentive on a Cardmembers current and likely use.
It is common practice for American Express and other organisations to target offers at specific customers.

when one thinks about the number of (eligible for this promotion) Amex cardholders in Australia, I'd be intrigued to know what percentage were selected (and then what percentage actally signed up :D:D;)) .

I'm glad this promo came around for another reason - I've been meaning to transfer my points to AA for ages but hadn't got around to doing it, so this proved to be my filip - I was able to transfer 270K points through SPG to AA. They are just starting to hit my AAccount and this will certainly help my Lifetime bAAlance.

I'm sure that everybody is also starting to receive the email from Qantas FF headed: Important changes for transferring card points to Qantas Frequent Flyer. I can see all my points heading for AA (as well as my flights, a decision I made about a month ago)
 
Would any one can figure out what POC means.

My guess is Promotion On Cap?

P i guess either promotion or points.

O ???

C ???
 
If you are that interested, why not simply ring up MR and ask...that will stop 100 posts with smart answers :D

BTW, no transactions posted to my MR account, but considering I have only done 1 (by phone last night), then that's highly likely. no change to the normal 50% bonus

However, tonight should mean a couple on the way home for the essentials
 
grrr.

registered for all pre 20th and had 15k points removed!!!

i did receive a card. but not sure where stand....

_update_

called MR they are retro fitting people to the card they received if they got one.. if they didnt get a card it doesnt matter, they just get the first promo they registered for and retain the promo they got regardless of pre or post the 20th (that dates only confirms the capping)

if you registered for all 3 your first one is the one that will apply (if you didnt receive a card) if you did receive a card you will ONLY get the points you were targeted for.. so for me thats the 10k points per 20 trans... and because i was pre 20th its unlimited.

Thats all folks.. NOT happy that people who werent targeted get a better deal than i do.. :/ thats how the cookie crumbles!

A blue one. It wasn't used for yonks, was expiring, and the new card was late (and was lost in the post it seems). Blue is the new black??
 
Oh no!
Got 10K deducted from my account.

Was sitting on 20K bonus points for September.
Did not receive postcard, did over 40 transactions in second half of Sept since promo began, registered for all 3...... so even if they put me on the 10K for 20 transactions (the first one I registered for), I should have 20K for Sept.

:evil::evil::evil:

PS Signed up on 18th.

When exactly did you register? Post-September 20?
 
Having been previously stripped of my 2 additional promos (I assume) and having points deducted (but also returned!), nothing has occurred on my account today bar the usual points posting process.
 
wtf

I have just had 40,000 points taken out.


03/10/2008 Group - POC Low engaged V203/10/2008 Group - POC High engaged V2

I signed up 18 Sept, no card. I had a total of 55,000 previously.
I also signed up to another reward on 19th, however rang 10 mins later and deleted it and confirmed I was left on 5/5000.

Will ring them tomorrow if it doesn't reset overnight.
 
It may also be a pertinent time (if not already done) to use the "Print" button in Membership Rewards transactions screen.

It expands all transactions (showing bonuses posting etc) and goes back many pages - which should cover most if not all of this transaction for many users.
 
Case:
no postcard, signed up 10k/20tx then 5k/10tx, then 5k/5tx offer all before 19 Sept. Rang call centre to remove the first two on 19 Sept

Result:
14000 points removed

your points balance today is: 0

:(

Where do you find the:

??
Is it under the MR listing page where you see the 5,000 pt bonus previously?
