New Amex statement credits

[33kft]

Although this for Amex USA, it’s alarming to think they could easily adopt a similar approach here if implemented, that would certainly be the final nail in the coffin supporting an April account cancellation for me.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I am ok with this. It's just Amex enforcing their T&Cs imho. I know that psychologically, seeing a credit to an account followed by a debit in the event of T&C violation is more jarring than not getting a published cashback, but it is effectively the same.

Amex detected a T&C violation and reversed the excess credit. This was quite a few months ago now and no sign that they are going back any further historically to enforce this.

I would not feel intrinsically different about this treatment than I would if I purchased something with the promise of bonus points and then did not receive them due to not following the T&Cs to the letter, personally.

I wasn't aware you weren't supposed to use the same offer on multiple cards, especially given they allow you to register them all.

Wow, saw this and instantly read the existing offers still available on my account. Currently all of them say one credit "per card" so if you have multiple cards, I think it's still fine and not breaking the T&Cs.

From that link though, just looking at that term only and not the full terms, it says per "card member" so I think that would mean for example, I can't use my Charge and Reserve and get credit for both but my supplementary card holders can?
If it said "per account" then I would worry as that would mean supplementary card holders won't be eligible. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's how I read it so far.

I think it would definitely depend on whether the "Limit of X per Card Member" was actually in the T&Cs. I've had a look at some of the offers I've seen and it doesn't really appear like we have that wording in the current offers. Even the lucrative Shop Small offer is "per card". Maybe they will change this in the future, but currently it doesn't seem as if it's a problem for Australian card members.

It's a pretty good lesson in reading the T&Cs, and not assuming that because it's gone through to the keeper in the past, doesn't mean that the status quo will be maintained moving forward.

Same.

I now have a hugely negative mindset with amez in terms of them reducing/eliminating/making difficult at every opportunity .

Seems there is no good news

Chin up. It hasnt happened here (and won't unless they change their T&Cs). Make hay while the sun is shining

You guys are such pessimists, if it says once per card it's once per card. If they try and renege we have a strong ombudsman to take care of our interests. This is not America!

Gotcha. Agreed that is not as good.

 

[Happy Dude]

Max enrollments reached!

 

[Dr Ralph]

Max enrollments reached!

Wow. Exceptionally quick. AMEX benefits have been wound right back.

Fewer cash back offers that are less generous and many people who will miss out!

I'd have been angry to have missed out on this because the subscription limit was reached in just a few hours.

 

[foggy]

wow, 20k enrolments gone just like that! the power of ozB. Amex was pretty good with informing me of this promo, received the email 8:37am

 

[andye]

Not on App
Told myself to Amexconnect
Hesitated
Lost!

 

[MathNerd]

Wow, can't believe I missed out. I think they stopped accepting enrolments before the 20,000 limit was reached.

... Or there's people running scripts to save offers to multiple cards with one click?
