I sent the following email to Amex this morning thru the secured message site:
Hello,
I have been an Amex Gold member for a few months now, and I understand that new applicants for the card are being offered 25,000 MR points (
https://www304.americanexpress.com/personal-card-application/premier-rewards-gold-card/40185-305-0/0/0/0/n/) after $1000 of spend. This very generous offer was not available when I applied for the card, and I respectfully ask that you consider my request to receive some portion of the current offer.
With kind regards,
regalhome
I got the following response about an hour and a half later:
Good Morning regalhome,
I understand your concern regarding the points and will be glad to assist you today.
I apologize that the offer you advised me of was not available when you applied for your Card. I have reviewed your account records and see that for your promotion you were awarded 15,000 points on 8/23/2010.
As an exception due to your history with us, I have issued your account with 10,000 points on 2/9/2011. You now have 29,286 available points.
It has been a pleasure to serve you and I hope I continue to provide you with the excellent customer service you deserve. Thank you for your loyal membership since 2004. Have a great day !
Sincerely, Margaret Maggs Email Servicing Team American Express Interactive Services
