Need Help with My Lost Points on AMEX
« on: October 22, 2023, 11:55:24 AM »
Without realizing it, I reached the maximum annual spend for the 5% Amazon rewards category on my Amex Business Amazon card. Consequently, I stopped earning 5x points for several months on $70,000 worth of purchases. Is there a contact at American Express with whom I can discuss the possibility of receiving a courtesy reimbursement for these points?

Clickbait twisting of story facts.

Nothing “was lost”. Nothing “needs reimbursement”.

You used the wrong card. You didn’t get the envisioned rewards.


But anything is possible with the right account / service rep.

It's amazing how gleeful you are to highlight someone's loss. The question was quite simple: do you know how I can get a courtesy reimbursement? Your response was far from helpful, to say the least.

Not gleeful at all. I legitimately feel bad for you. My point is to show how the BG's strategy of BC deals can cost real money, not just opportunity cost; I've posted about this a couple times already.

Ok, thanks for clarifying.
