Amex Membership Rewards cant issue Points Anymore
« on: March 01, 2012, 11:37:48 AM »
I spoke to Amex MR they said that they don't have the ability to issue points anymore for bonuses, they have to put in an inquiry to the back office and only they can add points. I'm guessing they took their ability away, since last year too many points were given with all the matching going on.

Its unfortunate that people raped it so they no longer do it. Leave it to the few to ruin things for all.

Few? Hundreds of people started matching, perhaps thousands.

+1 the crackdown started after it got posted to SD and thousands of people started flooding Amex with matching requests.

SD is where deals go to die.
