I would like to believe that the "excessive AU's" was just an added thing they threw in once they decided to FR.
It's obviously something that comes up on the fr department's radar

I'm sure it is something that jumps out, but not so sure that would be the sole reason.

Although there are a bunch of recent reports that would seem to indicate otherwise

The last few digits on amex au's are different. That's precisely how you are able to get the promo on each au.

I got it, so I could set up its own individual account login and hence get the amex promo.
I was surprised that it had member year as this year, when she got her first amex card and not 13 when I got my first amex card

Or you could add it to an existing login.
Is this the first au you're getting or you just never realized that it's different numbers ?
