I think I got an additional 40k points on my card- I think it was the Columbia Biz school promo which went haywire...2 years free etc with 50k but they originally only posted 10k.

pretty sure I remember something about this from a while back. that people were getting extra points

Oh boy. I opened an AMEX PRG last year and closed it two months ago. What are my chances for this Chanukkah present?

I know a whole bunch of people who churned the MB Plat card didn't get the points. They all got a check for 1k today.
It's a chanukah miracle!

Yep, I just received a $1000 check today which I assume is for a MB Plat I churned after closing one from a few months earlier.  What's odd is I actually did receive the bonus points, they were manually issued after 8 weeks.

ok, so the question is now that we know that they are retroactively paying out from old bonuses that were not awarded, how do u ensure that you get compensated for your points if you havent been already
i would love 2cpp for the 65k mr i never recieved last summer (prg)

Not only are the cc companies screwing themselves, the gov't is screwing them too!

Can't see how $1000 can be a rebate on $500 of spending.

Thankfully, receipt of a 1099 is not contingent on your understanding.
