Extra $200 in Amex airline credit for AA and US
« on: December 04, 2013, 11:31:38 AM »
I got this email today! on my Platinum card. (not sure about others)


We are writing to give you advance notice of changes to your travel benefits and to remind you about other valuable features of your Platinum Card.

As of March 22, 2014, Platinum Card Members will no longer receive complimentary access to American Airlines® Admirals Club lounges and US Airways® Club locations.
 

 Special Offer: Up to $200 in Statement Credits
 
We recognize the inconvenience this may cause you as someone who travels frequently, so we have included you in a special offer. You will receive up to $200 in statement credits toward American Airlines and US Airways incidental fees charged to your Card from March 22, 2014 to December 31, 2014.1 You can use these credits toward:
 
•   Membership fees in the Admirals Club program and US Airways Club
•   One-day passes to Admirals Club lounges and US Airways Clubs
•   Other American Airlines and US Airways incidental fees like baggage fees or flight change fees
 
There's no enrollment required, and purchases made by both the Basic and Additional Card Members on the Card account are eligible for the promotion. These statement credits are in addition to the $200 Airline Fee Credit2 benefit already included in your Membership.*

SOME FINE PRINT:
This promotion is in addition to the $200 Airline Fee Credit benefit already included on your Card. Promotion is valid between 3/22/2014 and 12/31/2014. Promotion is not transferable. American Express in its sole discretion reserves the right to alter and or terminate this promotion at any time. Statement Credits:

You have to have mushrooms growing on your head to pay $450 for that stinker of a card.
Tell your bosses to make the miles from that card count towards MM like they used to (even just for the first year that you have the card) and you'll have thousands of new applicants.  Maybe you'll even get a promotion.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

175 for 3.

Based on the wording, does each au get the bonus or all cards combine into total of $200?
Always use an Amex, you'll thank me one day.

Does this include the original $200 in airline credit statement as well, to make it $400 for each card?
