No it isn't.
If more people come to realize that they didn't meet the spend req, that gives other people comfort

I think you found your answer.
Now please don't file any CFBP complaints.
why not? I'm entitled to the points.  The he credit and airline credit are counted as spend.

The first rep I spoke to even confirmed that with me.

Closed. Ameriprise platinum. Closed. Offer was 5000 points for staying +15k for spending 3k. When I was given the offer they said if I don't keep it they will take the points back!

For a company that's apparently trying to cut costs, they're without a doubt blowing a ton of money on looking into accounts for clawbacks.

I just got AF on ameriprise. A centurion would've been cheaper.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Actually not sure what's going on? My points are still in the account. Basically my ameriprise statement isn't showing the points, but my Amex account is showing the points.

Did it post to your account after the statement printed ?
No. Posted beforehand. But for some reason the statement says how many points I had by 7/31 which is before the bonus posted
