Last year on my wife's bp card she got an offer by mail to enroll in 'pay over time' and receive 10k mr just for the enrollment.
The past few months I had few representatives offering me to enroll on my bp without the 10k offer, so I politely declined until yesterday that finnaly the representative mentioned the 10k mr offer. I gladly accepted.
Don't accept it until you receive the 10k offer.
was anyone targeted for this offer for accounts that are less than 12 months old?
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Thanks, but still not much data to confirm. Also someone mentioned buying a Southwest ticket for close to $100 and canceling within 24 hours works, and no claw back, anyone tried?

any adverse affect of downgrading plat w/in a year when no points left in acct?
I understand that clawback on upg bonus is eminent, but does it hurt for MR to be in the negative? will it flag acct?

Seems like a new benefit for the amex business platinum...not sure if it’s worth anything ... you can use menwbershop reward points to upgrade your flight. Check it out @Dan

Reports that Delta e-gift cards are no longer working for airline credit. Anyone have recent experience? Seems like they’re coding as “GC” in the last week or so.

How were they purchased? Mobile? Desktop?

So nothing works for the airline credit ? I mean GCs or buying cheap tickets etc? I got another card in June and was not in a rush to buy SW GCs , any other airline still works?

Having a major issue. Booked a hotel through American Express travel yesterday in israel with Cash and points. Decided within an hour to cancel the reservation. Amex only wanted to give me back half of everything. I was able to get  my points back but they are giving me a really hard time getting back my money (a significant amount). Please help!
