I tend to agree with this: http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/74834#comment-1246773

They likely figured they have signed up all the businesses they could over the past 5 years and that there's not much left. If they start losing merchants maybe we'll see a return next year.

If this were about abuse it would be easy as pie to limit this to primary cards only.
What benefits would make it worthwhile for merchants other than having customers come in droves or lowering the fees year-round ?

AMEX customers spend more on average.

Yes, but Amex customers tend to also have visa and mastercard.  Albeit without 99 AUs.

It is clear from the get go how much Amex is willing to pay for sbs as registration has a limit. Not like they are eliminating sbs by zip code.

The merchants still not accepting amex are well aware of that.

Or they could have set a smaller limit or limited to 1 per primary or even 1 per SSN...

Who says they're savvy enough to know that the people spend twice as much on AMEX as MC/Visa.

The studies are out there. I just can't imagine what amex has left to offer them that would change their mind.

Also, speaking for my company only, you would be surprised what is/isn't "easy as pie" when it comes to making certain changes.

So your bank makes rash decisions without looking at the analytical behind it?

Don't offer your bridges, you'll sell out too quickly.
All these excuses were offered before AMEX stopped churning as well. That wasn't abuse either, until it was.
People see what they want to see. It's hard to see clearly when you've got stacks of greenbacks in the way.

Maybe if we all secure message Amex from all of our cards, they'll change their mind.

I just sent 673 secure messages, for each of my AUs.  That ought to help.

It is a good thing Amex would never monitor a site like this to see what is going on.  :P

They're well aware. Reps & even higher-ups have mentioned it & then gladly given out more.
