Weird you happened to have triggered your bonus on all 4sign ups with refundables from hotels.com?

You won't get the points.


I had on 20k spend, 2k or so accidentally refunded and then made up, and did not get the points that they took away.

I booked refundable hotel stays, but hotels.com ended up canceling them before I had a chance to. Amex had awarded me the signup bonus points but then took them back because hotels.com had canceled. I later used the card for other expenses and met the spend threshold. Some Amex reps told me that since I already received the points once I won't get them again, while others said that I will get the points again but it can take 6-8 weeks. Has anyone had an experience like this?
Side question, why did they cancel them?

That just means you weren't diligent.

I heard a similar story from a friend. Don't remember details, but he fought for months and finally someone credited him.

Love people who -1 posts and (i) don't even understand the post with which  they're disagreeing and (ii) don't know what they're talking about. But, hey, they're your (lost) points.
