Yes, but if you have an SM saying you'll get the points then you just need to talk to the right people and you'll get the points.
Besides you don't need to sue for anything if your state's attorney general is worth his salt.

I have an SM from Emma Maxwell Account Manager Email Servicing Team saying that I am eligible for the promo and that I will receive the points.

So who do I need to talk to?  ???

Common people, we all knew this would not last forever. This was the best deal in the history of points and it lasted way longer then anyone anticipated. Personally I am shocked that with all the attention this has been getting it was not over months ago! So instead of looking at how much more we could have got we should focus on what we did get and be happy. :)

Oh please. I don't care what bandwagon you're on, if a company promises something, especially something like this, they should follow through on that promise.

Don't promise what you can't (or don't intend to) deliver.

I was specifically told by a supervisor that they will give points if promised and written in notes. I know other people were told differently but I would suggest you keep on trying.

Usually they respond to me under 10 Hours, Its been over 16 Hours and no answer, So I am guessing they are weighting there options to see if they will honor the promise

Or, they've been flooded with messages to honor their commitment.


On a side note I almost applied for my wife for the PRG to have it matched and that day I received an offer in the mail for 75k so of course I used  the mail offer...

saw on the dansdeals comments on this card offer someone suggested that dan should set up a petition where all of us who are having difficulty getting the promised points could sign up and this will pressure american express to give everyone their points.  i really think it would work.  let me know if you plan on doing it

Yes, I did happen to see you post that comment and then another comment (unapproved) left by you under a 3rd name giving your thumbs up to your previous comment.

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.

As I stated earlier, I'm confident that everyone will get the points AMEX promised them as long as they are asking the right people.
No need for silly petitions.

Does this only apply to bonuses promised over SM, or even over the phone?

The same thing just happened with my platinum. When I called last week regarding my gold card the lady said I only see the platinum code for 100k and now they say no notation.
I said you have calls recorded you can pull it up.
Any ideas? They wont honor anything now.

I tried membership rewards, who is "the right person"?
