5k is for the mass email links.  referral links for sites and blogs are a different game. on approved cards they usually make b/w $80-$200 a card, depending on the card.  the premium cards, such as amex plat, will be at the $200 end.

Ok so i'm in an annoying predicament. Basically i signed up for the plat using dan's link, then called in and told them to note the offer code for 100k. Then i spent 1000 dollars and received my 25k from the origional link. Then i sent a secure message saying that i want the rest of the points as per the code i had noted in my account. I got 25,000 points and here's why: they saw that a few months ago i got 50,000 posted (which was from a previous plat!! But they don't realize that because they dont have the last four digits, they just see the words PLATINUM BONUS)) and they are including that in their cheshbon. I'm not complaining because 50k points is good (actually awesome), but i wish there was a way i could explain to them that i should be getting 50k more because the LAST 50k was from another card that i had churned.

Dear PC,

Please accept my apology for the inconvenience caused to you.

I see that you have been promised that you will be issued 100,000 bonus reward points. We will certainly keep our word on this.

You have been issued 50,000 reward points on 05/04/11 and a further 25,000 reward points were issued on 07/31/11 by the system. (this was from a DIFFERENT platinum)

I have taken care of this matter and issued you 25,000 bonus reward points for the Bonus I.D 5748.

Again we are sorry for your experience when you called us earlier.

Please email me if you need any further assistance.

Sincerely,

Edgar D'Cruz

Calling is much better than SM for this stuff.
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.

Dumb question alert:

What happens to the points after you cancel the card? Do you need to spend or transfer them first?
If you don't care why would you comment?

If you have a different MR card, it stays active, if not you must first transfer.

So would you recommend openning a no annual fee card simultaneously? say amex blue?

Just wanted to shout out a thank you. called about the rewards and plat and getting both offers :)

btw just from my experience the deprtmnt to call is MR not CS. i called CS for both cards they ewre only able to help for the rwrds. called again and said you must apply through the link, i then asked "nicely" if there anything she can do? she called MR and they instantly gave me the offer.

how's he cheating amex more than any blogger than puts up a referral link for the card and then tells people how to get themselves 100k points by signing up for it?  that's exactly what he's doing.

very simple. abuse leads to crackdown. if they get wind that people are making websites like this, they will end it. so the rest of us that get a few every month will not get it in the future.  >:(

i got news for you buddy, dansdeals is a "website like this".   millionmiles blog is a "website like this" and there are many more.  it's only because of "websites like this" that you learnt about the deal in the first place.
