So far, I have sent three secure messages re extra 50K for plat, and denied each time.
I then called up twice, the first time csr said no, but after some more talking, he put me on hold to "see what he could do", after a long time the call was dropped (or purposely hung up?).
Called again, spoke to another csr, who again said no, and although polite, refused to budge.
I wonder if they caught on?
Would love to hear if anyone had success after the time of this post.
I sent another secure message about my disappointment at not applying under 100K offer blah blah blah.
The response was very unexpected. CSR basically responded that he went ahead with a full review of my credit card past with AMEX, and saw that this is Plat #2 for me, and being that I got bonus on #1 as well, and that this was also the case with some other flavors as well, so he really technically should take back heaps of points, and I should be happy that he wont actually do that.
I guess that this is not a case of "just keep trying".
