Amex Charging within 60 days from opening
« on: May 20, 2011, 10:22:46 AM »
I tried to search if somebody has previously had this issue, so I didn't see anything. I just cancelled my card after 50 days of opening (and after earning on it 150,000 MR points!!! simply). But I saw I was credited only 412.50. I called in and they told me that the 60 days refond is only for cards that weren't used, since this was used I wouldn't get full credit, therefore they reduced one month. I tried arguing and used all DDf tools, but I had no success. Does anyone know, was this all the time, or is it a change of policy?

What! never pay apenny if you don't have to. I just called back the next day and they adjusted it. Didnt refer to the previous conversation just said I see you closed my account but there is a charge that shouldn't be there and she said oh! ok I will adjust that.

BTW how did you get the 150k they gave you an additional 100k instead of 50k?

Chazal says there is a Sheyd named "Chinum" - people are not satisfied unless they get things completely for FREE

By a lot of begging I got twice good will points, one in the amount of 25,000, and one in the amount of 20,000. the rest was just spending.

This is an interesting Shade. Perhaps there's also Sheyd called DD which will explain why some people love DD...

BTW, I did not make this up. I have heard this several times. Most recently, I heard it from R' Yisroel Reisman in one of the motzei shabbos drashos (they are tele-casted all over the globe).

I posted about this topic in the 100000 AMEX Plat thread
The Representative told me the same thing
I sent an SM saying how disappointed I am by the customer service since I was told they pro-rated the refund since I have other cards open with Amex
I told them it doesn't make sense because that is making me regret being an amex customer.
They credited me the full $450 right away
Try an SM with that logic, Good Luck!
it CAN be done!
