Called to transfer all my points to CO and had her borrow 30k which would be covered by the 30k I was promised. I told her I would only borrow the 30k if I would for sure get them. She had no problem notating my account that if the 30k were not given to me then I would not have to pay back the 30k that I borrowed. After she did the transfer she said she opened a ticket to have the points credited and a couple days later my balance went from -29,432 to 432
She did say that my original note was very strongly worded that if the points were not posted automatically then they would be credited manually...
I've heard that approach has worked a couple of times, i.e. people borrowing points on the promise of future bonuses. Seems to squeeze AMEX that much harder...
