Bde. Apply for new ssn and change your name?
Nah, it was a botched FR, IRS screwed up and they ended up closing my accounts. Just have to reapply and send in 4506-T to get approved, the worst part is the 30k SPG that I missed out on getting since I couldn't do the spend.

I would say 90% of the people here have more to lose by Amex going over their accounts with a fine tooth comb, than by fighting this out.
I would say not

Didn't any AMEX clawbacks, but DDF Likes were indeed clawed back.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

+1
Is it because you guys hit this offer hard, or because you don't think Amex would do much by reviewing your accounts. Keep in mind this is the new Amex they play by new rules. What if they decide to enforce every one of their T&C going back 7 years?


ETA: I am not saying they will, or even that its likely. It is definitely a possibility though....

If they go back and try to enforce terms from the last decade, the amount of lawsuit's that would hit them....

People were saying the same things about what they did now with staples. Essentially what is the difference between a claw back 3 months after the credit was given and 3 years?

1) Who said it isn't happening ?
2) The latter would affect many more people, but legally it's the same issue.

Terms were different when the Staples AO came out as well. They changed it a month ago.

I for one did not hit hard, as you know many have 99+AU's I only have immediate family with same address,  When i got the credit back it was for a mistake they did, I ended up talking to a supervisor in a dept. I never heard before, can't remember the name, I asked too many questions to understand the new Amex offers, in brief his answer was 1 per card member, not per SSN, for e.g if i had an offer on all my cards, as the primary holder, that once i used that offer on one card, that is the only allowed credit, if i used it on more cards, no credit or reverse charges, and as long as I as the primary used a certain offer, then all AU,s are not eligible for credit. So AU's are no longer useful.
I was the Best,still the Best, and will always be the Best.

Thanks for sharing that. At this point im not sure if its a case of DROPR or not. Even their updated terms indicate that its limited to one per card member. Based on their terms it would be a very difficult argument to make that the primary automatically disqualifies all AU's just because the primary got the offer already...

I have the Amex Marriott offer across 80 cards app. What are the chances I will be successful in getting credit fro all of them? Any suggestions or advice?

Thanks.

I would not do this, it is those with 99 AUs that opened Amex eyes, there is a big chance you'll even be shut down, of course I might be wrong, but I will stay still and wait till more data is available.

Upon further review i only have 57 cards, and its spread over 4 different primary persons and over 4-5 accounts per person. Maximum per primary is 20 cards. Do you still think it's risky?

Thanks for the advice.
