So i went into the freehold mercedes benz with my 100$ cert and although they were pretty snobby to me they had a decent selection.

I got a ok pair of cufflinks (good quality, mediocre design) for 18.00 which i would value at about 15.00

I got a coffee thermos (nothing special) for 25.00 which i would value at about 5.00

And lastly i got a leather bound notebook(nice if you like that sort of thing) for 49.00 which i would value at 35.00

plus 6.48 tax
=98.44

thanks amex.

I bet those items are all MB branded, do they have anything that isn't?

nope! but certain things arn't very obvious, like the cufflinks only have it written on the back and the notebook just had it embossed (very small) on the bottom corner

does the 450 count towards the spend?

how come on the platinum regular i did the spend and the points didnt post? does it really take 6 to 8 weeks like they claim?

Avid Reader · « **Reply #147 on:** January 04, 2012, 11:20:12 PM »

They usually stay in pending mode for one or two billing cycles. But you can call membership rewards and ask them to accelerate the points and make them available to you immediately. I just did that today.

The $1k spend posted yesterday. The $200 airline charge was part of the $1k.
Points posted today

I hope they aren't snobby when I go use my $100 Mercedes Cert, otherwise I will give them a piece of my mind!

shnu · « **Reply #150 on:** January 05, 2012, 10:40:48 PM »

the points are not even pending?

Idid the 200$ spend twice in dec. and jan. and they both counted toward 1000$

This would seemingly cement that the $200 credit counts toward the $1,000 spend.

You need to do the spend and pay it back as well as pay the annual fee. Then the points should be pending.

I had that happen too, but only with one out of the handful of cards I'm managing for people.
I've been told more the once by MR that after the payments clear they'll accelerate the points.

Happened for me on both my plats, guess I'm lucky

I still never got the $200 airline credit for for buying gc's in Dec (luckily I got the refund from AA). I'm not going to buy them again in Jan. Has anyone gotten the credit on MB plat?
