Just wanted to post an SM success I just experienced.

A bit after my 90 days of the MB card past, I called to see what exactly is up with my 50k points.
I was shocked to hear from the Rep. that I only spent $976!  I must have miscalculated my spending.

Anyhow, by now it was too late to rectify, so I discussed with the rep. how this was obviously a genuine mistake etc etc.
So he said he'll ask a supervisor, he did but was rejected.  He then went higher up and asked a manger, and I was rejected again.  You can imagine how upset I was after that.. This would be my second Amex Plat. (see my previous Plat. story here) w/o getting the bonus?!  I can't let this happen.
So I took Dan's long-time advice and a day or two after making sure to spend more and thereby surpass more than the $1k minimum spend, I sent an SM pleading with them to understand the obvious mistake that I made, and to please grant a one-time courtesy to a loyal Amex cardholder like Galitzyaner bla bla..

Less than an hour later, I received the response!

"Dear Galitzyaner,

I do understand your concern regarding the sign up offer of 50,000 bonus points.

We do appreciate your membership and therefore, I've issued 50,000 points to your Mercedes-Benz Platinum Card ending in **** towards the sign up offer.

Now, you have 50,000 available points and *** pending points.

I hope my action meets with your approval, and I appreciate the opportunity to be of service.

I want you to know that you are a valued Cardmember for us and we will never want you upset with our services.

Have a great day!

Sincerely,   
**** ****

Why calculate it when AMEX does it for you?  Under "Statements & Activity", change time period to "Year to Date", scroll to the bottom, and subtract your Credits from Charges.  When in doubt, verify with AMEX that you've met the threshold.

when canceling the card thru sm, can i at the same time ask for the annual fee credit or need to do it separately?
and will i lose the pending points?

Yes you can ask in the same SM.  You will probably lose the points that haven't posted to your MR account.  If you have no other cards enrolled in the same MR program, you will likely lose all of your points in the program.

I think that is a link to the benefits for a regular Platinum card. When I opened the MB app and clicked on "Review Card Benefits" it didn't mention the airline credit. Is there any other way to confirm?

Is my word enough?

[lechaim2life]

Wouldv'e liked to see Amex confirmation but a Dansdeals Presidential Platinum Elite's word is the next best thing

[Ergel]

Oy
Although he is correct on this occasion

when you enroll an airline and get a confirmation email is that enough!
