Plus, I've discovered recently, not by personal inquiry, but through comments on this thread and others, that you can't borrow Amex Gold points like you can with the American counterpart..

Interested to know if you called in and were able to assigned another number with a different name to your card? Or is it a speculation on your part? Referring to Canadian AMEX and AE registered in Canada.

It must be different as I tried and it does not work on line as is. I did not call to for explanation. I had the same issues as "ciana".

Since you are willing to pay, why not just go and get $350 worth of Shoppers Gift Cards. You get Shoppers points when you purchase the actual Shoppers Gift Cards and you still get points when you use these Shoppers Gift Cards to purchase items within the store --- so it is double-dipping. Or you can always use the Shoppers Gift Cards and purchase other gift cards available at the store. This way you still get Shoppers points when you purchasing any gift card.

I do not understand the logic here, paying 350 $ but getting only 500 points 50x10 on Optimum card?

I decided not to call in and try to get myAE number de-linked on the MR site so that I could add my husband's number. I would then later need to do this in reverse when I want to again transfer to my account. I decided to leave well enough alone so that I didn't cause myself problems down the road.

After the fact, whatever AE# you give the agent cannot be verified.. they'll transfer the points to the specified AE# you give the agent..
