Holiday Retail - Double MR Points (Nov 1, 2006 - Dec 31, 2006)
Another FT member (singlemalt) just posted this in another thread. Again, as a courtesy to everyone, I'm starting a new thread with a nice clear title.
There is a second "double points" promotion running from November 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. I called AMEX MR customer service and confirmed that you can indeed be enrolled in this promotion even if you already enrolled in the prior "points" and "earnpoints" promotions (which run from October 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006). The agent said that this one applied to Green, Gold, and Platinum cards. Also, i inquired as to the meaning of "retail", and she said pretty much everything except cash advances would fall until that category. https://www109.americanexpress.com/d...=holidayretail Enjoy! |
To give credit where due this offer was first mentioned by monster on November 7...

I'm not having any luck with any of these double promos, tried quite a few links in the various threads and no luck on personal MR gold or Biz Platinum.

So only people with Gold can sign up for both?

anyone know anything about what is eligible? the way it was worded sounded like it was limited to certain things at the various places it said :| |

The reason people are saying to sign up for both if you qualify is that the promotions are mutually exclusive. Thus you will get the bonus points for the one promotion on all purchases and the bonus points on the select categories additionally. Thus for some purchases you will be getting 3 membership rewards points (1mr point for using the card plus up to 2 bonus points depending on if the transaction qualifies for both promos or only the one that has no restrictions).

Excellent, just enrolled in this one as well as enrolling in the other one last week.
(although this one does say it's only open to "solicited Cardmembers only", and I certainly haven't rec'd anything) |
I hope that they do not cancel you out of the previous triple points promotion when you enroll in this one. It has happened before.

It took my Centurion card too. It's been a long, long time since I could sign up a promo on it...

Restaurants, Hotels, and Airline tixs will not, in my opinion, qualify.

True, this is the ONLY one that ever took my Plat card. Also, i inquired as to the meaning of "retail", and she said pretty much everything except cash advances would fall until that category. Uh, I don't doubt what you were told but I think that the agent is clerly wrong. The intent of this promo is to encourage HOLIDAY GIFT BUYING with the AX card. They want people using charge instead of credit. cause Beckles has a special relationship. They want people over extended at the holidays. Restaurants, Hotels, and Airline tixs will not, in my opinion, qualify. ( But what do I know :D those catogories are clearly lodging, transportation and Dining/retail. Thanks for sharing this and that to the OP who you graciously credited. However go figure. my spending will be light, it was not the last 6 months. When I had $7000 monthly bills, I could not get a promo to save my life :mad: Murphys Law. https://www109.americanexpress.com/d...=holidayretail Enjoy! |
How soon after the doubling period do the points actually post in your MR account? This is the first one I qualified for and I'm already planning on spending the points. :)
