American Express Membership Rewards - American Express E-mailed me very interesting

Dear American Express Small Business Cardmember:

American Express needs YOUR feedback. We would like you to take part in a brief survey about the features and benefits you receive from American Express as a Small Business Cardmember. Your participation will provide us with valuable feedback and help determine future types of features and benefits businesses like yours receive from American Express.



Please no rants and raves ive read it all. But make a list for me and help me out and ill take this survey for all of us here.

What card do you have and what does it ask about?

I got the same email (re Delta Skymiles Gold business card) and decdied it probably was't an ID theft scam, so I proceeded to the questionaire. After spending around ten minutes on this I got a screen which advised me that they were looking for a different demographic for their survey and that I would not get to participate or get the measly ten bucks offered.

Apparently, Amex has no problem with wasting its cardholders time with phoney requests and promises. :mad: Forewarned is forearmed.! :)

Below is the start of the email I got. Note how the YOUR is in caps. But, it doesn't apparently apply to ME. Even though the marketing idiots sent me the email. :confused: Don't waste you time on this. :td:

I got the email, took the survey, and wasted my time! I got the same response about them going after a different demographic AFTER I answered a bunch of questions. Way to cheat me out of $10 AMEX!

thanks i sure wont

Standard practice with market research firm. If you had Q then there would have been even more questions.

I've been involved with market research over the years. And, a good rule is don't tick off your good customers doing it. This sure ticked me off.

Why send the email if I am not going to qualify. It's not as though Amex knows nothing about its customers.
