Are these bonuses for using the dining program? What are the terms of the promotion?

Moderator action

Moved to HHonors section because the offers will (apparently) not be relevant to Membership Rewards. I am not persuaded there is any benefit to pre-announcing an offer with no substantive detail, but defer to the HHonors moderators who can leave or close the thread.

I was thinking of cancelling, trying to build up my AA miles; this is great news. Maybe this is why they are doing it, I would imagine a decent number of us have switched our spending to Advantage cards.

I have switched most of my $$$ to AA this year, due to the 1.5 miles per $ promos that have been in effect with Citi most of this year.

I still put the 6 HH points per $ merchants to Surpass.

Both programs are not looking so hot right now in terms of the value of their respective currencies (no Diamond Force for normal rates on HH; reduced availability of international J/F awards on AA.)

Great! Looking forward to getting more information come October 1st.

Some may remember, HHonnors AMEX used to give 5 points for restaurants (3 was standard and 5 was the max), and then when they went to 3pt/6pt structure, restaurant merchants were dropped from that group. So it makes sense to bring them back in and created this "added benefit".

Cheers,

PedroNY

Is this some sort of joke like the Q4 promo?

Thanks for posting this, but how do you know about it? Not that I'd ever doubt anything I read here on FT or the interweb, but I'm still curious.

And if it does prove true, I wonder whether this could partly be to cushion the blow of the changes coming to the HH program. Or am I mixing apples and oranges here?

Terms of the promotion? I don't buy that I can just click something and get 25,000 HH points because Amex likes me.

Sounds like something to fight other cards' Q4 5% category (Chase Freedom has Dinning and Department Stores for Q4. Not sure about Citi and Discover, but they are usually similar)

Would be nice if they make it permanent.

Definitely won't turn m down if they want to give m to me but it seems they'd expect at least something in return. Guess we'll find out...
