Wrong word choice, but same effect from the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing . Note: I am not an attorney.
I would say that if one sued Amex for bad faith, one would not likely get very far but one would not get laughed out of court either. Whereas if you sued for breach of fiduciary responsibility, you would get laughed out of the court
In plain English you have fiduciary responsibility if you are acting in an advisory or trust role. If some firm took a fee for advising you to take out an Amex, spend money on an annual fee, make minimum spend because you are "guaranteed" to get a certain amount of points, you might have a case for breach of fiduciary against them.
I am not a lawyer either, but I can read law and basic English.

Agreed. I subscribe to this thread to see if any progress or updates emerge since I havent gotten my 100k yet and waiting till 18th for 8-week period. But now I'm getting updates on a war over a word choice...

My apologies !
My apologies to you also. It's obvious I have too much spare time on my hands here in Greece

I just received a targeted offer for 50K MR points after spending $5K in 3 months for the Amex Gold Business. It's not a very tempting offer considering the redemption options with the MR cards compared to the Sapphire Preferred and Bold Ink. Have there been any better offers out there lately? I managed to clean house with the Gold 75K and Platinum 100K (plus over 150K for referring +15 friends for the Gold card). All those points went to CO but I'm not sure what I would do with another 50K. I guess I would be happy with gift cards.
