May be, in which case I would expect to get that in writing instead of generic answers which don't really address my inquiry. I know that in the past I got credits for two different cards, and so did many other people. Also, since I got a $60 credit so far this year, and now I'm fighting for a $140 refund, in the worst case they should offer a $80 credit.

I agree you should get a better response, and it surprises me you didn't by using the secure messaging system. I've always had great luck through that avenue.

>>>>>Also, does anyone else have experience with the business app. getting miles if you are a personal cardholder?
On behalf of my wife, she got a Business cc on Oct '06. Then I applied on her behalf for a personal card late Feb '07. I was somehow expecting the dreaded letter but she did get the 21k bonus miles!
Now I have a personal CC and have been thinking about applying for a business card...Based on my wife's experience I think the chances are good. I will let you know if I do and what happens...may not be for a while.

Yes, the point of my post was to report that the secure messaging system is no longer as reliable as it used to be. I got lightning fast replies, but I infer from them that the person replying didn't really understand my question.

I'm not looking to get a refund on more than one MP Visa. I am, however, still hoping that someone who is not a first-timer with the card will share a recent ('07, not '06) experience so we may know about the 5K of EQM with the first $1 charged with a new Platinum card. Is that enrollment 5K of EQM now being treated as a "once-in-a-lifetime" bonus, as the CSRs say, or are they still giving out seconds on it (and thirds, and fourths...)?

In the end, it did work out this time as well, though it took three messages. I worded my third e-mail in such a way that they were not able to respond vagaries about annual fees being nonrefundable. I got a quick message saying that my inquiry had been "forwarded to the appropriate department", and one day later I got a new message saying that the $140 annual fee had been waived ^ .
