Can you offer any assistance in correcting this since I haven't even received or activated my card so I can receive an additional 50,000 points? Thank you for any help you can provide.
Best,
I sent this to "MR points balance". I don't have a charge card but I do have an SPG card. I'm thinking of re-sending in a few days hoping for more luck. What are the magic words that you guys used? I think I'm the only one in this thread that got turned away. This was on my Dad's card (doesn't live in the US anymore so credit history is irrelevant) and I was hoping that if this went through I would do mine too.
