Platinum Sign up bonus points awarded accidentally [Canada]?
I recently signed up for a Platinum Amex in Canada. I used the referral link and was to be given 60,000 pts. When I was confirming this I was told I was signed up to get 50k pts. I then called back to confirm again and was told indeed I was registered under the 60k after spending $3,000.
Last night I checked my MR and was surprised to see I was already at over 50k pts. I didn't expect to be getting the sign up pts for another month. There was a deposit of 50k pts when I purchased a plane ticket 2 days before the end if the first billing cycle. It was given as a bonus of the flight booking. Not something Amex does.
I'm thinking they screwed up and only gave me 50k when it was to be 60k but can't explain the timing of the deposit or logic.
A blessing or a curse?
