Awww, c'mon!!! You just have to follow the bouncing ball.

Jerry postured, and wondered if AMEX was shifting away from the referral programs.

I commented and said (in a mind-numbing way), NO.

Prior to Sep 2:
AMEX Gold: Referral offer was 20K MRs (vs 15K without referral)
AMEX AeroPlus Gold: No bonus by referral, 20K Aeros signup from wherever (inc. GCR)

After Sep 2:
AMEX Gold: No bonus by referral, 25K MRs signup from wherever (inc. GCR)
AMEX AeroPlus Gold: Referral offer is 30K Aeros (vs 20K without referral)

i.e., referral bonus incentives shifted from AMEX Gold to AeroPlus Gold card.

There, did I break serve?
