It does, however, seem that you have to contact them to get action.
They are working on it.. and taking action on the spot. And still no posting of your $100 Amex credit.

Seems like more time is wasted trying to get Amex to fulfill their end of the bargain, then its worth.

I ended up not charging my 3rd Amex for the $100 promo. Sometimes maxing out on a deal gets me brain damage. I just don't have the stomach to follow up as diligently as you guys on the $100 credit.
