I don't see what the big deal is though. Would I prefer to get my points sooner? Of course. But I saw this card as "gravy" after they had previously made the Biz Gold card off unattractive (i.e. raise annual fee, no FYF).
If I have any beef with Amex, it's the SPG card. It's totally lame @ 10k points bonus and no FYF.
+1 ^^
Exactly! What's all the fuss about NOT getting the points right away? I don't like it either, but in the past few years I've rarely read of anyone NOT getting their points,
eventually, and I'm sure we would have seen more people complaining if that were the case. Even if it takes 3 months to get the points (as was the case with my wife's Aeroplan Plus Gold card), Amex eventually came through AND tossed in some 'forgiveness' points as well!
Anyway, why is there so much discussion of the Amex issues here, and not at the Churning Amex thread?? I've just posted my recent
'missing points' story there.
