Amex is a little ridiculous.

I signed up for the platinum card a couple of years ago to get 100,000 points (140,000 Avios now with a bonus transfer).

Then I got the Everyday (the no-fee version) for 25,000 more points so I could cancel the platinum.

Instead I then got a further 40,000 points as a retention bonus.

And now they're going to give me yet 10,000 more points to sign up for Extended Pay (which I'll never even use)?

(It looks as though the $35K limit is the default, by the way. No credit pull.)

So that's 140,000 Avios miles and 75,000 Amex points in all -- just for signing up.

UPDATE: The 10,000 points posted on July 18, i.e., in just two business days. That's fast.
