My point is: be careful even if you used the public link, guys. I would not MS on Amex MR cards for the bonus. Common sense goes a long way in this game.
Well then I have MSed way more (and more recently) for sign up bonuses and cross my fingers but I have not been clawed back. So I am not sure what the difference is.
I will take this as the first data point I have seen although based on mine and many other experiences with a grain of salt until it becomes more common.
