Personal Plat. AMEX member for almost 20yrs...First year with plat, spent around $35k..waited 3 weeks after $450 posted. Immediately offered me $300 or 30k, told them ive seen offers of that for guys that spent $3-4k got the same. Asked for $400/40k, said they couldnt then said well meet in the middle nothing again. Took the 30k in points over the $300 obviously with it worth more.
