I asked him to email me the details as I do not believe they will just give out the miles if I use the card. The guy said there is nothing to email, I just have to agree to "enroll" and they will give me the miles. I am too skeptical and turned it down. Anyone else get such a call?
Not from Amex, but from Citibank, actually. I have the AA MC, and was offered 1000 Aadvantage miles on each month where I had any activity on the card, for twelve months. I was suspicious, so I said I'd call the number on the back of the card. The man said he understood, and gave me the offer code. I called the number on the back of my card, provided the offer code to the CSR, and I started getting the miles. I've about five months left of this offer.
