I received an email from American Express on Jan 31 that said,
Confirmed: your Airline Bonus benefit maximum has been increased. Congratulations! Because you spent at least $1MM in 2017, the number of Membership Rewards® points you can get back with your Airline Bonus benefit in 2018 has increased from 500,000 to 1,000,000. So, when you use Pay with Points for all or part of an eligible fare, you can get 35% of those points back — now up to 1,000,000 in 2018.
Terms and Conditions 1. Limited Time Airline Bonus Points Offer: With the Airline Bonus benefit: if you have $1 million and less than $3 million in eligible spend on your Business Platinum Card in calendar year 2017, you can get up to 1 million bonus points back in 2018, and if you have $3 million or more in eligible spend in 2017, you can get up to 3 million bonus points back in 2018.
The T&C are unfair to me, as I spent over $6.5 Million across 3 Plat cards. They are dis-incentivizing me to use my Amex cards in 2018 for more than $1MM. I have now cut back dramatically in 2018 on my Amex spend. I'm trying to send them a message. Anyone else in this same boat?
