This is very bad news. I have had the card along with most others on this thread for nearly 5 years ..:-(

I was just about to book a few tickets on EK using the card.

I have neither got a letter or an email ( maybe it is on the way )
​​​​​​
Does anyone know if I will get the skywards miles (4x spend ) if I book EK tickets over the next few days using the Amex version ( Travel is only in late august /early september ).It might be a 5 k spend would have been worth 20k miles )

Also if the card stops working after July 20th will it affect me while travelling ( tickets booked with a card which is not valid at the time of travel )


The other annoying bit is that I live offshore to the UK and most credit card companies do not like addresses outside the UK .

Getting other AMEX cards might be an issue :-(. I do have a SPG AMEX but it is not that great..:-(

This was not a problem when this card was issued initially but they have started declining applications over the last few years.
