In mid-June I applied for a Premier Rewards Gold card using a targeted 50k/$2k/Fee Waived offer. I have had this card before, but the offer did not include the exclusion language. Today, I received an email reminding me of the terms of the bonus, and I think this is the first time I have received such.
I recently applied for the exact same deal on the PRG. I have had the card before too. I don't remember getting an email reminding me of the terms. I applied in late May. I have done the spend and the points posted a couple of days later. That was my 4th Amex card in the last 12 months and my 7th in the past 24. I currently have 6 amex cards and other than upgrading my business gold to a platinum when the annual fee comes due, I am planning to leave Amex as is for awhile. I do put spend on the cards(not manufactured spend) but I don't want to push my luck.
