In fact, all Amex offers that say "1 additional bonus point" are really 1.5x essntially, not 2x, on the Blue Business Plus card.

Such offers are not necessarily a full 2x either on ED or EDP cards where you got to "20" or "30" that month, either.

Which is why Amex should stop with the "2x" completely and only say "1 additional MR point" and no "X" language at all (unless it's only in an example perhaps).
Agree/ At first when I saw 2x before reading the small prints I was thinking about a total of 4. But the small print said 1 additional pt - so it really is only 3 pts in total. They should just get rid of the "X" language completely in the headline description, just use the more specific "how many" additional points instead.
