No exceptions, guess thats what I get for not worrying about it. Over 50 card bonuses over the years, first miss.....
Be warned if you didnt know this already since Ive seen "yes" and "no" to this question so far. Its definitely a no, this does not count toward Amex min spend. Is what it is, but they also tried to hassle me for a Gift Card Mall purchase but couldnt prove it was for a giftcard. That part is a WHOLE different can of worms.
This is clearly written in the Wiki and well known. Sorry for your loss. Some folks also try to avoid loading with CCs due to the concerns of getting shutdowns.
