Anyone have any tips for getting a retention bonus?? I have the new Amex gold business card and I called and got completely shot down. I have several AU cards, most of my spend is on fuel, I do spend money on the card, but they have essentially no offers at all. CS rep told me his computer tells him if the account is someone they can pass to retention and when I flat out asked nicely to speak to someone in retention he refused to transfer me. Am I missing something?

While the card itself is best for what I spend the majority of money on, I have a a significant amount of MR points that I haven't used and don't have a firm plan to use at this point. Thinking of jumping to Chase for a year to build my points there.
