Never waited exactly 13 months, always just texted them a few weeks after AF hits. (which is around end of october)

I also had the Amex Schwab Platinum this year, but the retention offer was 20K points for $2K spend. Interesting because I had $10k spend in this card.

Question:
  • Can you get multiple retention offers for different cards the same year? or is it one retention offer per account per year?
  • Does overall spend across cards affect retention offer elegibility? Or account longevity? I don't understand the algorithm as i've seen people with way more spend get no offers..
My guess is the $150 statement credit isn’t considered a “retention offer” by the system
