That's why they offer Wal-Mart and XM radio, LOL.

Seriously nothing would please Amex more than to have spoilage on the credits. They are out to maximize revenue, and do so by collecting $695 up front. Moreover I would be Amex collects a fee from the merchant on these promo credits, especially the ones that are limited to a specific merchant like Equinox.
