Title said it all ..

I had almost $50 of rewards expire on July 31 and sent an email Monday requesting they be reinstated. Reason I cited were consistant quarterly redemptions of at least 1 reward and sometimes 2 and a long time member who is active in the program. I also said I would be able to redeem again on Aug 12.

I received an email today reinstating the $$$$. It's not in the account yet, but they said it might take a few days.

So, if you lost a bunch of $$$ write to them - mostly likely they will reinstate. This is the second time they did it for me since instituting the ridiculous policy.
