My situation is more complex. I placed
two orders in rapid succession, which posted
with 10 days. After reading further of the
uses of the miles I placed another one (now 3).
Then, I found other ways to use additional miles and then really stepped it up to 22 (not normally a large transaction for me, but I forgot-didn't remember-the large aquisition of equipment for the business was about to post on the same card.
Let me say this...AMEX is wierd, which only compicated things for me. (those who have a biz AMEX and unusually large expeditures in any given month, multiplied by $1300 or so of mail order/internet subscriptions can profess.)All within the same billing cycle.
So, I called AMEX back and got a nice CSR
in Future Spending (embarassing) Department,
who said the charge was referred (not declined)and no real reason for this was available.
But, the CSR did say that a charge like this, and it's
subsequent "referral",considering my prior monthly purchases, was not uncommon.
Coupled with the fact that IF's mail servers were down. I can only say, it may take a while to figure all of this out.
So, 25 x 2500 = 62,500 + 15,000= 72,500
or in Quantas miles =ya da ya da....
I am too tired, take from here boys (and girls!)
