MR New Online Points Summary (USA)
Looks like AMEX is revamping their website on how they show your points summary. I didn't see this last night, but logged in this morning to check and the page is a completely new design. Only proglem is that it is erroring out and can't display anything other than my pending points. They layout of the page makes it seem like we will see a lot more information on our points, maybe a line item list. Having a transaction by transaction summary of points earned (or at least bonus points earned) would be great to have.
When I put in date ranges before August, I get a message saying 'there is no activity for that period'. Anything after August, and it gives me an error. Looks like they are working out the kinks, or perhaps it will only be able to show detailed info for points posting after the system was put in?

Now it's GONE and back to the old view. Hopefully this is a sign that they are about to roll out a new points summary view that contains a lot more information. I don't know if changing the page was a complete mistake and shouldn't have been done, or if they were testing it out and pulled it when it didn't work.
Edit:
This time it's back, and working. However it doesn't live up to hopes of an itemized list of bonus points. It more or less looks like your paper rewards statement. Who knows, maybe it is a sign of things to come in the future. First rolling out the new user interface, and then itemizing each points postings. One can only hope

I have a bus plat card which I am only and auth user on, and it also isn't showing the full itemized list. It's closing date was July 22.

Free up Credit Line Instantly
I dont know if this is new, but I just noticed it in the last few days. When I make a payment online now it instantly frees up my credit line based on the amount of the payment. For my SPG Biz card I have a rather large credit line so it does not matter as much for me, but many people complain about the low credit line they get from Amex. Previously it took 24-48 hours I thought while the payment was pending to free up the credit line. Maybe this is not new, but I just noticed it.

Also, as with the other poster, my MR summary has reverted back to the old format.

I guess I never noticed it. Whenever I made a payment it always waited until the payment posted to my transactions (24-48 hours) to free up the CL I had thought. Maybe I am just mistake.

At least we got a taste of things to come. I've always been annoyed that the both the online statement and the paper statement does not break down which transactions earned bonus points. And judging by how accurately my FF miles and hotel points post I am sure that I've missed some bonuses here and there, and I don't want to take the time to individually track all my spending/bonuses myself.
