(Only 46 more posts and you too could update the Wiki with a list . Maybe if you offered to provide that community service a Mod would allow you to update the Wiki even though you have fewer than the required 90 posts. Or maybe if you wrote the list and PM it to a Mod (or me if that's within the rules) it could be updated that way.)

It certainly does not include all the data points. Most people didn't bother to update the Wiki, they just posted in the thread what they didn't or didn't get and that's it.

Is it possible for people to include how much spend they put on the card as well?

Bonvoy Business amex - no retention offer again this year. But I think I will still keep it for the free night and the 15 nights credit.

Unless someone is going to mind the wiki and compile datapoints...

Personal Platinum for 2 years, no other retention offer in the past on this card - offered 30k points for 3k spend.
To add more value and because you are such a valued Card Member, you can earn 30,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $3000 or more on purchases on your Platinum Card account within 3 months of accepting this offer. The 30,000 Membership Rewards® points will be credited to your account 8 to 12 weeks after the purchase requirement has been met. This is our way of saying thank you for keeping your Platinum Card account open today.

Moderator observation
Before the Wikipost feature was created (~2012), it was common for the poster who started the thread to maintain a list in post #1. This can be a burdensome responsibility because only the Original Poster (or a moderator) can edit the post. The Wikipost method is better because many posters can edit, even though some cannot. This thread will be restarted in January, and I will include a reminder to list offers in the Wikipost.

Any risk of claw-back on a retention bonus - story is I pre-paid for a hotel awhile ago, hit the minimum spend with other spending (and stopped spending at end of Oct), the retention bonus posted to my account. Paid bill. Currently have a zero balance. Just stayed at the hotel and was hoping to pay the rest with another card but they couldn't do it so they reversed the first charge from beginning of October. With the reversed charge, I believe I'm under the minimum spend but I also believe I'm outside the window for the retention offer (and I don't use the card so it won't get organic spend on it in the near future).
Thoughts? Reach out to AMEX or just hope it doesn't register?
