Double MR for AMEX Gold - Sept 1 - Oct 31
 

I didn't see this posted, so I thought I'd come out of my cave and post:

Link to Registration

The question now is, do we get double points for all other spending (outside of the supermarkets, drugstores, etc.?). I think it does, it just restricts the 'double' points to one additional point for those that already have 2 points/$.

thanks! enrolled

:(

Targeted Offer
 

Thanks for the thought but I tried this link and was rejected. It's came back as "for solicited cardmembers only". :(

It's also not valid for a regular gold card enrolled in Membership Rewards. It appears to be targeted at a very small audience.

no luck here either

no way ........ :td: :mad:

It worked for someone I know.

It worked for me guys.

Worked for me.

Man, why is it that I am never eligible for any single promotion

:mad:

Maybe it's time to cancel this card

Are my MR points protected by having them linked to a corporate card?

The green card has the same promotion:

https://www109.americanexpress.com/d...ype=greenbonus

I wasn't targeted (at least I don't remember getting anything on it), but I tried it and it worked for me - got an e-mail confirmation.

What I've found more than a few times in the past is that if you change the card color/type in a promotion page's URL, you can get a corresponding promotion for other types of cards.

Green registration worked for me!
 

Worked for me too.

First post in the AMEX forum too!

Presumably then you mst have that other card too, or will it register the cart that was originally declined?

No, I don't have the gold card - just the green one, which I registered. Whenever I find an Amex promo (even for a card I don't have), I'll play with the URL to see if my other cards work (also have Starwood, HH and DL plat cards). It worked before (see post #6 in this thread):
