current promotions with amex
i have decided to use my amex card exclusively for all day to day purchases.
does anyone know of any current promotions for double membership points or even triple that i could sign up for such as grocery store, gas stations etc etc
I always see promotions for the Delta Amex but not often for platinum american express..

Yeah, they gypped me out of a 15K upgrade bonus, and now there is a targeted 50K bonus for signing up for a Gold and spending $1K (WOW! :rollseyes
Oh well, the Plat benefits are a good value for me.
It does kind of make me think I'll be like others on FT and get a Gold again sometime in the future for point earning.
Although I think I'm going to be using my new SPG card a lot too.

Don't think CENT cardholders get any promotions relating to EARNING POINTS either. And very rarely get them for CONVERTING points to whatever (and then not because of being CENT cardholder but because AMEX makes some reduced converion promotion available to all MR members).
Point - as made in previous posts, AMEX always makes it easy to avoid their charge card most of the time...weak MR program....losing partners chronically over many, many years...never any promotions for pLAT or CENT meanwhile GOLD and basic GREEN get double point opportunity promotions seems like quarterly.
Curious way to run a business and dump on one's [presumably] best customers.
