Avoid paying amex point reinstatement fee
FYI: Amex has an unwritten rule that if you do a lot of charging on their card they will reinstate at no charge points that had been forfeited in any particular month.

You don't even have to charge that much. Just call and ask and they do it once or twice. Don't make a habit of it and you can keep doing it. Make a habit of it and they'll charge you the fee.

Question
So, if you have several months (one here, one there) of forfeited points, will one reinstatement fee cover all months, or do you have to pay the fee for each month?

they want the fee for every month now
and amex will not refund the free if they refunded the fee for a late payment
so one or the other it seems?
