American Express Gives Me $200 for Delta Skymiles
Sorry if this has come up before, but I did a search and couldn't find anything...
Today I received a check for $200 from American Express saying they're reimbursing me for the value of Delta Skymiles they were unable to apply to my account. I'm a bit puzzled because:
1. I closed this credit card account over 18 months ago.
2. I received all the Skymiles I was supposed to receive. Maybe AE didn't apply my last statement's earned points to Skymiles and I missed that, but there is no way I earned $200 worth of Skymiles in one billing cycle.
3. The letter does not say how many Skymiles I earned that this check is for.
I'm certainly not complaining since I'd rather have the $200 anyway. The best thing I've received in the mail in ages!

I received a letter the other day saying I was getting a statement credit, my card is active, for the same reason and noticed the $200 posted. I went back and cannot find where I didn't receive any mileage credit, so I'm not sure what time period they are talking about, but I won't complain.

$200 worth of miles would be more than one long haul trip.

We received two $200 checks today (one for me, one for wife). However, they were both related to unreimbursed Starwood points. This thread is the only thing on the internet I could find about it. No idea why we got these but they are related to closed SPG Amex accounts.

Just got a letter offering me a $200 check for miles they couldn't post despite all miles being posted... Weird but I'll take it!
