My prg Amex statement showed the amazon payments as not being eligible for MR points. Anyone else experience this ?

I had some AP transactions on an Amex Gold Biz card that coded as "shipping" for extra points - I forget if it was 2x or 3x. But that was just a few, then it stopped.

Oh i was meaning to ask, how did you figure this out? my Amex statements don't tell me which purchases earn what point?
Show points summary, GO TO MEMBERSHIP REWARDS, (if you have more than 1 card) choose an account, Activity Detail |

For years I have been going my CC -> My AP -> friends AP -> Cash.
Would it be "safe" for that friend to also start sending me the same in reverse, from the same pair of accounts? Or is this a no-no. (I want to double my spoils, and I added him as an AU on my account).

I have read that you should not try to reverse the flow of the jungle river.
OP, it's a bit riskier than I like to do, but there are plenty of people who have done it with no problem. Mike |

It's great that everyone tries to be careful with AP, but has there ever been an actual report of AP closing down an account for doing the stuff we do? I don't think so.
Or an Amex FR that seemed directly related to an AP transaction? Or a documented case of points not posting for an AP transaction not coded as "Cash Advance?" I think it's been going pretty swimmingly so far, the pirannas have stayed pretty far away. |
Indeed AP has closed/suspended accounts.
AMEX FRs are more about account usage analytics. But adverse publicity and retailer requests can get the cardinals motivated to find heretics to use as a renewable energy source. No reports here on Cash Advances...

It's the 25th of the month.
Does anyone else feel like Christmas is only 6 days away? Does anyone stay up past midnight on the last day of the month? |

I don't even know what time zone AP is in - but I'm sure it's not mine. I'm out on Atlantic time.
