I don't care about the copyright date. If this was real, a heck of a lot more than 2 people on flyertalk and other sites would be posting about it

But, let's say you are correct. Are you going to go after them? What are you going to say? Hey, let me back in and keep doing what I was doing in clear violations of the T&Cs of the program? Let me know how it turns out.

What's the magic number of posts you need in order to be convinced?

Not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure the terms and conditions allow them to shut it down whenever they want.

This has nothing to do with filing a SAR. There's no indication or reason to believe Amex finds this behavior suspicious or criminal. It's simply behavior that cuts into their profitability.

I don't see how it would be a violation in this case, since the "e-mail" says nothing about filing a SAR.

If they don't use flyertalk, they use other sites of which would pick up and share. There is no magic number, but there is no rate of flow occurring here

I don't think the number matters much from Target/Amex point of view, $900 vs $938.74. They can easily see the uneven numbers add to $5000. But, if I wanted to use my Chase Sapphire card, then I would want the charges to look as legit as possible and not $800, $750, $1000, etc.. Those numbers could very much look like gift cards or cash loads which are not eligible for bonus categories on most cards' T&Cs.
