Author Topic: Receiving 100k business gold promo without being targeted (Read 13332 times)

isaacs · « **on:** July 04, 2011, 01:19:41 PM »

Hi, I applied for the Amex Business Gold card recently with a 75K MR points signup bonus after spending $2000, But I'm a little disappointed because I now see there's an offer for 100K MR points . I feel like I missed out by applying early to the card... I wanted to know if there is a way that I can receive these additional 25K MR points as I consider myself a dedicated member of Amex for a few years already with a perfect history. Thanks in advance. "

Dear *************,

Yes, do not worry. I have made appropriate notation on your new Card so that once you meet the spend criteria of your current Card’s promotion and write back to us, we will honor the bonus ID 6608.

You will receive the bonus points in two parts. The default bonus ID linked to your account will give you a total of 75,000 bonus points for meeting the spend threshold of $2,000 in three months of having the Card. The bonuses will be automatically get credited to your account within 6-8 weeks of meeting this spend criteria. Once it does, write back to us. We will manually issue the balance 25,000 bonus points and match the bonus ID 6608 on your account.

I hope my response resolves your inquiry and leaves a smile on your face. Have a great and safe holiday weekend!

Never heard of bonus ID 6608 and 100k for Business Gold, is it new?

So you made something up and lied to them?

He deleted his response to me where he said he decided to ask for 100k without knowing if it exists for Business Gold.

However the rep came back with the response of ID 6608, something none of us have seen before, so that is interesting.

I've never seen 100k for Business Gold has anyone else? I thought it was 75k for Gold Personal/Business and 100k for Plat Personal/Business.

Interesting. Look @ this respond, why didn't they told me about 100k??

Hello ...........,

It is nice to hear from you and I'm delighted to assist you today.

I have checked and found that the promotion with bonus Id 6499 was rolled out from May 20, 2011 while your account was opened in March 2011.

This is why this promotion was not linked with your account.

However, you will be glad to know that extending the benefits of the promotion with bonus ID 5894, I have issued and expedited the transfer of 75,000 points.

After I have issued and transferred the 75,000 bonus points to your rewards account, the total points available for redemption are 76,016.

I hope I met your expectations.

Have an excellent day ahead!

I just called and got matched to 100k after 2k spend for offer code 6608 on my Business Gold, works

I thought the gold expired this month, or is it the indivdual codes that hold the expiration of the offer? I'm confused on how these amex deals work. I could apply tonight for either platinum or gold because my 5k installment loan will show up tomorrow and I'm sure they won't approve after seeing that.

I don't think there is one.
You can use the link in the OP and then match to 100K.

It's been said before, SM doesn't really work anymore for Amex matching. Gotta call in.
