3000 Membership Rewards Promo with Amex

[mitchja]

Just received a letter this morning from Amex saying that if I activate FlexSelect on my charge card I'll receive 3000 MR points.

Reading the letter FlexSelect means that if I pay for something over £200, I don't have to pay it off all in one go - basically my charge card becomes a credit card with a high APR though!! (the lowest been 17.9%)

I have no intensions of using FlexSelect looking at the APR's but the 3000 MR points will do nicely!!!

Nice one - IIRC, FlexSelect is invitation-only

Yeah AMEX do make me laugh at times - the top of the letter said that 'I was one of their most valued customers'

I spend about £300 a year on my AMEX Gold card

I originally only applied for it to get the bonus 7000 Flying Club miles!!!

I've only had mine about 6 weeks, so even though I've chucked a load of spend on it, I doubt I'll get asked

FlexSelect will not be appearing on Centurion accounts anytime soon.

And it looks like that the VS Card offer is on hold!

Thanks,
Richard

I shreaded the letter when it came the other day teach me to read my mail with more care.

OMG - you mean for once I was actually ahead of the game? [THUD]

I don't know about the offer being closed - Amex have sent me an invitation this morning and I'll certainly accept it and get the 3000 points!

The offer that closed is the amex gold card X4 offer I got the flex select thing through again yesterday this time I read it I will have the 3k miles thank you very much.I wish I could earn those rates of interest.

Amex have now told me I'll have to wait upto 12 weeks to receive the 3000 MR points

[RichardMannion]

The 4x miles offer may have gone but there is still this one:

My 3000 bonus MR points appeared today so they are now on their way to my FC account

[mitchja]

Hat's off to Amex - my 3000 FC miles were deposited into my account today

[Bazz]

Looks like they were 11 weeks inside their (upto) 12 weeks so I guess that's pretty good huh? And an extra 3000 miles is always nice to receive!

[mitchja]

Yeah I wonder if the phone call I made helped things along as I even received a return call telling me the MR points had been credited.

I still havent had the 3000 MR points posted despite 3 phone calls
[:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!]

For anyone who, like me, is still waiting for their 3000 points to appear, a couple of calls to Membership Rewards has elicited the information that:

- a number of people are experiencing this problem
- they are waiting for information from the Marketing Department as to whether the points need to be added manually or if there is some trigger that will credit them to a number of people's accounts all at once.

Mine were credited last week:D

And I'm still waiting . . . .

I received a letter from Amex inviting me to apply for a Gold Card and receive 12000 MR points with my first transaction - bargain! That UCS reward trip edges closer!

After waiting and waiting for the points to appear they now appear to have done so four times over. At least 12,000 points have appeared in my account, and I can't think where else they'd have come from!

shhhhhhhh:D
