Amex offer codes for Gold Premier / Gold Biz bonus match 50K - 75K - 100K MR points with min. spending requirements

Quote from dbl118 : Well I just wrapped up part 1 (getting the points). All 3 of us received both the personal and business, for a whopping total of 525K. We all got the personal easy, but struggled with the business, but an investigation worked quickly for 2 people, and a followup call after the investigation worked for me. I don't know if it was luck, or I followed the steps closer. I only once mentioned the BBB, and that didn't help since that letter was ignored. So what to do with the points now?

Wow what a surprise I finally got my 100k points for 6608! Called MR about once a month since getting the card back in late August. Kept getting the runaround with each call, and then finally the "investigation" after being told I wasn't targeted for the offer. However instead of the rejection letter, I end up getting a letter in the mail telling me that my 100k points were credited. Go AMEX!

It is my understanding that between six and eight weeks AFTER the bill is paid youshould get the credit. I will be at the 8 week mark this coming Friday. No points so far, Originally I was told at the six week mark. I called last week and they said wait a week or two. Called this past Friday and was told to wait till next Friday. Seriously annoying.

So I called again and got the runaround about waiting till 10 weeks was up. I was seriously peeved. Then she said they would do an investigation about the issue that would take...wait for it....10 more days. At this point I began telling the rep that there was no excuse is this. I expect this type of behavior from Bank of America, not American Express and that's why I don't do ANY business with BoA. Then she went into this sob story about how their offer codes were leaked on the internet and people in foreign countries were taking advantage of AmEx. GASP! Foreigners! Oh the nerve! :rollseyes: But I got nowhere with her.

I am aware that I wasn't snail mail targeted. But what angers me is the first rep I spoke with back in August told me that he noted my account and all I had to to was meet the spending requirements and I would get the 100k rewards in six weeks. He didn't not say "six weeks, a phone call back, seven weeks, a phone call back, eight weeks, a phone call back, an investigation, two emails and two headaches" which is what it took.

I am not sure if they want to see if you're persistent or if you get angry or what but they got both reactions from me. I threatened to close all my accounts including my personal savings. When I heard back from Ajay (the email rep) today he say he was going to post rewards to my account but they were already there. WTH? Glad they followed through but not happy that it took such a huge bit of my time and attention to get them to do it.

Yes this is exactly the runaround I got too. Kept being told that I needed to wait progressively longer periods of time - then finally got the "investigation" explanation. I had pretty much written off my chances of getting the points by now. But after the investigation I did get the points. I was not snail mail targeted either. Good luck.

Turns out buying 142 ($25) gap gift cards was the answer. If anybody else is sitting around on your points, hurry on over. 178000 points= ~$3000 after gap cards---->plastic jungle with special 50% off sale on gap cards.

Nice find. Too bad it's out of stock already.

I thought you would be going to Plastic Jungle to sell the giftcards that you bought with your Rewards on the Amex site. What will you do with all those Gap cards? Sell them on eBay?

I'd really appreciate some advice on using points. I've never used plastic jungle.

I got 75,000 points on my Amex Rewards card. I got the card just to get the points but now not sure what to do with them to maximize their value. I thought of just getting a bunch of $50 or $100 Amex giftcards to use on groceries. I've been out of work for three years this month, so every penny counts.

I did try and sell them on plastic jungle. However I got some message saying it wasn't going through...unclear why, maybethey were suspicious I was selling so many. I wrote them 30 hours ago, and no response within 24 hrs. like they say.

If I can't do plastic jungle there are other options. Ebay would be last resort...I'll probably get close to the same price, but more hassle.

You can get amex cards, but be aware that they use up more points to buy. All I want is pure cash, and this was better to get cash than getting amex gift cards...actually about 3 times better with the deal I got.

Ah I misunderstood your previous post. I thought you were saying that plastic jungle had a special 50% off sale on gap cards. But you must mean that you got them for 50% off on the Amex site? And now you are trying to turn them into cash by selling them on Plastic Jungle.

I have over 80k amex points. What's the best way to cash this out?

If you want cash, you can try your luck selling to a vendor. I heard vendors give dollar for dollar amex points. Otherwise, you can buy an airline ticket for someone you know and give them 15% off their ticket. Plastic Jungle gives 87% amazon credit or 83% cash for Home Depot/Nordstrom cards
