Question: Anyone has...

It's not churning they're worried about. They're looking for ways to not issue the bonus. It could be because you bought a gift card, money order or any other cash equivalent.
Sometimes "leaked"...

Yea that's really what I'm not understanding about these new AMEX provisions: they have a lifetime bonus restriction on their offers, how are people churning??

Basically gives them more time to analyze your purchases to make sure you're not doing any manufactured spending. Their reward abuse team (RAT) is looking for that block of cheese and they suspect...

Yeah, and I wasn't denying that it's not a good deal for you. Read my response before this to understand what I mean.
Last year they offered the same bonus so while this is a better deal than...

That's the point. The baseline opportunity cost is 2%. If you're already using the SPG card as your daily spend card for all non-bonus, non-minimum spend then you're good to go. If not, then you need...

The regular 10,000 points you'd earn on $10,000 are worth more than $200 to me. YMMV

Well, you still get points on the card for your 10k spend, so I think it's 1 point for every $1 spent, so you'll have 45k points at the end of it all. It's still a great deal larger spend than it...

A warning for those thinking of MS-ing the initial spend requirement in order to get the bonus. Do your research on the latest changes AMEX has made to its policies.
