How long until Amex claws back those points for some made up reason? Wouldn’t waste my time and money with any of their promos, their are safer deals.

If Amex is trying to rival the Chase Reserve card and THIS is the best they can do then I am sure eventually Marriott will pull the SPG card from Amex and rebrand with Chase, too. Pitiful.

If that is the only change Amex is making to compete with Chase, then their whole Marketing team needs a refresh!
