I got the Amex PRG 50,000 MR bonus pts for $2000 spend in 3 mos with $195 fee waived the first year offer, in my online account, but I had a PRG account/MR bonus a few years back. I don’t see any mention of once per lifetime in the offer terms, and I presume this is a targeted offer, so will AMEX honor the bonus?
Also, any DP on United/mileagePlus Amazon GC still working for the once a yr $100 travel reimbursement?

I got 50000/2000 offer through the link but I found some interesting exclusions:

The following charges do NOT count towards the spending requirement: fees or interest charges; purchases of travelers checks; purchases or reloading of prepaid cards; or purchases of other cash equivalents.

That’s always said that, but Amex is fully enforcing it now (for spending requirement / bonus). Had 100k MR clawed back cuz I met spend with a few gift cards.
Was beyond disappointed. 🙁

Shoot, my husband just got the PRG card with a 50k bonus offer … think Amex would match it to 65k if he called and asked? Is Amex nice about matching offers, or not so much?

Amex doesn’t match but they will sometimes award courtesy points (basically the same thing). Always worth trying (call don’t message)

Under the new rules, you could wait 30 days after the annual fee posts and then close the account with a full refund of the annual fee. That is how I interpreted it anyway.

You mean WITHIN 30 days, right? You don’t have to wait exactly 30 days, I assume.

BRG does not have the airline credit.

I’m planning to apply for this as a keeper, but not until grocery stores in my area start selling $500 VGCs again (Blackhawk latest earnings call says they expect most grocery partners to have installed EMV software and selling 500s again by September).

This would be big time. DC/NOVA area is bone dry

Unrelated question. Does the BRG get the $100 credit?

The airline credit? No it doesnt. Only PRG. really sucks.

Historically, you can choose United as your airline and buy a $100 Amazon GC on the MileagePlusX app. It triggers as a United purchase, and Amex will reimburse you the $100 if you preselected United as your airline for that year. (This worked for me back in January 2016).
