American Express Reimbursement Checks Sent Out For ‘Technical Error’

Many people have been getting reimbursement checks from American Express for ‘technical errors’. Apparently some credits weren’t posting properly and these checks are to cover that. Some people are getting these checks now and others got them over the past number of weeks.

Got one for ~$60 for a Platinum closed in 2020… I don’t recall missing any credits except possibly the late-posting and never credited Saks when I closed the card (and so I did a return, and no longer expected that credit)… Beyond that you’ve got me stumped. Some Amex Offer that maybe was supposed to double credit? Who knows.

Had an issue with the FHR credit, called many times, began disputes, after months, finally got a supervisor to manually enter the credit–an incredible waste of time.

Now that the regulators are ‘dead’ why would Amex ever willingly do ‘the right thing’ and actually follow their own rules for our benefit–isn’t this a new era of corruption, after all?

They started this process while the regulators were ‘alive’. Refer to the Reddit thread for posts mentioning receiving checks months earlier. And yes, we are in the era of normalizing corruption now.

I never got reimbursed for Uber Eats allowance for February of this year on my gold card. Where is my check?

I am not sure why I got a check as it didn’t really specify but says “you may not have gotten the membership reward points you were entitled to” and listed an account number for a card I don’t have anymore. Check was for around 700$. Happy guy

I had several transactions that were never given cash back on my BBC and BCE cards, so hopefully I see a check soon.

Yesterday I got a check for $52.76 for Biz Plat, no idea what it was for. Funny thing, the check from Amex is a US bank check.

I received one in Jan or Feb for $100+ on a Biz Plat I had closed a few months earlier. I keep track of my cards and credits fairly well, but not with an eagle eye. To my recollection, everything had posted correctly, so it seemed like free money to me (score!), but I can no longer access my online statements to confirm.

And that is why I get paper statements. Cannot be altered after printed even if something happens to my or their computers.

Few weeks back, I got a check for $120. I usually track all the credits, so I’m not sure why I received the check.
