Any dp regarding amex prg retention offers? Its my 1st year(fee waived) and had gotten 50K sign up bonus, signed up in Aug ’16.
Is it possible to get retention via SM rather than calling in?
Whats the miminum most OFFER that amex usually give?
Thanks

I called today as my Ink Plus was up for the annual fee. Asked for any retention offer. Got $95 statement credit, no strings to keep using the card (I’ve spent maybe $25-30k in the past year). Total time: 2 minutes. 🙂

No. Just general purpose business expenses. I doubt more than 4-5k was at the 5x level. It would have been a lot higher if I hadn’t shifted spending to meet the minimums on a couple dozen new cards last year. 🙂

I didn’t MS a penny on that card last year. To max out the $50k at 5x would be worth maybe $800 after fees. Not worth the trouble.
