Several people (1, 2, 3) have now received the bonus even though they didn’t receive a targeted e-mail/snail mail. It’s entirely possible that the targeted letter is still on the way, but it seems as if if the 10,000 point offer shows up for you you’ll get the 10,000 points regardless of whether you received the targeted communication or not. You can try these links:
Because of this I’ve updated the title from Targeted to YMMV.
The Offer
No Direct Link (see our verdict section as to why)
- American Express are currently offering selected charge cardholders 10,000 points when they enroll Extended Payment Option
The Fine Print
- Email subject line is ‘You Qualify for a Flexible Payment Option’. People also being targeted via snail mail.
Our Verdict
There are direct links for this offer, but what usually happens is that if you weren’t targeted it will sometimes let you register but then you won’t receive the 10,000 points. The downside to this of course is that you’re now enrolled in pay over time without the 10,000 points and you now have no chance of being targeted for the 10,000 point offer. I’d love to hear from readers if this is their experience or not. If you want you can try these links anyway:
If you have any questions about Pay Over Time (e.g hard/soft pull) I’d recommend reading through our F.A.Q on the topic found here. You don’t actually need to use the pay over time feature to get the 10,000 bonus points, you must simply enroll in it.
