Amex triple miles offer June/July

Just had a letter from amex 3x miles for June/July at all the major supermarkets and petrol forecourts,anyone else get this?

Mine arrived this morning. Also 1000 bonus points for taking out a free supplementary platinum card.

Which card is this for, the Platinum?
Just rang them and they knew nothing about it, havn't had a letter either.

My card's Platinum.

How bizzare.

I hardley ever get any letter from Amex, only bills.
Although I did get the nice brochure of all the posh hotels!

Dean

my card is a platinum, always amazes me that AMEX always send the offers through late like this started on 1st June and I get the offer on the 9th[:(!]

Still nothing. Is this the bog standard Platinum card. wonder if they send it out to people who only spend a certain level. Do you all regulary get mail updates on offers ect?

Dean

I get a few offers through each month but I have not used the amex card at all for about 15 months as I have been using the FCCC for the better mileage earning.

My hubby and I have separate Amex Platinum card accounts and I got the mailing and he didn't.

In the past we have had 2 mailings for other offers.

We spend about the same amount on each card each month.

£275 per annum for 2 platinum cards I think upto 5 others gold or green,1 priority pass(fully paid for member pay for additional guests) & full travel insurance for all card holders and kids not a bad deal at all even if the card is never used

Yep thats the one I have. I got them to order my Mum some flowers the other day which was fun!
Just rang them up asking why i never get mailings and they said I'm set up to receive them yet find it bizzare never had anything in three months.

Dean

Well the offer is correct 3x miles have been credited to my MR account for June.

Nothing sent through to me either, but then saying that it takes over a week for my statement to arrive from the printers in Fort Lauderdale! And that is with the 14 day payment window ticking!!!

Thanks,
Richard

My statements always come from Fort Lauderdale strange.Maybe the offer was triggered as I hadn't used the card for a long time.well its taken some hammer now:)

Just got my statement and even though the miles don't show up on it, I checked online and sure enough triple miles

I have never noticed the time scale for payment before but my statement arrived from Fort Lauderdale this morning 9th July and payment is due by 19th July.

The MR points transfer seems to have speeded up since the last time I did it, changed my VSFC number on the amex system and the first lot of points took about a week, transfered somemore yesterday with the system showing my correct VSFC number and they hit my account this morning WOW.

The postal statement/payment cycle really gets my goat, but since I know when my statement is going to be produced, I usually pay by debit card online at http://www.americanexpress.co.uk/myaccount

MR transfer speed seems to be a bit hit & miss for me - have now done 3 transfers:
1. Online - transferred on a Saturday, arrived in FC account on Monday
2. Phone - transferred on a Monday, arrived in FC account the following Monday
3. Online - transferred last Wednesday, still waiting....
