I’ve tried a couple of times and no dice this year after paying fee. Odd system where I now feel almost entitled to one as if it’s part of the benefits…
Yes, that’s the problem Amex has created for itself, making retentions into part of the card benefits. I imagine they are cheesing off quite a lot of people when they read of 50k and 75k retentions being offered to those who only took out the card for the 75k SUB around four months ago.
35k is a decentish chunk of MR but when there are 50k and 75k retentions flying around it almost seems like being given two fingers.
Card holder since October 2022 – just been given two fingers LOL (to clarify, that’s a 35k retention two fingers offer)
