Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

QBR Amex, 2 year renewal is coming up. Guy tried to tell me about the benefits of the card 😂
He offered 50k, I asked for more but that was all he could give.
One year later, forgot about this and only noticed after the annual fee was charged.
Called and got offered 40k QBR points. Asked for more, but that was the maximum.
Accepted it. Said it will be in my account within 24-48 hours. :D

Zing! Solid outcome. Wait pardon my naivety what is a QBR (Qantas ... Businesss rewards? Are these QFF adjacent?)

Without looking closely this suggests the law is different for business vs personal CCs!
 
Quite categorically Amex said that they're just applying this whole "nope" for retention bonuses across the board now. This is amex-amex and not co-branded amex tho
The post just above (#2821) would suggest this is not totally true. Despite the Qantas branding it’s still an Amex issued card!
