Amex Membership Rewards

[TiredOldFlyer]

Arrived yesterday :

"........your points are up to 30% more valuable when you redeem for these airline partner offers before August 31 2012.

Malaysian Airlines 30% extra value for your points.

Velocity 20% bonus when you transfer your point.

Virgin Atlantic 30% bonus flying club miles.

Etihad 20% bonus Etihad Guest Miles."

Refers to Membership Rewards Business Ascent cards.

Now if I could only redeem the points if I transfer...........................................?

Is this a general offer or targeted??

Can't see anything on the Amex website.

Hmmm I would love to transfer a chunk of points!

Can't see anything on the Velocity website no Amex website... yet!

Was there a link on the postcard to the Amex website ?

It may be targeted. Our card, although un branded, is a Platinum Business , in fact we have two - one for business only expenses and one for private expenses. (At a very special
annual fee)
We still have the original insurance ( eg before "enhancements") but since Aug 1 Amex points to Airlines are now 3 Amex for 2 Airline, but I am assured by my account
manager that there will be bonus transfers regularly throughout the year. With the bonus they are still only what they were prior to August 1 = eg 1 for 1.
They have also added free entry to Virgin Lounges.
It seems that there are now many variations with Amex cards !
Sorry no links on card.

Have seen nothing either - but I know some people who work for various credit card companies/banks and they specifically told me not to cash in any points 'yet'!
