care to elaborate?The good people at AMEX are apparently quite open to negotiating. There first offer is not their best offer.

I got a measly 500 points chatting online to the agent... yes 500 points
Care to share more? I've been told it's the best and final offer.
Initial offer was 15k. I said I needed to think about it, called up a few weeks later and said for it work for me I needed 20k points and that's what they offered.
I suppose it doesn't hurt to ring up and call again and get someone else if they are playing hard?
Very interesting. Was your second phone call closer to your annual fee date (or were they both post annual fee)?
First call was about three weeks to annual fee. Second call was day of the annual fee. The higher points offer was confirmed the day after in a callback.
Just called to cancel my velocity platinum that I've held for 2 years, annual fee due in August.
Have only put say $2k each month on it so very low. Had all intention to cancel it but was offered 27k velocity points which will go through on next cycle in a week or so. Had to say no to that kind of deal.
