AMEX Platinum Card Membership rewards cut!

Re: MR points being rounded down to the closest dollar?

Anyone noticed Amex changed their MR points and always round down to the closest dollar now?
It used to be either normal rounding or accumulate the cents, which is better than other CC rewards AFAIK.
I normally get 10 points for $9.95 purchase and even for $9.55 purchase, and 9 points for $9.2.
But now I got 19 points for $19.99 purchase and it seems to round down at all time.
Based on my point statement, this change started to happen between 3/Aug and 6/Aug,
as I got 25 points for $24.75 on 3/Aug and 14 points for $14.65 on 6/Aug.
Other purchases between 3rd and 6th are either integer or less than $xx.50.

I think this is a negative change as we only lose points.
Is there any T&C on how we accumulate our points and do AMex need to inform us the change before it happen?

This has been discussed previously though I cannot point you at the thread just at the moment.

Thanks Mod, and I checked back my Jun statement, the info was at the bottom of the PDF.

I first noticed this in August and I thought they're having an IT problem or something. This hits Platinum edge customers most because we may lose 3 points from each supermarket and 2 points from each petrol transaction.

What is the logic of this (other than greed)? Has anyone called amex asked this question to them? I'm wondering their response.
