Maybe I'm not aware of some kind of bonus offer or something, but I can never correlate the number of Amex Rewards points awarded to me with the amount I spend on the card.
I understand that the Amex Plat Credit Card has 1.5 reward points / $ spent. Great. Makes sense to me. I see that Amex award the "1" point as Points earned and ".5" reward points as "Bonus" points. Still making sense.
But I can't work out the following:
The amount of base points awarded never matches my monthly spend. It's sometimes higher or lower depending on the month.
The amount of bonus points doesn't always match 50% of the base points. It also can be higher depending on the month.
This is logical if Amex are having Bonus offers at the moment for spends at certain locations, however the only listing I know of is here:
http://www.americanexpress.com/australia/personal/cards/rewards/bonuspoints.shtml?au_en_nu=leftnav
,and apart from not spending any money at those organisation, nothing is displayed on my statement showing that I'm earning extra from any spend.
So what am I missing?
