Platinum charge has always been 1.5 points per $1.

Not sure what you are referring to.

No it's not and I can prove it.

Platinum Charge card is 1.5pts/$1

That picture appears to be showing a figure that you would get using a Platinum Edge card which generates 2pts/$1 on fuel purchases.

I am telling you. I bought a 2x Red Bull at 7 Eleven. Not petrol and I used Platinum Charge for it.
For all time I ever had this card, it has been giving me 2x points. I am not pulling your leg.

It's always been 1.5 MR points per dollar for me. Maybe you were getting a special bonus or Amex was making an error in your favour.

I don't think AMEX find out details of the purchase, more than any purchases at Petrol Stations get 2 points and they just advertise it as 'Fuel'

Omg. What else do i need to do to convince you guys? Maybe it's an error but must be an error for 3 years then....

Completely unrelated to the topic, my apologies, but how are you getting this report? I can't see a line item by line item MR earn on my statements or online.... all I get is the dollar cost along with the vendor info.

Those pictures look exactly like the membership rewards website transaction information. Frankly they prove little as the 2 columns are for standard earn and bonus points, at least when I log in. So you've been getting 1 point per dollar and 1 bonus point per dollar, at least as I read what you've posted.

Ahhh. Thanks. Amex newbie here. I've been hunting for this on the main Amex/Statement site. The MR site does indeed contain the line by line MR accrual - cheers

When you click on the + it should expand and tell you the bonus.

I've never seen Amex Plat charge card at 1:2 earn ever. I've had mine for 4 years too.

Looks like you HAVE been getting 2x and not just 3.2.1 points on edge like the rest of us.
Lucky you.
It's not likely to change for you either, as it has been 1.5 for me since I joined 13 months ago.

Not only is it for real, but the only change is the 75k bonus for new signups. My Plat carge has offered 1.5 pts/$ up to 250k, and then 1 point. for at least 5 years.

The OP may have signed up at a time of a promo that was forgotten, or maybe they were offering 2pts for life of accout at some stage? In any case, it has been 1.5 for as long as I remember, unless OP is referring to Plat Edge.

what do you see when you click those + symbols?
