My local service station has changed the merchant name that shows up on American Express. It used to be Gull Mount Lawley, earning 2 points/$ on the Platinum Edge. Now it is "McDonald Group Investment Pty Ltd Mount" earning 1 point/$. As a one time exception they have given me the extra points "as goodwill". Is this good enough? I think not really - after the recent earnings reduction we should be earning 2 points per dollar at every service station regardless of the merchant name that shows up. If they can't get the name right, that shouldn't be my problem.
I do understand that it was not your fault since your local service station change business without prior information to you. Therefore, as a one time exception I've issued the remaining 47 points as goodwill to your account. However, going forward you will receive just one point for every dollar that you spend with McDonald Group Investment Pty Ltd. Mount.
