Amex PRG - Offered 25,000 points to keep card

I've had my PRG card for 10 months now.  My anniversary is coming in July 2014.  I called to cancel card because I refuse to pay $175 annual fee.  1st year annual fee was waived.  The 25,000 points have a $250 value which can be used to pay the annual fee.  Of course, I snatched that deal up.  One more year free.  CSR said I have great history with the card.  Well I guess so since I've already ran $17,000 through the card so far this year.  Last year from July through December, I ran through $26,000.

Thanks Lexie.  I'll be sure to use it a little more.  Just wish they would give me that 3x cli, but I understand why not :Smiley Frustrated

Thanks gdale.  If I hit $30,000 this year, I'll get another 25,000 points.

You refuse to pay the fee because you feel this product has no real value and/or you want to impress upon us your financial prudence yet you brag about putting sizable spending through it of which some of it was likely luxury goods and services like the PRG. Congrats on getting the retention. Smiley Wink
