This kind of mistake can easily be caught by their reconciliation department. If you only pay the displayed net remaining balance, and they come back in March and remove the $175, and you are NOT watching it, then you have an open balance that needs to be paid, and a late, and it becomes not quite such a good bonus.
So I would pay the amount you actually owe, exclusive of the $175 you think is a mistake. Let the credit sit on the account. Leave the account unhidden in your AMEX on-line display. If they don't pick it up after a while, you can ask for a statement credit transfer or a check.
But I tend to think they will be taking this back.
Well, I'm not doing that. I paid the amount they said was due and will monitor the account for the next cycle or two.

If there is such a thing as karma then this would be a drop in the buckety compared to all the hardships I have had to endure.

True, I'm one of the most vile people you could imagine and yet, I survived stage4 lc for over 15 years!

Good karma would be returning the money and getting a raise from your job or winning $200 on a scratch off or something like that .OK, very off topic, but from another view you haven't experienced karma. You've experienced good and bad THINGS. You may have done good and bad things. The correlation is in your mind. If ONLY good things happened to good people, and bad things to bad people, then you might have a point, but that clearly isn't the case, certainly not "more often than not".
Ok, let's not get into this discussion as I can already feel the headache coming on as I try to unravel the meaning behind the universe!
It looks like amex went back into my account a few days later and reassessed the AF, which is a pain now because I had already sent a full payment in. It looks like the fee is applied to the current billing cycle so I will have another month to pay it.
