I received the same e-mail. I didn't realize you have to actually sign up. I thought it was automatic enrollment for charge card customers.

From my understanding you have to enroll unless you're a new member as of April 1st?

 

I'm not too sure, better safe than sorry I guess.

It only counts on Personal Cards, I was hoping my business card would qualify.

Not necessarily -- I got an e-mail today for this, and I opened my card in March 08. The fun thing is, I canceled my Gold card several weeks ago, and I now just have a Blue.

What's especially fun is that they still seem to have me enrolled in the full membership rewards program. Go figure... Smiley Indifferent

Yeah sucks for those of us with an AMEX credit card.  It almost makes me want to switch.  Smiley Tongue
