What happens if I take the rentention offer, get the 500 pts but don't make the additional 1k spend for 1k points and then close the card. Do they claw back those 500 pts? If I close the card now with purchases from this cycle do I not get spg points for that spend? If I close the spg card next month will I get a full refuind on the AF that I paid?
They only offered you 1.5K SPG points? Yuck. I got 5,000 points the last time I called.
Wow. 5k points I would have kept the card for sure. The offer that was made to me seems to be the default offer being made to most people recently though so I don't feel singled out. Unlike with citi AA which is really screwing me with requiring 1k spend to offset an AF when they let others offset with $95 spend. I was tempted to close the card just over that, but decided not to because I may have future AA flights in the next year where the benefits would be worthwhile.
