https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Pleasant-Surprise-from-AMEX/m-p/5558000#M1632248 Haha yea I’m still surprise and definitely wasn’t expecting it. I was so close to closing my card and getting my annual fee refunded when I learned I was denied! Glad I didn’t now lol. I still may close it when the 2nd fee hits however but this makes that decision a little tougher.

What makes it interesting is that I didn’t even reach the minimum spend for the card after learning I wouldn’t get the bonus a week or so in.<BR /><BR />Idk if this was just a courtesy since i was denied the bonus upon receiving no pop up anyways I am very happy!

You best bet is to accept the generosity and keep living life. I am fairly certain they are either on a good will shopping spree or doing damage control so enjoy.</P> Sat, 30 Mar 2019 18:10:29 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Pleasant-Surprise-from-AMEX/m-p/5557806#M1632225 zerofire 2019-03-30T18:10:29Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Pleasant-Surprise-from-AMEX/m-p/5557844#M1632226 <BLOCKQUOTE><HR />@Anonymous&nbsp;wrote:<BR />So I just checked my account and couldn’t help but to notice that Amex gave me my 50k membership reward points from the gold they previously denied.
