Probably not doing anything wrong AMEX isn't known for retention offers unless you are putting 50k+ through each of those cards I wouldn't be holding your breath as that is the price meaning AF that you are paying for the benefits of the card if useful.
I couldn't begin to tell you how much Amex is looking for you to spend annually on the card. However, I'll venture a guess with pretty good odds that Amex is not going to spend money on you if you aren't making them money. They are not a non profit charitable organization. They exist solely to make money.
My company gives me a truck, laptop, cell phone, hotspot, iPad and corporate card. They pay for the airline tickets, hotel rooms, car rentals, gas, repairs, insurance, phone, iPad, and hotspot services (think MR's). They give me all that, not because they feel sorry for me and want me to have what every one else does, but because with all that "stuff", I make them money. Now, lets say I sit at the house and don't work (much like a sock-drawered credit card). Pretty soon I realize that my company is going to fire me if I don't start working for them so I decide to call them up and tell them I'm going to quit unless they get me a brand new truck.
In your opinion, what kind of compensation do you think my company is going to offer me in order to keep such a valuable employee? And, I lose all the MR points to boot.
