Amex Tweaking Rewards

[Remedios]

The only tweak I've noticed is that their mighty algorithm thinks I can use physical card in WA state, than 45 min later order a pizza in Japan. 

I suppose that's "helping", because I could have used wormhole to get to Japan and back in under an hour, and I bet that would make anyone hungry. 

Yeah, slightly off topic, but I'm extra salty about it.

If only Amex would bring back the 2x points at small businesses promotion. Boy, I loved that one!

From the CNBC article talking about it:

"In addition, Membership Rewards cardholders will soon be able to earn 2X Membership Rewards points on Grubhub and Seamless purchases through the end of the year. An Amex spokesperson confirmed there is no specific start date yet, though they are targeting later this April."

Looks like this will be a universal deal at some point once it's implemented, even though I wouldn't assume 2x Membership Points will end up netting 6/8 points per dollar on the Green/Gold(it would certainly be welcome if it did).

MR for cash is still $0.006 pp, doesn't do me much good.

Woke up this morning to an extra 1 MR on Grubhub/Seamless offer on my Gold through the end of the year. Will go back to using it about half the time on Grubhub now.

She's just trying to get out of paying for the pizza she ordered when she got the bill for the somewhat excessive delivery fee from Japan to WA.  "Oh, that wasn't me."

I woke up and saw posts over all the blogs I follow that there's an Amazon 5x Amex offer for up to 2,000 points. It's not in my AMEX offers bucket yet, but if it makes it there, this is enough to make me switch off my Amazon Store Card (5% CB) to the Green for a while...
