grrrrrr. I just got my latest AmEx statement--I should have the bonus for 4x online shopping for August's Soar into More, but I have no bonus miles on the statement! My 4 online purchases (2x amazon.ca, 2xchapters) are split over 2 bills because of when my billing cycle ends, but they're all listed on my statements. I also checked to see that the July SIM bonus (gas station shop) showed up no problem. I'm concerned that they're going to suggest that I didn't properly opt in, and I'm not sure there's any way to disprove that point. I think I have screen shots, but the page just says "congrats, you've opted in" with no identifying information anywhere. Argh, thanks for being a thorn in my side today, AmEx!
How have others dealt with missing bonus miles from AmEx? Should I wait for another billing cycle before phoning? Phone and complain now? Has anyone had a good resolution when seeking missing SIM bonus miles?
Dug out the fine print connected to this promo: The fine print is in red and my *understanding* is in my purpleI don't think you need worry yet. I still don't have them either and I have spoke to others in the same boat. The first offer went through but nothing since. Not sure what they are waiting for but I think its AMEX wide and not just a few of us.
I don't think I can use it either.I got the email too and it pains me to say I can't use it. I need maybe $30 worth of groceries to top up the freezer before I abandon DS and head off to Orlando. Next Friday better not be Ontario's Blue Friday because I will miss that too.
Happy hunting to those who are able to make use of the email bonus.
You could be right, I've never done the math, however I don't really see the difference in whether or not you get the Disney tickets with air miles or use the air miles to purchase products in store and then take the saved cash and buy Disney tickets (if that is what you meant). Its just easier, in my mind, to get the tickets through air miles than to collect cash not used in place of air miles, convert it to US and then purchase the tickets using the US cash.A lot of people seem to try to accumulate miles for disney tickets. I am hoping someone can help me understand. When I looked up the number of miles required for the tickets it seems that it costs about the same as the value if you just redeemed the airmiles for cash at the stores. Am I mistaken? Do people just like feeling like they aren't paying for the tickets? If someone could show me a real advantage fiscally I would like to refocus efforts to gaining more airmiles. thanks,

FYI, I just had an email that my Amex statement was ready to view so I pulled it up and it shows a bonus of 800 AM which would be the spend $400 in September bonus. I still don't see the offer for Aug go through yet (shop at 4 online stores and get the Amex app), that's 500 I'm still waiting for. I may just give them a call and ask why it hasn't shown yet.
ETA--Just spoke with Amex and the person I spoke with could not get his head around what I was missing. He also did not read the offer the way the email has it, he said that it had to be a minimum of $100 per purchase for each 100 AM. Not what my email states. Anyways, I know have a reference number and I'm to call back in 3 days to see what they can figure out. Anyone else waiting still for the August offer to go through, you might want to start calling and get ahead of this thing. I can see its gong to be a fight. Lol.
Thank you for that information. I did not know about offer 2 although how I missed it is a mystery to me. Lol. I would have been all over that one.My AMEX statement also shows I received the 800 AM bonus for the spend $400 in September. It's not showing on Air Miles yet.
I think the person you spoke to at AMEX was confused because there were two offers in August.
1) Shop at 4 online stores and use the AMEX app to get 500 Air Miles (Aug 1-31 but enroll your card by Aug 13th)
2) Each time you spend $100 or more you would get 100 air miles. Cumulative up to $500 (and 500 air miles) BUT the purchase had to be at least $100 or more EACH time to be part of the cumulative $500. That ran from Aug 7-31st. No need to enroll your card.
I just got off the phone with AMEX because I received 500 air miles on my August statement (instead of 1,000) and 800 on my September statement. She looked into it and said I received the 500 air miles for the second offer. The first offer (shop at 4 stores) I haven't received and it could take 90 days from August 31 before I get it. She said she'd leave on a note on my file that I already called about the missing miles. Hopefully I'll get them next statement, but it may not show up until November or December's statement.
