got the GC this morning.
AMEX points is still on its way.

Funny, coincides with my calling in just yesterday and getting a little testy with the CSR. Got forwarded to a manager, and that was that. Hope it did the trick. I'm glad to see that they came through with their promise.

Is this promotion still ongoing?

Thanks

I think you need to let the card mature a bit more. If they can see that you are obviously just "flipping" credit cards for the offers there is no incentive to retain you. In fact, I think this is something the computer decides, not the CSR, so use the card randomly here and there and then call back in 4 to 6 months. Then they will offer you points every month or so when you call to cancel (in my experience).

i got multiple credits and points on my immature card, and i only made couple insignificant purchases, i think it's up to the whim of the csr because it's always various credit amounts they offered, and when they were going to cancel for real, i had to "remind" them of ways i could stay if they'd award points, they always acquiesced, i think you are smart to change your mind at the last minute to live to fight another day

dajabon said:Still no AMEX points here. Any tips on what to do or say? I have a PDF of the offer. Could this be because I already had their card before for a different business???

My points showed up finally.
I guess you will have to wait for several more days.

got the AMEX points but never saw the td 100.00 gift card. Stories vary from person to person.

Please let us know how it goes. I got the 5,000 points too, for my first purchase, but nothing on the 25,000 points.

Still working on the card. CSR on rewards says, after talking to supervisor, that there is no partnership between them and TigerDirect. I tried to email them the link, but they do not accept emails. Of course, they started an investigation. We'll see what it does ...

Any ideas/suggestions?

The $100 TigerDirect gift card is from TigerDirect, not AMEX (it's TigerDirect's promotion)

This is what I thought from the beginning. Then I called TigerDirect and CSR said they have nothing to do with it, cause it's AMEX promo.

Is there a specific department or guy I need to reach at TigerDirect concerning the deal?
