Signed up for Amex Platinum last year and used a big flight purchase to hit the signup bonus. Flights were around $6k, bonus posted, and I’ve already moved about half the points.
Now plans changed and I need to reroute the trip. New fare is closer to $3.5k, so I’m expecting a refund from the airline. That technically means I wouldn’t have met the minimum spend anymore, even though it wasn’t intentional and it’s happening almost a year later.
I paid the statement in full ages ago, so Amex already got their money. Not sure if it matters whether the airline reverses the original charge or just posts a new refund.
Has anyone had Amex claw back a signup bonus in a situation like this, especially this long after and with points already spent? Trying to understand how nervous I should be.
