I forget the exact amount but my friend just got a retention bonus recently for his gold card. I wanna say it was like 20,000 points for $3,000 spend in 3 months or something.
Yeah the retention offers will be smaller than the initial welcome offer, but it's a great way to get some extra points. Just keep in mind, a retention bonus won't always be offered on every card
@@JacobsPointsAndProfit the video wasnt even over and I was on amex chat lol They couldn't offer me a point bonus probably because they are only asserted a set amount of points to give out. They did offer a statement credit of $100 if I spent $1,000 on the card in three months. Not the jazziest hands of an offer but ill take it vs nothing. Our rental car for the upcoming ritz trip was literally 1k so i guess its 900 now lol. (also using amex primary rental car insurance saved hundreds)
No they don't send it to your email, but the conversation stays on your chat for a little bit even after you log out. I like to take screenshots of the messages if it's important

That’s cool! It’s nice to get some extra points out of these cards
I have been with Amex since 1987, I am treated very well. Adjustments are easy and they are on top of any rewards I ask for.
That's great! I'm sure they like having you around
I got the same statement credit offer, but decided to close my platinum anyway as I wasn't getting value after they removed audible 😢
Yeah losing Audible wasn’t a popular move. I was strongly considering canceling but it’s Player 2’s favorite card haha
I just joined the Amex ecosystem a few months ago, way too early for retention offer lol. Will ask for one maybe in a couple of years
Yeah a lot of people have said it’s best to ask for a retention offer after the 2nd year of holding a card with an annual fee
Nice 👍🏼
Thanks for being here Xavier!
Dang you read my brain I was just wondering if it was possible for me to get a "sign up bonus" twice

1. Do they usually send a copy of that conversation to your email, for your record?

Expecting my Gold card annual fee to post in the next couple of days. Will be asking for a retention on that.
Sweet! Let us know how it goes and what your offer is
@@JacobsPointsAndProfit just got off the chat with the agent. 40k points for 3k spend or $300 after 3k spend. I accepted the 40K.
Hi! Did you get a retention offer?
@@tnsha06 yes, i did. 40k for 3k spend
Take a shot every time he says American Express... good luck
That's a dangerous game to play
