Consumer Narrative
I opened an Amex XXXX for XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX with a welcome offer of earning additional 9X Membership Rewards points for Shop Small within the first 6 months, up to {$25000.00}. I made a {$2200.00} purchase at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and a {$990.00} purchase XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. But the 9X Shop Small bonus points for both transactions were never posted to my account. At the time of the transaction, both merchants were showing as Shop Small merchants on the Amex merchant map ( https : //www.americanexpress.comXXXX ). XXXX XXXX is still on it as of today XX/XX/XXXX ( https : //www.americanexpress.com/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), see attachment XXXX. I have the Amex online chat records ( see attachment XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) showing the chat representative confirmed XXXX XXXX was a Shop Small merchant on XX/XX/XXXX when I first inquired about the missing bonus points for this transaction. After that, I have contacted American Express many times about this issue. Once a chat representative even confirmed that the missing points will be credited within 8 to 12 weeks of the investigation case date ( XX/XX/XXXX ), see attachment XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. And till now, the points were still not posted. I also tried to contact Amex by phone about this issue in XXXX. And they sent me a letter saying " we are unable to process your recent Membership Rewards request '' but did not state any reason for that. This is a complete lack of customer care. I have wasted so much time fighting for the missing points that I should have earned, but the team just simply declined it with a sentence without any explanation.
