I have had this card a few times – do you think I could get it again? I don’t see any one time bonus language
Hi Ricky – I was thinking of the following. Can you please let me know if it is possible? Say I spend 5K (by buying something expensive for 2K), so I get 75K points. Next I convert 75K points to Aeroplan Miles. Thereafter, I return the expensive 2K product to the store? Now I dont think Amex can deduct the points as they have been converted to Miles already, and Aeroplan miles technically falls beyond Amex’s jurisdiction.
Hi Sudin,
That’s a good way to get banned by Amex – either that, or they can simply clawback the welcome bonus, leaving you with a negative 75K MR balance, and then bill you for that at a 1cpp rate (if you’re lucky). I wouldn’t recommend it.

I just signed up for this literally the day before the change happened and was approved. I was confused the next morning when I logged on and saw the $499 fee. I am assuming I got the $399 annual fee and associated perks bonus points etc. I wonder if Amex will still come to the table with the full priority pass select membership. Once my card arrives and I activate it, that will be my first call. I would and will happily pay the $100 difference to have that extra perk.
You’ll definitely get the full Priority Pass benefits (even existing cardholders are getting that), but if you applied when it was $399 you should be charged $399, not $499. I think you have a strong case for arguing that you should have the original $399 fee honoured, providing it was the case that there was the $399 language on the application page the moment you clicked Apply.
