Multiple outlets have been reporting a new round of American Express claw backs. These seem to be related to points boots granted from referring new members. American Express seems to be targeting transactions that show obvious signs of gift card purchases. A transaction of $505.95 for example. $500 being the most you can buy on a single Visa Reload in a transaction. $5.95 being the activation fee.
‘After careful review, we noticed activity that indicated these points may have been earned or used in a way that doesn’t meet the terms and conditions of the Membership Rewards program or of the promotional offer under which you earned the points.’

Thoughts
At this point it’s no surprise… We could complain but we also know how American Express operates.
