【2016.10.5更新】AmEx 已經在他們自己的官網上發佈消息了。看來也就這麼點改變了,大家散去吧…
The Platinum Card from American Express Will Offer 5X Membership Rewards Points on Airfare When Booked Directly with Airlines or Through American Express Travel
American Express OPEN Business Platinum Card Members Can Earn 50% Points Back on Air

【2016.10.4更新】果然如之前所說,這種支支吾吾的態度看起來就是不小心說漏嘴了。根據媒體報道,Amex 發言人已經正式確認 5x airfare on Platinum Card 會從10月6日開始。通過航司官網,AmexTravel.com, Amex Travel Services 購買的機票可以獲得 5x MR pts
AmEx Platinum Card users starting Thursday will earn five points for every dollar spent directly with any airline or on AmEx』s travel website, said American Express spokeswoman Charlotte Fuller, up from the current one point per dollar earned on airfare.
physixfan 自己也向 Amex 客服求證過了,應該是所有版本的白金卡都會從周四起自動 enroll 此新福利。此外 Amex 還對白金商業卡小改進了一下,每筆$5k 以上的消費都可以獲得1.5x MR pts(這個與絕大部分朋友應該沒啥關係了)。有沒有更多的變化或者新卡發行,目前還不清楚。
如果這就是等待已久的大新聞,大家會不會有點失望呢?
【2016.10.4 早些時候的更新】現在 Amex 已經撤回了之前的 Twitter 回復,面對 @theforwardcabin 的追問也是既不否認也不肯定,這種模模糊糊的態度真的很像是之前不小心說漏嘴了啊… MyFico 論壇有個帖子今早也說道新的變化只會是 5x airfare…
經過讀者提醒,確實是沒有看到最新的 Twitter 回復。Amex剛剛又回復了另一個人,說這是一個 old offer…於是大家都一頭霧水了…stay tuned…
剛剛 Amex 官方 Twitter 賬號在網上確認,10月6日起「白金卡」(並沒有說是什麼卡)在航司官網買機票可以獲得5x積分,有沒有更多改變還暫時不清楚。這條回復已經被 @AskAmex 刪除了,原來那個人 @sdice 問的問題是:@AskAmex any truths to the rumors about tier one, a new card or update to Amex platinum?
【2016.10 更新】Tier One 好像只是個新的 Loyalty Program 的名字,HT: reddit:
The Customer Relationship Marketing team』s mission is to deepen engagement and drive incremental value for our Business and Corporate Card Members. The team focuses on inspiring spend among Card Members.
This position is a terrific opportunity to drive measurable loyalty among GCP』s highest spending customers by delivering high-touch marketing and servicing treatments through a loyalty program called Tier One.

This position is ideal for someone who is excited about delivering premium experiences and benefits to Managed Mid-Market customers in order to drive loyalty and tangible business results.

今天 Monkey Miles 細心的發現,AmEx 剛剛提交了「Tier One」的商標申請。他還指出,CSR 在發佈前夕也提交了”Reserve”的商標申請。這兩個商標申請的時間線相似、內容相似度很高,讓人不得不懷疑,AmEx 是不是準備新發一張卡叫 AmEx Platinum Tier One 或者 AmEx Tier One?
這兩個商標申請的頁面見這裡:Tier One;Reserve。
另外,在那篇文章下面還有一個評論很有意思:
I called the AMEX number behind my Platinum because I was curious to know.
I partially described the CSR card to the lady and asked if AMEX would come up with some better rewards/benefits…long story short, she said that a BIG announcement is coming and to NOT get rid of my Platinum card.
這樣看起來又像是 AmEx 想要提升現在白金卡的福利而不是搞個新卡了…
Anyway,不管到底最後是哪種情況,很期待 AmEx 給我們搞個大新聞啊!
【2016.09.28】
這幾天一些信用卡界開始流傳起一個小道消息:AmEx 可能在近期推出一款新卡或者改進其白金卡,以和最近風頭正盛的 Chase Sapphire Reserve (CSR) 搶奪市場。
這個消息最早出來在 reddit/r/churning 上,樓主說他在喝醉酒的狀態下跟一個 AmEx marketing girl 聊天得到了一些信息。原始帖子已被樓主自己刪除,眼疾手快的讀者複製粘貼出來了一份現在在這裡,具體內容如下:
