AMEX sending Gifts to entice to upgrade to Platinum Charge

[akshay_m]

I just received a small gift (AMEX branded globe) from American Express with a brochure for Platinum Charge. The intent was to entice me to upgrade to Platinum from my Plat Travel.
Wanted to check if anyone else also got it.

Gift toh badhiya diya hai... Which AMEX card you hold?

Now that's a first! There are a lot of other perks of holding Amex cards but this sounds interesting.

You are either really lucky or really close to their office because not a lot of people have receive any such things lately!

Never seen credit card companies sending physical gifts to customers..

Damn. Tata sent a plant and did not even have the secret access to upgrade to Infinity. I am clearly sending my money to the wrong guy! /s

I received offer as well to apply Amex plat and get Amex globe, however I don't desire a new card in wallet - so ignored.
Thanks for sharing globe image, it's always a delight to receive such gifts 🙂

Have a Platinum Travel, Gold, and MRCC.
I am not sure either why they sent this to be honest. Stay in Gurgaon, so assuming fairly close to AMEX offices.

You can upgrade to infinity ♾️ if you have 150k+ limit in HDFC.

AMEX usually used to give such gifts earlier. Then, RBI/IBA put a ban on giving gifts to individual customers - except calendars, mini diaries n key chains... - not exceeding certain cost per piece.

In 2003-2004, I got a top quality genuine leather passport holder from AMEX. I still use it. It speaks a lot about the quality.

So cool.. You might have done considerable txns on the card, so you deserved it.. Btw you're still keeping 2006 calendar in it!

2006 pocket calendar has SriVaari image on it's backside. So, it remained in that, since then.

Amex is known to provide gifts from time to time. My Dad had received a Casio Digital Diary ca. 1999 with his card.

kabhi hum jaise logo pe amex ki nazar nai hoti...🙁

 

[rafzy]

those who couldn't apply because of non-serviceable area crying in the corner.... 😭😭😭

 

[Sudip]
