American Express India Adjusts Reward Points After Cancellation Due to Technical Issue
American Express India has deducted Membership Rewards points from customers who cancelled credit cards, sometimes months or years prior, citing a technical issue that allowed expired points to remain visible beyond the 30-day redemption period. Several cardholders reported losing large amounts of points, with some balances turning negative. Amex stated it has resolved the issue and adjusted accounts according to its terms. Customers have raised concerns about tracking pooled points and challenging these deductions.
