American Express Reverses Reward Points Deductions After Customer Complaints
American Express India deducted reward points from customers' accounts linked to previously cancelled credit cards, citing a technical glitch that allowed points to remain visible beyond the 30-day expiry period. Several cardholders reported losing large amounts of points, with some balances turning negative. Following customer complaints and threats of escalation, Amex reversed the deductions and restored points to November 8 levels, while reaffirming that points expire 30 days after card cancellation as per their terms and conditions.
