Retention bonus - amex plat
Is it okay to ask for a retention bonus every year? I asked for one and was given one. The annual membership fee has just posted (though it's part of my next month statement so won't pay this until June). Is it shameless to ask for a retention bonus every year? The annual fee is quite high...awhat's the best way to ask for it? Shall I just say I just noted the annual membership fee is due and ask if there are any retention/loyalty bonus? Or shall I pretend I want to cancel?
Edit: to report back I live chatted with amex and asked if there was an retention offer. The agent first reiterated to me the amex benefits where I could get the most value (eg dining credits) and when I pressed for more they offered to downgrade me to the basic or gold. So guess no retention offer for me this year 😞
