Hi Aaron, what if I am already holding on to a krisflyer blue card? Do I still qualify for 100,000 miles giveaway and the sign up bonuses?

Amex has clarified that this is just a temporary glitch- existing Amex cards can be used and the 3.1/3.2 for cobrand cards still works. The problem is adding new Amex cardsa
Extending the period for a lottery or lucky draw with a fixed number of prizes decreases the chance of early entrants winning. That is, they signed up for a different contest than the one they ended up getting.
