The last 2 days have been amazing for American Express cardholders.
With the introduction of AMEX Express Checkout, AMEX was giving out $10 per AMEX card at a number of merchants.
Newegg and Ticketmaster were real moneymakers.
Trouble hit this afternoon with a slew of cancellations from Newegg. It seems that the seller didn't do a great job of monitoring their inventory and decided to cancel lots of orders.
It's interesting that the email says that the customer decided to cancel, which I and others most certainly did not.
Now that orders are cancelled, the question is whether the credits will come through. My prediction is that the credits will come through anyways. I can't say that for sure but there is nothing to lose here. Let's wait a week, see if the credits post. If they don't, we can all go back and buy game codes for $0.40 which don't run out.
I would also recommend contacting newegg customer service asking why it says the orders were cancelled when you didn't cancel the orders.
