发帖数: 1912 | 1 July 18 (Bloomberg) -- A Chinese collector who bought an ancient Chinese
ceramic cup for a record HK$281 million (US$36 million) at auction in April
got an unexpected bonus when he paid for it today: nearly 422 million
American Express points.
Liu Yiqian, who used his Centurion Card to pay for the cup from Sotheby’s
Hong Kong, hadn’t even thought about the rewards until he was contacted by
Bloomberg News.
“He didn’t even know,” his daughter Betty said by telephone, as her
father does not speak English. “He is checking now to find out about how
many points he can get.”
So what can his 421,860,000 AMEX points get him? According to the American
Express website, they can be converted to more than 28 million frequent
flyer miles or about $180,000 worth of vouchers at Hong Kong retailer
ParknShop.
Liu, who plans to place the cup in his private museum in Shanghai, had to
sign 24 separate AMEX receipts because the system can only swipe
transactions of up to HK$12 million at a time, said Nicolas Chow, head of
Chinese ceramics and works of art and deputy chairman of Sotheby’s Asia.
Chow said Liu agreed to inviting the media for the payment and handover of
the cup in order to show that a Chinese collector who bid a record at
auction pays his bills.
“There have been lots of transactions in China for large amounts that never
come into fruition,” Chow said. “With that knowledge he wanted to show it
’s a real transaction and he’s paying.” |

发帖数: 10121 | 11 那香港也不是这个年费，年费最便宜的还是美国，其他都更贵。
这个估计是人工操作的，否则也刷不了这么多。可能是提前通知AMEX了且有资产担保。
不然怎么还能连续刷24次？
4.2亿点数可以换3000套飞世界各地的往返头等舱，每套价值大约1万美元，可以开超级
旅行社了。或者在二手点版卖掉数钱要累死了：D |

发帖数: 4998 | 19 到了这个层次点数都是浮云，“He didn't even know”就对了。
amex自己打广告也有个故事，说有哥们要计划什么结婚纪念日旅行，然后朋友提醒他可
以用点数，于是他就把卡里的几百万点数用在旅行上了。
