A purchase with a merchant will not receive additional miles if the merchant's code is not included in a reward category. You may not receive additional miles if American Express receives inaccurate information or is otherwise unable to identify your purchase as eligible for a reward category. The source gives examples where you may not receive additional miles: a merchant uses a third party to sell its products or services; a merchant uses a third party to process or submit your transaction (for example, mobile or wireless card readers); or you choose to make a purchase using a third-party payment account or a mobile or digital wallet.

If the Minimum Payment Due is not paid by the Payment Due Date of the billing period in which it is due, you forfeit the miles you earned for eligible purchases during that billing period. The source gives an example: if the billing period closes January 15 and the minimum payment for that billing period is due on February 10, and you do not make that minimum payment by February 10, you will not earn miles for purchases in the billing period ending February 15.
