Amex Serve Card bonuses going away?

I didn't see anything posted so far, so I figure I'll create a topic for it. I received this e-mail at noon:

**Change to the RP+ in-game benefit ** Beginning December 1, 2014, you will no longer be able to earn Riot Points with your RP+ from American Express Serve Account. You can still earn Riot Points with your Card through November 30, 2014 to be used in League of Legends®, and any RP that you earn will not expire.

After November 30, your American Express Serve Account will remain active and you can continue to use your Card to shop online or in-stores virtually anywhere American Express® Cards are accepted worldwide.

What's the word on this? Is there a replacement plan coming, a different company, or is it all just going away? The Serve card works great as a cash-equivalent for small purchases and the like, so I've been using mine constantly. Was there a reason to stop production and use of it?

I got this email as well. The entire reason I got this card was because of the RP bonuses. Getting a few RP here and there from my purchases was great. I hope that someone from Riot can tell us what happened. Until I hear otherwise I am going to blame Amex.

I saw this email and got angry. I haven't played league in a bit because I've been busy with over things, but I can list a bunch of places that take Amex now because I've had this card since it was first offered, and the RP does build for a spender like me. I was pissed at the fee they slid in and now this. I will do my last go for November and cancel it, but I think we deserve to know why. I legit stopped what I was during and started searching for and answer.

Yeah, I would hope Riot would have something else in mind and not leave us hanging :(

I wonder if its just because their partnership with AMEX is expiring or if its Leagues choice to just stop the program.

I figure that the credit card company is prolly to blame for this issue you should go be mad at them. (send them an email requesting they bring it back or something)
