Whilst this may apply to some, it does not describe my circumstances. I have received more than 50k points in December, with more than 100T.

I can assure you that the Trade Practices Act does not apply to financial services. Try the ASIC Act.

Thanks edman, drewbles and DUXB. Certainly no complaints about the extra 0.5 pt bonus from me. Not that it makes a noticiable difference when considered in light of the 5k or 10k bonuses that are on offer. To answer edman's query about the $100k limit, this does not apply to me (my spend...

Has any other Plat CC holder who was getting 2 MR points per dollar (usual 1 and 0.5 Plat CC bonus, plus a 0.5 "platinum accelarator" since late Sep 08) noticed a change in the crediting? My account now seems to be getting the usual 1 pt per dollar plus 0.5 "platinum accelarator". There has...

There has been 200+ pages of discussion on this point. Your suggested starting point is there. After trawling through that you'll probably realise that there are a number of different thoughts on the topic and no simple anwer to the question you pose. That's the thing about law - it is rarely...

Thanks. Did you sign up (and get bonus points) for more than one promo code, or did you just plug in the one you received on the postcard (if you got a postcard). I know there were some people who reported getting bonuses for all three promo codes. Or is does this look more like AMEX are...

Is there any reasoning behind the removal of xx_x points? Was that you points balance? I'm no mathematician, but it doesn't look to be in 5k/10k multiples...

My comment was a reference to your earlier comments in this thread suggesting that you were going to complain to a lotteries commission (or equivalent) about the conduct of the Velocity competition to win flights to LA that ended on 30 Sep. Your position was that someone (maybe AMEX, maybe...

In contrast to the DJ lotteries garbage and QFF terms, that part was actually worth reading. The provisions of the ASIC Act apply to businesses providing financial services. The consumer protection provisions of the TPA (which have been quoted or referred to many times in this thread) DO NOT...

Try s12DA of the ASIC Act (2001).

Contractually, it may well be enforceable. Lots of contracts have terms that allow for unilateral variation without notice. As previously noted by a number of posters in this thread (including me at post #1040), contractually enforceable does not mean it is not in breach of the consumer...

Yes, those terms are in the T&Cs of the MR program. That does not mean they are enforceable or not in breach of the TPA. For example, see the ACCC website which says (can't post the weblink because I don't have more than 10 posts): Assume: I got a postcard in the mail; I signed up for the...
