Quick update: Received my Explorer on Friday and the account was set up as linked to Ascent. Spoke to the Manila Call Centre and they agreed to delink. I've spent about $400 as at yesterday and this morning the account was still not delinked so I called them again and they said they'd get to...

Just received and activated my card today. I did identify myself as an existing Edge cardholder, and when I activated my Explorer, the Gateway program was consolidated into my Ascent account. A quick call to the Manila call centre and my accounts are now in the process of being de-linked. I'll...

Leave them unlinked and spend the $1,500. Once the 110,000 points post to your Gateway account, link to continue earning 2 Ascent Premium ppd.

Question on linking and delinking. When I got my Charge, I already held an Edge and the programs were not linked. I did spend the qualifying amount the day I got the card and the 120,000 Ascent Premium points appeared the next day. A couple of days later, without any initiation from me, the...

Dropped 41 after applying for the Explorer and I don't even know if I've been approved yet. Sent income docs through yesterday.

Re: AMEX Explorer referral Thanks for the advice guys. I have just applied and have received a conditional approval pending income docs which I have submitted. Strange though, as I was approved on the spot for a Charge in Nov 2015! Fingers crossed....

I'm an existing Amex card holder and would be keen on the bonus sign up points. When applying, should I state that I'm an Amex card holder and enter my Edge number? I'm hoping that since the opening of the Gateway account is what gives you the points, this shouldn't matter. Can anyone confirm?

Re: Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" bonus given thread. Absolutely ridiculous. When I told the guy on the phone that I had been provided incorrect advice by the Customer Service Rep who assisted with my card cancellation, he said I should have read T&Cs when I applied for the card. And he...

Re: Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" bonus given thread. Amazing.. cancelled both my Plat Charge and the companion Reserve (they offered 23,000 points in total to retain me which I politely declined) and I've now lost access to my eStatements. I was not advised that this would happen...

What about Accor Plus memberships?

Hi all. Thinking of cancelling my Platinum Charge this week. I've already booked my free Accor night for mid December. Do you know if Amex cancels your Accor membership when you cancel your charge card? The Accor booking email says that the Accor membership needs tn be valid upon check out...

Hi all - I work for a professional services firm and we are trying to place a value on our sales pipeline process. Has anyone looked into doing this before? Essentially, some of the business leaders don't believe in CRM / pipeline management but we think numbers speak for themselves so we...

Has anyone managed to get Amex to issue an Explorere instead of a Reserve as a (fee-free) companion card? I'd much prefer the 1.5 points per dollar spend +$400 travel credit than the free flight with the reserve.

Registration starts 10 May

Flew QF9/10 in March and had the old videos too

I got 2.81 points per dollar on the DM gift card purchase on my Plat Edge (1 point per dollar on Charge and Reserve) so I got 225 points for the $80 spend... weird

+1. I got the card with the 120k bonus points and asked to be transferred over to a PA card but was told I had to reapply. (Wondering if I'll get the 100k bonus points again as it sounds like Amex treat the PA card as a separate product... I might be too optimistic here...)

AMEX Plat Charge will cover your trip redeemed through points if you charge the fees and taxes to the card. If AMEX is not accepted (and if you can prove it), they'll cover you too.
