    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Not the Platinum, but my Priority Pass on my Citi card was cancelled about a week after cancelling the card the PP was attached as a benefit to, despite the PP renewal date being July 2024. I would imagine the same would happen with Amex.

    Qantas Amex Ultimate vs Platinum

    The short answer is probably the Ultimate to take advantage of the 100k Qantas points on offer atm. Amex is usually pretty happy to add new cards for someone who has a history with them, so you can always get the Platinum after the fact if you find it suits your needs better. The long answer is...

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    I realise I’m probably in the minority, but because I get AFR access through work anyway, I actually like they switched to The Australian which also provides access to WSJ.

    Access to AMEX lounge without physical card?

    Unless they've changed it in the past 3 months, a friend of mine received a physical Priority Pass card when she got her Platinum card in Feb / Mar.

    They’re not sponsoring it this year, so no lounge.

    Travel Insurance Eligiblity - Qantas Ultimate

    Amex really needs to relax their insurance eligibility (ie as long as taxes are paid) or at least provide clarity on when a card holder is covered. I suppose it’s a bit better for Platinum card holders because we can bank our points and transfer them when you have enough for whatever flight...

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    The international cover for the Platinum is a complete joke. It’s way too ambiguous re points - I don’t even know if I’m covered if I’m using points I’ve earned on my Qantas Ultimate card! And the need to use the card to pay the *entire* fair is way too restrictive. I have a flight credit with...

    I would just use the Amex app. If you go to the Membership tab and select ‘Find a Lounge’, the app will show you all domestic and international lounges you’re able to access with the card. For those that require Priority Pass, they’ll be clearly labelled as requiring enrolment.

    Entertainment Lounge Experiences

    Have been to the Qudos one. Helpful to skip the lines to get a few drinks, but the insanely low ceilings make the place feel like a bit of an afterthought. They used to offer free bottles of water but it’s been swapped out with 10% off F&B when paying with Amex.

    Do Citi have a '12 month' rule?

    I have a Citi Rewards card and also successfully applied for the Citi Premier card with the $600 cashback. Called both before the application and after the approval to confirm my eligibility for the other. Currently still have both cards open.

    Can’t see why’d they would do this if they’re not going to do it to all the cards that have a travel credit eventually. The days are probably numbered for those with a Platinum Reserve TC.

    Amex Platinum $200 "Dining credit" towards a list of Global Restaurants

    I was in Japan 2 weeks ago and planned to use my credit whilst there. Checked the Amex site to find a restaurant and it said that the offer was temporarily suspended in Japan, checked a few days after I got back to Aus and it was active again. Infuriating as I probably won’t be overseas again...

    No payslip/tax statement requirement?

    Whoops I meant Platinum Reserve

    No payslip/tax statement requirement?

    I'm not sure this is entirely true, as credit card providers have a responsibility to make sure the product is 'suitable' for the consumer applying. Lenders have to make sure that you have the ability to service the revolving credit, whilst there is no such need for charge cards (and therefore...

    AMEX Minimum Income

    If it’s any help, I applied for the Amex Platinum with an income substantially below the minimum income and was approved. At the time I had probably a 2 year account history with them and had always paid my card in full after receiving my monthly statement.

    Upgrade offer from Amex Explorer to Amex Platinum?

    I tried earlier in the year to do an upgrade and was told the same thing as what the second agent said. I gave the upgrade link a go and it said not eligible. Even though there must be scenarios where you can upgrade (as the link demonstrates), I haven’t heard anyone be offered an upgrade in a...

    Seconding this, I also stayed at Hilton on Little Queen St and the $150 was posted to my account after about a week from when I made the booking.
