    Credit Card Offers Amex Explorer Offers & Discussion

    Even though they rejected my application, likely due to churning, I'm still seeing the 70k personalized offer. I'll probably try again in 90 days as suggested in the AMEX rejection thread - I'd like to keep this card, mostly due to the annual travel credit and lounge access..

    AMEX rejection

    First decline for me. Applied for an Amex Explorer with 70k bonus points on the 31/12/2024, and today I got a physical letter in the post (dated the 30/12/2024!) advising I'd been rejected "based wholly or partly on your credit information received etc." I guess it's due to churning since my...

    Credit Card Offers Amex Explorer Offers & Discussion

    Not sure if anyone else is seeing this. I've just applied for a Amex Explorer card and got a 'personalized offer' with 70k bonus points (awaiting approval now🤞).

    Surfshark VPN referral

    Just noticed my VPN provider Surfshark has a referral program. I've been using them for about 6 months and haven't had any dramas with streaming or to bypass geo restrictions, both at home here in Aust and also during our Euro holiday last month. The referral gives you and me a free 30 days...

    Credit Card Offers Westpac Altitude Platinum Offers: 80,000 Qantas/Velocity Points or 120,000 Altitude Points (expires 30/4/25)

    Did your bonus points end up appearing in the second month? I received my card last week and will hit minimum spend shortly, shouldn't be any dramas with exclusion as it's the first Westpac card I've had. Hopefully my bonus points come before the 30th September to retain PC+ (need about 50k)...

    Jetstar BKK to MEL - classic reward J any lounge access?

    Just a quick update on this one... We've just checked our bags for this flight now, and they gave us passes to the miracle lounge, so I guess they've revised this entitlement with an 'ordinary' J classic reward

    BKK international lounge options

    Any recommendation for purchased lounge access at BKK? We're transiting in June for about 5.5 hours with no lounge entitlement (IST- BKK, then self transfer BKK-MEL). Though maybe I'm overestimating free time as will need to clear customs and pickup/recheck luggage..
