I haven’t seen a mention of this in AFF but I may have missed it. But the offer that is coming 1 Feb is a new Platinum Charge offering. https://flighthacks.com.au/changes-coming-to-american-express-platinum/

Yeah, personal preference I guess. I do have 2 x Accor nights yo redeem as well. They’re piling up. I may have to book in some regional travel. But once I do that, I’ll have another two lots of new travel credits added to my account soon!

That’s a good point too. I have got 4 separate travel credits on my account right now.

Has anybody had an extended travel credit re-extended for a second time? I wish Amex would just allow travel credits under ascent (and ascent premium) to be used for shopping at say the Qantas store or David Jones. I also have extended travel credits expiring in March but still have no good way...

I’ll be keeping this card for now. I was about to cancel and apply for a Bankwest Zero Platinum but then released I spent enough last year for a $100 gift card, which almost covers the $120 annual fee. If I already had another no forex fee card, I’d cancel. I just don’t want a hit to my credit...

I’ve got bunch of transactions left to finish with shop small but probably won’t be able to head out today. Has anyone had any “worthwhile” online shop small purchases of some sort of gift card? For example I can see Hairhouse warehouse sells eGiftcards.

Thanks @Ken1 for calling Amex and Accor Plus. I have an extra night on my account too now. Though I didn’t get an email. I honestly feel your phone calls have directly helped to resolve this. I don’t think Amex were adequately dealing with this issue and Accor were not treating its Amex based...

As mentioned earlier, my account is due to be renewed this month. I logged into my Accor plus account and can see that my new free stay has been added. I have 2 nights available now. However, the older night I haven’t used is still due to expire this month so it looks like no expiry extension...

I won’t be cancelling my card either FWIW. I’ve held this card for a decade now. Whilst the benefits may not be there in the next 12 months, the benefits over the last few months have offset a lot of the lost benefits so I’ll take a chance that Amex will come up with similar promotions to offset...

My card is due for renewal this month. I certainly did not think that $1,450 is insignificant. For that matter, I only pay $1,200 for my card and I struggle to see that amount of value in the next 12 months. $1,200 may not make a big difference in my life but I can think of many things to do...

Thanks Ken1, I am personally ok with Accor not extending by 6 months if it means the new free night is issued upon card renewal. Extending by 6 months means we lose half an Accor benefit anyway (in an Amex renewal year). I’ll just book something in for as far out as possible. I just wanted to...

Hello, hope it’s ok to use this thread. I have a platinum charge card. My renewal is coming up in August. However, my travel credit hasn’t been extended and neither has my complimentary Accor plus free night. I thought that Accor memberships and the free night and the $450 travel credit expiring...

Perhaps Amex should issue some sort of lounge card to Amex plat charge card holders. I would not want the lounges filled with people who should not be there.

" ++ The basic Platinum member must be travelling with Virgin Australia. Access is to Virgin Australia branded lounges in Australia. Name on boarding pass must match the name on the Platinum card. The Platinum Card member must present his or her valid American Express Platinum Card and same day...

Mine too. They seem to take a day longer than others.

Wow!, I got that same message, word for word on 6th Feb. still no response.

Did anyone who got declined ever get asked to send in their payslips?

I called SQ to add my velocity number but they told me to add it at the airport. Did so in Singapore. However, I had to clarify that my card was not a virgin Atlantic VS card. Won't know if it's worked until I get the points.

Has anyone who's flown SQ since being able to earn velocity points received their velocity points yet? I flew with them last week so was wondering how long it takes for the points and status credits to post.

I applied on the 26th August. I think it was only upgraded yesterday to Gold so I guess it can take this long. I was thinking it'd never happen as well.
