Dont get me wrong - I still use points *where I can* - flights, hotels etc. But when I travel with the family its hard to find 3 seats to Europe with a short connection time, in that case we just end up buying a ticket. Hotels - we stay at Marriott where we can and take advantage of 5th night...

I dont think the CX transfer bonus applies to Amex transfers?

For reference I got my Centurion earlier this year and since then did 4 overseas trips (two with family two solo). I do my own planning and where I can use points, if not then pay business class. I used my RM for every aspect of the trip and managed to get some great upgrades, saved a ton on...

Centurion holder. Just received email. I wonder if they will bump us from 2.5 up to higher earn to compensate for that. This devaluation makes me question if the annual fee is worth it or not

I was going to go but was overseas... the event looked great and was decent value

I didnt keep track of my timeline but from memory you will get an email from a human saying "hey you expressed interest lets arrange a call"or similar You have a month or so to complete the application. My first offer came in a fancy letter with some merch I think but the 2nd was just email...

I think they were posted here before but the main one for me is the RM. I travel 3-6 months of the year and they just do everything for me. I still book some things by myself but they are particularly good with local help and the Centurion FHR program gives you guarenteed upgrades at time of...

Joined in Jan. Asked but didnt get joining fee waived off. Having said that the savings so far on some of the perks I am getting have made it pretty worthwhile.

Looking at getting my QF wine order with the $50 voucher in order to maximise points. Which ones are good value now as best $ per point? Note I dont even drink so its purely for points.

Most airlines are actually 2:1, SQ is the exception. If you want SQ points there are better ways to get them than Amex

Not really needed now afaik. I never book paid business class and this is the 3rd or 4th time they offered me the card.

Got offered the card last week. Can anyone provide feedback regarding how useful the RM is? What did they get you / couldnt get you?

ATO payments fall under business payments not personal

So what’s the cheapest way to pay the ATO now with Amex Plat Charge? sniip is 1.99% or so, and appears to be the cheapest? Or is there another work around?

Interesting, I called them for Coldplay tickets and they said it was cancelled

I noticed the plat concierge benefit isn’t on the website any more (tickets for shows, restaurants bookings etc) is gone. Amex also confirmed this over the phone (now available only to Centurion) Has there been an announcement? Or any communication about this?

Ok thanks. How did you find this fare? Looking at leaving FCO around 15 Oct and fly back around 1 July 2024

If I book this one, and on the way to Aus I dont take the MEL - BNE segment, will they cancel my return ticket to Europe? And will I have to fly from MEL to BNE just to fly back BNE to MEL?

Yes agree, it works out to be $2k USD = thats an upgrade from basic Marriott to WeHo Edition for the week... much better option

Flying from Sydney, tbh id rather go UA than NZ - prefer the direct flight
