A nice offer for a change. $200 for local dining and $200 for dining abroad.

 

[daft009]

I see 2.
$200 for local and another $200 for global restaurants

 

[sudoer]

Indeed, I missed the fact there are two! This is a significant improvement.

 

[http_x92]

This is a good offer, of course noting that this is dine-in only at select restaurants.

Not going overseas this year unfortunately, but yes I can use it in 2023.

I was about to cancel. Will have to wait a few weeks to cash in here and on my trip to NZ in 2 weeks.

Lucky you didn’t!

Yes, I have $200 credit for local and $200 for overseas.

 

[bam71]

Saved to card!

 

[wsthong]

Great to have these annual credits ($200/$200) as per my understanding?

05 July – 31 December 2022
1 January – 31 December 2023
1 January – 31 December 2024

At the current exchange rate $200 through Pocket Concierge in Japan will go a decent way. I reckon it's about a 15% markup over standard rates, so not bad.

Two good offers on Plat Charge:

Get 100% back up to $AU200 when dine abroad.

Get 100% back up to $AU200 when dine across Australia.

Both offers expire 31/12/24.
Decent list of countries / restaurants https://www.americanexpress.com/en-au/benefits/diningbenefit/

Seeing all these high end restaurants as part of the Global dining offer with Maccas just below on the page, great stuff

 

[muppet]

hmmm my card only has the global offer

 

[SYD]

Pelago - 100 / 40

And the big one

McDonalds - 25 / 5

Both those on my Gold CC but neither (and nothing else) on my Biz card.

The Pelago offer might be useful for me. I’m heading to Singas shortly. Might have to look at something worthwhile to pre-book. Looks like you can also double dip with SQ miles + QFF miles in my case. Not that 100 KF miles is going to make a huge diff in reaching my next redemption.

 

[drron]

And my card has neither offer.

 

[SeaWolf]

And my card has neither offer.

I would just check back tomorrow. I've often found with statement credit offers that they don't appear instantly for everyone at once and that sometimes an offer I don't have will have shown up for me the next morning.

Finally some meaningful benefits that align with the way the card is promoted.
