Is the 'spend' on anything? Are bills included electricity, rates, water ..even ATO payment?

 

[fruit_loops]

If anyone else is going for this thats new, it's everything, bills, rates even ATO payment.

Is there a minimum credit limit on the card to qualify for the bonus please? Does a 5K limit still qualify?

Don't see an issue with the minimum limit

You'll be fine with that. I have a 5k limit and just got my bonus yesterday.

I was naughty this Black Friday

Applied on the weekend. No comms from Amex as yet. Seems to be taking a while. Maybe a sudden rush has overwhelmed them before the end date. I don’t remember cc applications taking this long.

 

[get me outta here]

Phoned Amex to check on my application. Now approved and plotting the necessary spend.

Anybody with a recent experience of buying gift cards qualifying for the $3K spend necessary for the bonus?

Also, any recent experience on government spend getting points, please.

(Thinking of the WOW gc offer of 20 points on Apple cards).

This is fine. They have no idea what you are buying at Woolworths

Thanks for that, what about govt spend?

This is fine. They have no idea what you are buying at Woolworths

So the offer now is back to 100k points & 4k spend?

 

[cove]

Some of our staff qualified in time on the bigger offer. Some were ineligible.

How long does it take for the bonus sign up points to hit?
Did my first month of payment a week ago but it still hasn’t hit my account
