AMEX Platinum Charge Card now 120,000 points!

[Cerca]

Yeah AMEX is really quick with the points unlike the other cards I hold - you pretty much get credited points right after you spend.

As for the referral points, like someone else on here mentioned, I managed to get mine before I even hit the $1,000 spend.

Doesn't look like I am getting my 120K then - spent close to $2000 on Thursday and Friday - and I don't even have the points for the individual spends yet.

FARK.

Yeah, seems to be a bit sluggish for me too. Spent $1200 on the weekend and nothing yet....hopefully they come through though.

Have your transactions cleared? That is, proceeded past "Pending"?

 

[MikeeB]

Haha! What do ya know. I just logged on to check again and there they are!

Also a MASSIVE thank you to whoever has used my referral link to sign up in the last week :mrgreen:

Awesome! Glad your points posted so timely. A referral sweetens it perfectly!

I keep checking for any surprise 60k points entries but alas none to date .

I spoke too soon.

The points popped into my account almost immediately after I posted that I wouldn't receive anything!! Haha. WOOHOO!!

I should note that I got my 120K even though I rang up and was told by the operator that I would not be getting any bonuses.

Again, if anyone hasn't applied and is thinking, I would be super duper grateful if you used my referral: http://amex.com.au/refer/duydPto8?CPID=100199913

I'm really please to hear that, it was certainly what I had expected would happen for you, but you did have me a little worried there for a while!

Enjoy your points haul!

I'll also throw my referral into the mix. Great outcome btw Cerca. Gives me confident to apply other Amex credit card.

Thanks guys - pretty chuffed with the outcome.

Quick question - how do I enrol my Hilton Honors and SPG for gold status?

Also, I had a priority pass account before with Citibank - do I need a new account now or I can link the old account to the Platinum Charge to get the access benefits?

 

[MikeeB]

I did my SPG online through my AMEX account, there's a section where you put your SPG membership number if you already have an account with them. I found it to be a little difficult to find, but eventually through the benefits directory I came across it. Hope that is of some help

As has been mentioned to enrollment for the SPG and HH benefits can be done online via the benefits directory.

For the Priority Pass access you'll need a new Priority Pass account, which you can arrange by phoning the AMEX Plat Charge line. You can't enroll for Priority Pass online for some reason.

I recognise the spruiking of referrals is probably a bit tiresome, but I would also genuinely appreciate any referrals that might come my way before the promotion ends as it will be funding a trip overseas where I will be proposing to my girlfriend (who thankfully has no idea about these forums).

Unfortunately, I don't have anything new to add that isn't discussed on here - it's shameless self promotion.

So, I am about 17,000 points short for my RTW trip with my new wife. A referral would put us over the line.
This is a great card and well worth the money.
