Do you have to have an Amex platinum edge to get the referral bonus? What happens if you have a different type of Amex? Are you still eligible for the bonus?

You can only refer within the class of card that you have. If you have a Plat.Edge you cannot refer a business card for instance.

Interesting the referafriend link provided above. I emailed Amex and their response was there was no promotion running at this time. :confused:

In my experience, they only find out by googling themselves, a "search on the internal database" gives a negative result on their own promotions.

It was only after doing an internal database search that I emailed. The issue I see is that of not receiving points for a referral. You call them up, email, whatever to press the point and they turn around and tell you your account is not linked to any referral promotion. After missing a couple of referral bonii due to differing card type I became a bit sceptical.

Just picked up 20,000 this morning for 2 referrals last week, so I beg to differ (from the Amex rep).
 
sorry seems that link wasn't too good here is my link to get free card fee airline ticket and 10k:mrgreen:
as long as you have no amex or a bank labeled amex(anz,west pac etc) you still get the bonus and free card.

I thought you could get the bonus provided you hadn't had an Amex issued by American Express during the past 12 months. Do bank-issued e.g., NAB and ANZ) Amex also interfere with this bonus?
 
Oh, not good. And what about the Amex Escape Velocity? We have waited without a native Amex for almost 12 months now (used to have the QF Discovery Amex), so that we could get an Amex bonus with the VA Escape version. Does having a NAB Velocity Visa/Amex combo stop that bonus too?
 
Bank issued Amex don't count. They are not issued by American Express Australia Limited.

I only answered first part of your post wc. Plutonus has answered it fully. Sorry if my response was confusing.
