my points have been credited!
6 months after the promotion!!
and after nightamres of phonecalls and hypocritices from the CBA
ok,
so ive called the bank and worked it out
apparently ive already hit my cap of 80,000 points on the amex...
is there any other alternatives I can do to maximise my points unti lthe end of hte year??
I also have a citibank plat visa card which does 1:1
so I m thinking of using that one, why give amex more money if the rewards are going to be the same.....
im very annoyed now.............. i didn't think I would get to 80,000 this quickly...
The limits are:
50,000 points for Awards
100,000 points for Gold
150,000 points for Platinum
So the 80,000 is wrong but it could be that you've hit your limit for the year.

ive got platinum, so wou;d that be 150,000 QFF points or 150,000 CBA points which in essence would be 50,000 dollars in spenditure???
and im assuming its from 1 jan every year...
That's 150,000 Awards points, 75,000 QFF points.

great summRy,The cap for the CBA platinum Amex is 120,000 CBA points if you elect for QF direct. It's 150,000 CBA points if you don't elect to take QFF points:
What is the annual Commonwealth Awards points cap on my Platinum Awards credit card account?
What this means that if you want QFF points you can only spend $40,000 per year on your CBA platinum amex because:
$40,000 = 120,000 CBA points = 60,000 QFF points = the cap
If you spend more than $40,000 you get reduced to a much lower conversion rate which is itself capped. What this means for me and the CBA is that instead of potentially spending over $250,000 pa on their cards I now spend $40,000 with the rest going to the Citibank and Amex cards I got once these ridiculous caps were brought in.

has anybody called to ask about the points capping.
its so damn confusing, even the sales person half way through ended up stopping because it what she was saying made no sense at all
my initial enquiry was that since im now capped does it automatically get reset on 1/1
also, to the cap, the lady went on about having 80,000 points on amex and 120,000 points on the visa/MC
which made no sense when she started mentioning conversion rates to QFF points, something about it being 1 Commonweatlh award point being equal to 1.5 QFF points, which obviously is completely wrong...
can anybody clarify
oh and MERRYXMAS EVERYBODY!
