Enjoy 1 Bonus Point with every $2 you spend

[lovetravellingoz]

Well tally ho..

Just dida run to make the most of the Earth 3 points per $ finishing today.


From tomorrow it is Amex at 1.75 for me....and since my wifes Sup Card evidently will not be credited...I have bought $750 of Gift Cards tonight on my Earth Card for her to use on general shopping and pretrol for a bit and to earn 3 points rather than 1.25 points per $.

I dont believe a word Amex says any more.

If anyone sees the points, as JohnK says, it really will be a "bonus".

 

[Flashback]

Well, I've just put through 2k on my card this morning.. so will be interesting to see how it posts.

I don't have a copy of the T&C with me at the moment; are they mentioning the bonus points will be posted straight away or in 8-10 weeks?

Yes it will be interesting to see how it posts.

It would appear to be an ongoing posting of bonus points. So we should find out early if all is OK.

• Membership Rewards Bonus Points will only be awarded for eligible purchases made after the date of registration and during the promotion period.
• Up to a maximum of 10,000 Membership Rewards Bonus Points can be earned by a registered Cardmember on eligible purchases during each calendar month of the promotion period.
• The Membership Rewards Bonus Points cap will be reset to zero at the beginning of each calendar month whether or not the cap was reached in the preceding calendar month. A maximum of 30,000 Membership Rewards Bonus Points can be earned during the entire promotion period.

Terms and Conditions as posted in the OP.

I just checked my account and all my transactions for the 1st of April had the additional 0.5 bonus points labeled "Accelerator Promo" - 2 points per dollar all up definitely makes the AMEX the card of choice for the next few months, even without QF transfers (my Starwood account can use topping up anyway ).

I can confirm it is also going through OK for me

I thought you knew by now that AMEX does not like you?

Here we go again!!!! I am going to put through a large transaction on 1st April approx $10K. I have called Amex MR and they have advised me that they do not have any record of myself being registered for the promotion. I have also kept a copy of the screen shot showing that I have registered for the promo online. Amex MR have advised me to fax a copy of the letter and card to prove that I was targetted for the promotion. This must be a April fool promotion!!!! A problem even before the promotion starts next week. I will be faxing the letter/card to Amex MR on Mon. Hope that should fix the problem. another amex bungle even before the promotion starts!!!

My problem was fixed on 30 Mar and I am pleased to see my bonus pts being posted today.

How do you guys keep your Telstra bills around/below $30?

'tis my land line, home budget. I needed it for my ADSL!

Has now risen to 20.95/month (ah.. thanks Telstra!), and the remainder of the bill is made up with c/c surcharge and my housemates phonecalls as I don't use the landline for that.

Works here. But my Gold Accelerator has stopped, so I'm still 1.5 points per $.

I am on a $30 plan a month with $25 voice and $5 data included. I have nominated my parents number as the special number I can call for 3 minutes and not pay anything. I always keep an eye out on the time and if I need to talk to them for 10 minutes then I will make 4 short phone calls. I have no need to talk to anyone else regularly and most months I do not even get close to using my $25 voice allowance and I have never used any of the $5 data allowance.

Occasionally I do go over $30/month and that is when I get really depressed. What a waste of money.

Has anyone seen Accelerator points appear for a transaction performed on a card that wasn't targeted for the promotion? Points for my Plat Credit have come through (it was targeted) but a test Plat Charge transaction that I ran yesterday hasn't processed yet and so I can't confirm...

Nope, still waiting for my supp card holder to put through a transaction... *waves fist*

 

[gibspmuh]

I've had supplimentary cardholder transactions go through and earn bonus points as well.
