Experience with QFF point earn post July 22

[ozflier]

Hi,

I am looking at just how much I will be using my AMEX QFF Premium card in the future.

The travel insurance is still attractive to me I have to admit.

I have tried to check with Amex the earnings rates for supermarket owned subsidiaries eg Dan Murphy and BWS.

In the past , I have used Amex at these places but want to be sure it is worthwhile to continue.

Amex were unable to tell me the earnings apart from Woolworths etc.

Has anyone found out the earning rate at places like the above?

That's a bit strange ... Surely they can tell you?

Only to repeat what the website shows - have asked for more info though and will report back.
