Explorer

We've been through this before. The Explorer does not have reduced earn rates for utilities.

AMEX used to pay 1ppd for any Paypal transaction, but it seems that from May their systems have improved and they are paying 0.5 ppd for Paypal transactions to utilities like Telstra and Sydney Water.

Yes, I know. I was pointing out that the Explorer would pay 2ppd via Paypal or direct to the utility company because it does not have a reduced earn rate whereas the Charge, Egde and Reserve do have reduced earn rates.

Yes, although circa April when they flicked the switch and went to 0.5ppd for PostBillPay through PayPal, that did seem to apply to Explorer too (presumably because "Australia Post" is government, which is reduced for Explorer). However, that seems to have been corrected now, maybe because most of the things paid through PostBillPay are in fact utilities?

3 of my family's accounts have just received a Fathers' Day 10K Flybuys on a $100 Coles Gift Mastercard offer. Max 100K Flybuys (i.e 10 cards) per account. Valid to 4th Sep
I suspect this will be general rather than targetted though its not in current catalogue
Some good news on the GC front

Recent offers like this have been targeted.

The general offers have been limited to just 1 card.

Nice. Nothing for me unfortunately.

Just noticed that I am no longer receiving 3ppd on e-gift card purchases made with Plat Edge - changed as of late last week

Anyone else experiencing the same?

Now receiving a standard 1ppd

Where did you purchase them?

But I can't see how it makes any difference now. You can't use those eWISH card to buy gift cards in store anymore, so you'll still get 3 points per dollar when you do actually spend inside the store on other items. So nothing has actually changed.

They've been having problems with Edge in general of late... I have normal petrol and supermarket spend showing up as 1ppd for August 24, and had to ask for a manual adjustment.
