New Amex statement credits

[exceladdict]

Glad to share that both my other credits posted from $300 and $305.50 purchases, one on a bank issued amex.

They lied three times in a row (changing their story each time) at my local HN until they admitted that they just did not want to sell me a vpay voucher (and not knowing how I wanted to pay).

This suggests to me that HN are funding a decent portion of the cashback... Reminds me of when WOW were mysteriously out of stock of the Perfect Gift Cards during the $10WWR cashback scenario. Which store denied vpay to you?

HN City West. I was able to get 3/$300 vpay there at the start of the promo, but I am having troubles with the PIN on my Charge so I was looking to pick up my last statement credit this morning.

Not long returned from HN at Fyshwick, having bought a new dishwasher. Staff were OK with splitting it across five Amex cards.

2. Over zealous and power tripping employees and managers. This I find this scenario more likely.

Perhaps, but purely from a business perspective the Amex promo rebate going onto Vpay purchases can hardly be a good thing for either Amex or HN.

HN would want to be currying favour by helping HN to generate large revenue and profit.

HN would be hoping that lots of willing spenders would have come in and bought either goods, or even HN GCs as the spend ends up with them sooner or later.


I don't know what the commission on selling VP is, but it cannot be too large?? I would imagine it is far less than they would make on goods or HNs GCs, which also would have some wastage. Though mayne HN Head Office gets to pocket the wastage rather than the franchisse.

Certainly if a lot of the rebate ends up going to VPay, it will mean that the promo as generous as this would not be run again when VPay is available at the targeted store, as why would they?


I doubt that spend going on Apple Products, etc or HN GCs will phase them as HN still get the spend.

No luck for me yesterday. The the vPay 'terminal' had a pink sticky note on it saying 'No vPay' at my local HN. Didn't check again today, but will be back there next week.

The signs have been there a while. If you really want the cashback try to find a store that does it even if out of the way.

We may not see this promotion again.

Maybe worth a day trip to the country. Can't see the dubbo or orange stores having an issue with high end Amex card holders playing the system!

Anyone who panicked can relax and breathe, the HN deal is very much alive! Activated new card today, successfully purchased Vpay, moved funds to Coles MC and got cash out at Westpac ATM. Works a treat.

Two interesting observations:
- The new Vpay expiry date is only until Nov 18 unlike previous vouchers which were until Jun 19.
- The seller at HN said sometimes the terminal doesn't work for $300 vouchers because Vpay have daily limits but next day it will reset and work again.

Is anyone else seeing a lot more merchants on this website than advertised, including Dan Murphy's?

Good pickup.
Its confusing that they call this "ONLINE RETAIL" as one of your saved offers on your account page.

Yes but they are not included in the Amex 'ONLINE RETAIL offer' - there is a very specific list of retailers for that and Dans is not one of them.

I've somehow missed this, how does this work? You buy a voucher that you can fund a credit/debit card and withdraw as cold hard cash??

It has been comprehensively discussed over the past 10-15 pages. Won't take long to read.

Which state Is vpay purchasing working in.... All or just outside of Vic?
Is it now select HN or all?

Also do you need multiple email accounts to activate multiple vpay vouchers?

Still ok at my local HN in Tas. I am the only one buying Vpay vouchers at that store and the first to do so in over 6 months so they tell me. They get the franchisee / manager to do the transaction each time but I think it is because they don't know how, as he doesn't seem to have an issue.

Also do you need multiple email accounts to activate multiple vpay vouchers?

I activated the first Vpay voucher and used the credit via methods discussed earlier in the thread. I then activated the next Vpay with all of the same details (name, address, email, password etc) and again immediately used the credit without any issues.
Rinse and repeat

A4 sign at act canberra store saying Amex customers not to buy gift cards or vpay . They said to check terms and conditions . Was in a rush so didn't ask them what if I was willing to risk of not receiving the credit .

I used the online retail offer to just pickup some Giesen from Boccaccio. Worked out to $6.60 per bottle delivered so is pretty good value to just have around for summer

I went to HN Broadway (NSW) yesterday and was told payments on multiple Amex cards not allowed.

Called HN @ Domayne Alexandria, and the guy in the phone department said "no problem" and that he had read online that HN Broadway was being difficult . Happy to report that I picked up an iPhone 7 128gb for a net cost of $829, with a TRS credit to come yet (assuming the queue is not too long) - the cashier lady even said "let me guess, you want to pay in $300 per card!", so HN Alexandria are definitely on board with this promo!

Where did you get the Air under $500? I went to HN today and 32GB was $546 and they wouldn't budge. Had to buy a case to make the order over $600 then paid with 2 cards.

Weird shopping experience with them. When trying to pay with 2 amex cards, the girl had to ask a manager but couldn't get him. Then another guy came in and said they could do multiple payments but only 1 amex card allowed. I told them to cancel the order and that was when they said 2 Amex cards were fine. The girl couldn't understand why the manager had an issue with over 1 amex card. Glad he wasn't there. Got amex emails pretty much straight away.

Couldn't complain about this 32GB Air 2 + Case for $400. TRS will bring it down under $350.

I added their product care to make the order over $600. I kept declining until it became $28 (from $89). For this branch (Broadway), I read on Ozbargain that the manager was quite funny about Amex promo. He didn't want to sell even gift cards and told customer that he would inform Amex that the transactions were for gift cards which were eligible. I thought buying products would be fine. He wasn't around when I was there anyway.

Pretty sure Domayne is not included in the deal. Better double check.

How did you get such a good price? it's 14.99 so even at 50% off using max discount its 7.5 a bottle - unless you used a coupon or something?
Too bad they don't have gift cards!
