New Amex statement credits

What's the best way for contacting Amex about missing credits for bank-issued Amexes?

I'm sending them a secure message for the Amex-issued ones...

I am not sure if this has been covered elsewhere but the cheaper $2.95 fee 'red' Westfield gift cards are accepted by Coles regardless of whether the Coles is in a Westfield centre or not. I did this twice today already at 2 different Coles. Just swipe the card, select savings and enter the pin. The receipt says debit card and doesn't print a remaining balance so you need to track that yourself. I wasn't going to bother with getting the maximum Westfield cards but now I will.

Further good news. Tonight I tried using the Westfield 'red' card in Bunnings and yes it worked. Choose savings and input the pin. I am beginning to think the 'XS' card is a Westfield con-trick and I am glad that I didn't fall for it!
 
Just added up the credits since November on 7xAmex's (3+4 Supp). $2100 credit over Accor ($700), HN, BWS, Myer, ShopSmall ($610) :)

Just a normal payg person, putting a little (ok a lot!) of effort into maximising savings.

Highlight of all the deals:
Mercure/Accor Perth: Spent $201....
1 nights accommodation, 2 meals/drinks total came to $195 as Accor gave 50% off a-la-carte menus......$200 bill total was a FAIL......
had to get 2 coffees the next morning to get us over the line!
btw the meals were great..can recommend the pork belly

After having success with a 7-Eleven and café last weekend, I have since used red Westfield card at my Fish and Chip shop and a 10 pin bowling centre. None of these located at Westfield. Would be interested to know where others have used theirs and had them accepted outside of a Westfield.
 
For every $100 spent on Gift Cards at Myer they are giving another $10 Myer card as a bonus until the 11 Dec

updated - it's meant to only be for Myer Gift cards not other types

That's correct. It's supposed to be only MYER gift cards not 'gift cards' in general as jbman has implied.

They tried to get me to buy MYER cards to get the bonus $10. No deal. Coles/Myer cards are so much more flexible to use/give as gifts.

Discussed in detail here:

Where you will also see some reports of mistakes being made and $10 being credited for Coles/Myer gift cards.

I didn't know that, I went to buy a coles/myer one today and the lady at the counter said we have an offer on at the moment where you get a $10 myer gift card as well.

I went to two different counters and bought a coles/myer gift card and was given $10 myer bonus cards each time. I am guessing I was lucky that the staff did not fully know about the t&c's of the offer

Went over to Westfield to buy $400 worth of XS Gift Card only to be told that i am not allow to splited to 4 Amex Card , ended up buying 4 x $100 XS Card with $4.95 fee each .
