New Amex statement credits

[lilkid28]

For those who used the Freedom offer, did the store still have the AMEX surcharge? (IIRC when I last shopped there earlier this year, there was no charge for Visa/MC and a 1.9% fee or thereabouts for AMEX and Diners.)

Also, made use of the latest Hilton offer this week at HSW. No issue splitting payment across two cards at the front desk for $300 back on a $600 stay. Very happy - very likely would have booked elsewhere otherwise.

No surcharge at all.

I was happily told "No surcharge if paying with Amex" when I took card out.

Just got a $20 movie voucher for using my amex 5x through Samsung Pay. Offer expires today.

I must have been unlucky with my HN purchase. No dramas splitting my camera 7 ways, but the sales person made me feel like I was buying a Camira in the 80s. Stuffed around with price before finally agreeing to "match" HNs own online price! Then pulled the hard sell for extended warranty to the point he said "I don't think I can sell this to you without product care".

I'd never rush into a HN if I could avoid it.

That's what I remember from the late 1990s, early 2000s...

But my recent experience was totally different, negotiated price down LOWER than competitors advertisements, and gave me a "deal" on the basis of purchasing multiple appliances. Realised I wouldn't really want extra care, offered it, but no push when I declined.

I really can't speak highly enough of my 29 December 2016 interaction. Goods delivered next week, so let's see how that goes.

Now the 1st has clocked over in the whole of Oz, the available statement credit offers are looking very poor indeed. One on two cards and three on another (and none worthwhile).

Lets hope that Amex start the new year off with something 'tasty' on Tuesday.

I've got no offers. 2017 better not be the year that AMEX abandons these types of offers.

I don't think it likely, though personally I would love it if they went back to more lucrative point promos.


However I think that like in 2016 the rebate offers will again peak in the perceived pre-xmas shopping season.

Amex credits 2016 - 3900
Amex credits 2017 - nil (YTD)

Is it too early to be whingeing?

Nope.

AMEX have set a high standard for generous offers in 2016. I'm expecting great things from them in 2017 and have 20 household cards ready to pounce.

If the offers fall away I'll soon cancel my accounts.

Another 3 lots of Shop Smalls (May, September and the main November event), and more Langton's/HN/Myer/DJ/Click Frenzy offers would be nice.

Amex would probably like you to cancel at least 75% of those cards as it would be costing them money for you to have them.

Not going to happen unless the cash back offers stop.

I'm sure Amex is doing just fine, no one in their right mind would run a business at a loss

No surcharge at all.

Other thing with Hilton is that the any of thier services like Spa, Resturant, Bars 'should' be covered under the deal.

Thanks AMEX. 20% off gift cards

And thanks Dr Ralph for the manual link - some of my cards didn't get the offer.
