New Amex statement credits

[Mr_Orange]

Just wondering how we can take advantage of this offer , i am currently enrol with RMS E-Toll .

That was my thought (only I'm with Linkt (nee Govia)) and then I remembered that all tolling widgets work all over Australia. I will apply for an E-Way account and load it up with credit and then swap the widget in my car over and use E-Way until the 25% discounted credit has been used up.

So one of my cards still have Spend 200 get 40 back, and now 350 and 50 back, pretty sure this would stack right? i.e. Spend $350 and get $90 back?

I got the QF offer on my Platinum Reserve. Will need to think about using it for one of my upcoming flight bookings.

I would say so, unless the Amex systems have some checking in place to see if a spend has already triggered a credit - but we all know that's not the case .

Only have a few cards to register for the Qantas offer. Previously I have had many more.
Free money is good!

I had 2 offers once on Qantas 2 or 3 years ago and they stacked then.

Received the Qantas Offer on all 3 cards. Likely to come in handy as need to book some domestic flights shortly.

Also received a spend $500 for $175 back for Shangri-la, generous offer.

Have managed to register all my Amex for the Qantas offer now. There is a certain 'schadenfreude' in getting credits for Qantas spend on your Velocity cards.

Bit of an unusual one
Spend NZ$25 and get AU$5 back, up to six times.
The 3% currency conversion fee still applies and doesn't count towards the NZ$25

With relatives in NZ and Xmas coming every chance I will find a use for this, so thanks for the heads up.

You mean you change change the e-tag from Linkt or RMS Etoll to e-way ?

Correct. You can use whatever tag you like in your car.

 

[tinkybelle]

yes my credit came thru for 2 flts and small GC buy, but looks like you can buy gift cards with the FC offer anyway

Which are the best locationd around CBD/Docklands?

Sydneysider here unfortunately! But, for those who work in the CBD (I'm around Martin Place) the following list may be useful:

- Society Convenience Convenience Store (Philip Street)
- Allied Mart (Pitt St)
- MLC Newsagent
- Lucky Charm (Centrepoint)
- Lucky Charm (Galeries)

This run takes all of 30min

Thanks for sharing Saltywings. Were you able to run through multiple cards in the one ‘session’ without any issues and did any merchant charge you a processing fee for using Amex for opal top up?

Last year, I prepaid a uear’s Worth of dry cleaning at l Martini dry cleaners (Barangaroo just underneat Amex building). I couldn’t find them in the guide this year. Are there any dry cleaners around Martin Place/Chifley Square area that other members have used? Going to try the prepaid dry cleaning again this year.
