New Amex statement credits

[zig]

Even with a $20 credit I think I will struggle to find any value on Amazon Australia.

Just as a public service announcement the 10,000 card limit on the Porsche offer has not been reached yet.

 

[SOPOOR]

Sounds logical but again I don't remember spending on Amazon at in the last 12 months using my Amex card but got the offer on my Charge card. Compared to last year , the offers this year are not great.

I got it on one of my cards, ive never used amazon before, or I opened an account and never used it

I very much doubt it

A good one with plenty of time to use.
The US cash back site Rakuten currently has IHG at 10% rebate (and another USD10 off via referral-see the referral thread)

I received an email this morning to spend $300 on QANTAS with my AMEX and get 5000 bonus points (limited to first 15,000 cards). Logged into the app at 11:45am and can't find it. Did 15,000 people get in before me?

Has taken some effort, but I will today complete my 75th small shop purchase.

I don't think this would be possible if I was a teetotaler, vegan, non pastry loving person that didn't take prescription medicine and use public transport.

How do you know so much about me?

I think this is pretty much everyone that uses small shop

GYG seems to be full already?

I saw it on my Edge, made a mental note to check my Plat and not greedily activate across all cards, got to work, checked Plat, not obvious, found AmexConnect link...full!

I've activated Grilld and Uber Eats now, but GYG is preferred to the former and more convenient for in-person transactions than the latter (plus Uber Eats can use discounted Uber gift cards bought at supermarkets).

 

[SeaWolf]

Just be careful to check the conditions, I've noticed that the Grill'd spend must be in one transaction, whereas Uber Eats is valid if the spend is in one or more transactions.

Grilld do gift cards. May be worth doing the spend that way so you aren’t hamstrung by having to demolish $25 worth of burgers in one sitting.

I'd just caution buying gift cards unless you intend to use them quickly.

There have been a large number of chains just like Grill'd that have recently gone bust.

Eg: Italian restaurant chain Criniti's collapses into administration

Seems the food offers are subscribed. No mention of them online despite only getting the email 3hrs ago. I preferred it when amexes weren't popular

Oh, I had no idea Criniti's had gone under! I liked going there because of its enormous menu. There was something for everyone on that menu, no matter your mood or dietary requirements.
