New Amex statement credits

[SeaWolf]

2nd time for me. I’m happy with the combined $800 credit, but $1200 would be even better.

Second time for me as well, if these become a regular, standard feature then I'll definitely be keeping the card.

Also got it on my plat charge personal

Doubt it will be a standard feature. I think it's a temporary measure to keep members happy while covid limits our ability to use the card's travel perks.

was hoping the offer will turn up on explorer/edge, but no cigar this time,

so jealous

Was done (for the second time) to compensate / offset the cost for members who are paying high annual fee but can’t use most of the Plat card benefits. Explorer annual fee is covered by the travel voucher which was extended beyond it’s 1 year expiry.

So just confirming the $400 supermarket cashback offer: purchase of giftcards bought online not eligible, but if bought in-store then ok?

Even better, just buy the visa one prepaid card for $507.95 and you can use it anywhere visa is accepted, $8 is a small price to pay unless you know you will spend that much at Woolworths.

Why do that? there would be sonething wrong If one person could not spend 400 in 5 mths on food

You can pick up supermarket gift vouchers for some percentage off quite easily. This $400 could be used where no further discounts are possible perhaps

 

[tinkybelle]

5% off is not really a big deal

5% off is not really a big deal

Given that interest rates for cash are < 1.00% (pre-tax) then I'll take a 5% (after tax) risk free return every chance I can!

 

[tinkybelle]

I have more to do with my time to save $20 on $400 less $7.95 so saving $12.05 total when i can just use the card for next 6 mths at leisure

Horses for courses.

I may end up using the spend on GCs, not for the discount but simply because I don't shop much at Coles, Woolies or Harris Farm unless there's a compelling Flybuys/WWR spend x get y promo.

Love to see what retailers will be in the new clothing offer on 1 feb Hope its not those useless online group

I haven’t seen a mention of this in AFF but I may have missed it. But the offer that is coming 1 Feb is a new Platinum Charge offering.

Changes Coming to American Express Platinum | Flight Hacks

The top tier American Express Platinum card has been in my wallet for a few years now and starting next month; we’ll see a brand new benefit added to the Card. If you’re a sucker for high-end fashion…

Some of those clothes are hideous!

Honestly it truly is rubbish. An offer on an Australian card where you have to pay in foreign currency and get slugged silly fees. That really is poor. A much better incentive would just be to forget Net-A-Porter and Mr Porter and get rid of the 3% foreign transaction fee. That would be a great improvement on this card.
