New Amex statement credits

Can anyone confirm they got the cash back by buying gift cards online?

Confirmed.

 

[Dr Ralph]

Confirmed.

Thanks @boomy I assume you used the eway payment option? Or was it the stripe option? Just want to make sure the purchase tracks correctly for the cashback.

I used the eway option. From past experience Stripe is considered 3rd party payment and doesn’t trigger cashback.

Thanks @boomy. AMEX tracking email came for me very quickly.

Perhaps the offer has already reached its maximum. There are only 7k spots.

Also see an Adina Apartment offer I think is new....still not buying.

The virgin offer is still available. ...I just registered 4 of my cards. That's the maximum I'm planning to spend with VA. I got it on all my Explorer and Edge cards including supps.

 

[NoName]

Virgin offer still there for me. Just registered on Explorer & DJs Platinum

 

[Coops1]

Just as a datapoint, offer is still available on 2 separate cards. This would normally be maxed by mid morning!

Almost 5.5 hours now but still “only” 18 likes and 4 comments. Surprise, surprise!

Not available on my VA cards

Nor on my VA Plat and supp, but available on all my MR cards.
Perhaps VA thinks that people with the branded Velocity cards are already in the VA camp and don't need any more encouragement to book VA, so it was targeted to exclude these. Of course, Qantas would also likely ban AMEX Offers from key rivals from being offered on their own cobrand cards, which leaves the MR cards, it seems.

Just saved VA on Plat Charge and Qantas Ultimate

Offer is on my Qantas cards.
