New Amex statement credits

Got the LL offer on all 3 of my cards. Has anyone found any other way to trigger it (buying gift cards online or purchasing through partner stores)? My grog is cheaper elsewhere and nearest store to get Coles Myer GCs from is too far away.

That's pretty normal nowadays, not many sizeable cashback deals on supps these days

Has anyone used their Net-a-Porter/Mr Porter credit and had to return their purchase, does the credit get reversed? Needing to return a pair of shoes but I'll be cutting it close to the 30 June credit expiry (if it's re-issued and I need to re-spend).

The Amex Travel online one will be a nice addition if you use your Amex travel credit for a hotel. Means you can book $700 worth of hotel accommodation and only be $200 out of pocket if combined with the $450 credit.

As more often than not, just issued 2 Qantas air tickets via Amex Travel yesterday using my travel credits plus additional payment. Thought I was smart/lucky and then…

If you look at the terms of the current cashback offer you'll see it's for hotels and car hire only.

Don't feel too bad. The 250/50 offer excludes flightls. Hotels and car rentals only (although might include bundles).

Makes sense given Qantas have just cut agent commissions.

I was told once by Amex Travel that they don't actually make any money on economy (maybe domestic only) Qantas flight sales. Not sure I actually believed that though.

I was told the same by a local travel agent (small business)

This is why they try to pressure you to book land components (hotel, car hire or insurance) to make money.
