New Amex statement credits

I was only able to register my primary card, not supps, via the link in my email.
I was able to register my Small Biz card by not checking the "Business card" option... Not sure if it stuck but not expecting to win anyway...
 
Airbnb - 400 / 100
Only got this on my QF Biz card and via email (wasn’t in the new offers list) but appears in my offers after activating.

Pity though, I usually book AirBnB via QF Hotels for the bonus points. Need to check how those payments get charged?

Edit: apparently they go through as AirBnB after all. It’s been a while for me. SYD+1 usually does AirBnBs and I do the hotels.

Handy, my second payment for a NZ stay is being charged today!
I got this, same value, but only on the Plat primary and no supps or other accounts.

And the balance on our Christmas/New Year stay is due the day after this expires, so I've set a reminder to myself a few days earlier to request "pay now".
 
New offers;

Ampol - 50/5 - up to 2 times
Laithwaites - 150 / 50
Sony - 500 / 100
Sportscraft - 150 / 30

Improved offer from Ampol and much easier to use as Ampol sell $50 GCs,

It's the Ampol app. I doubt you can buy gift card through it. I think it probably works like the BPMe offers.
Ah! I didn't check the details - just saw the headline - no wonder it is improved. I hope the Ampol app is better than the early iterations of the BPMe app. I have edited my post.

The recent BPMe offer was good but there are still too many petrol stations that don’t support payment through the app which is annoying. I have a feeling Ampol will have similar issues, particularly at stations that are still branded as Woolworths or EG.

Terms of the offer exclude sites that are WOW or EG, so reduces significantly the number of available sites.

I installed the app and can confirm that it excludes a bunch of stations most convenient for me. And that was definitely one problem with BPMe, the other being how clunky and unresponsive the app is. I'll report back if I manage to successfully pay for petrol with the Ampol app.

I hate the BPMeApp...not all BP stations have it, takes ages to connect and sometimes it doesn't....recently after getting it to connect, then realised the pump was out of order :(

Yeah, I've had it sign me out and then I get to the station and realise and its password reset takes forever and I just had to abandon the app and pay directly, obviating the reason for choosing that station (neither the closest nor cheapest).
 
AirBnB GCs seem a no brainer here assuming the T&C aren't actually enforced.
At this risk of sounding like the drunk guy arguing with an invisible but equally drunk guy in a park.....

I purchased a GC and the merchant shows up as "LGC*AIRBNB GIFTCARD SYDNEY". No email received. Not holding my breath for the credit for this one.

Another important thing to be aware of is that buying Airbnb gift cards won’t trigger the Amex Offer because payment for their gift cards is processed by a third party.Airbnb doesn’t process payments for gift cards themselves. Instead, that’s outsourced to LaunchGiftCards.com

Yeah that's pretty much what my post says.
