Same.

I paid my council rates installment on the new home today. Amex same fee as the also-ran cards, 0.75%. Interestingly the council lists something called JCB as a payment method. A search indicates it is a Japanese issued card.
 
Heads up, 'Special' gift cards seem to have stopped working at supermarkets (the main reason many of us bought them during a recent Amex Offer). Declines at multiple Woolworths locations, and also at Aldi. Haven't tried Coles yet as I still working through some other CG&M vouchers. I've sent an email to Special, we'll see what happens. Worst case scenario, I'll just pursue a chargeback for the remaining balances if they can't be accessed.

This was a dodgy business right from the start. I'd also contact AMEX to tell them of continuing problems with the business.

Already heard back from them, they just quoted their own T&Cs that say they can remove businesses at any time, even after you buy the card, zero apology. Fortunately, there are some 'workarounds' in this regard, given some of the locations where the cards are still accepted (ahem...). I'd never buy from them again though, dodgy is an apt description.

The overly positive reviews on Facebook from their own employees were a flashing red light for me.

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.
Did you ever get the credit for this?
