Correction, I just got the same two offers on my Reserve. Happy days .

Activated the new Reserve last night and the WW and DJ 'Welcome offers' appeared this morning.

I have also received (on the Platinum Charge) what appears to be another targeted welcome offer of spend 200 get 40 back at Platinum Travel Services. T&C's state you can combine with the $300 travel credit (still need to put $200 min on the charge) but spend for the statement credit cannot be on flights.

I have an international qantas award booking I need to make next week. I was cursing the end date of the Amex qantas offer, but does anyone know (apologies for going off topic) if I can use a qantas voucher for taxes on an award booking?

Cannot pay taxes with the voucher. I wish you could!

I've got several vouchers that will soon expire that I have been unable to use because I have been making reward bookings only.

I get this for my non AMEX card:

'Unfortunately this campaign is by invitation only. Please visit http://www.amexconnect.com.au for other fabulous offers.'

The manual link, above, worked for my Edge, Charge and supplementaries.

Good offer, shame flights excluded-had imagined my redemptions before reading terms

Boom time for Amex credits - the party goes on! I have 5 new offers today, not all available on all my cards;

Supercheap Auto - 100/20
Aussies Farmers Direct - 60/20
Estee Lauder - 75/15
Bing Lee - 300/50
Rebel - 50/15

Rumour that SCA is going to have a 20% off sale this weekend.

Am I right that chain hotels booked via Amex travel still qualify for stays/points etc?

I would think so.

It depends on the chain. As an example, Accor Hotels would not accrue any points / stays unless booked directly from the Accor site or with individual brands sites or directly with the hotel.

It does depend. Sometimes the stay will count, but you won't accrue points unless booked directly.

For those with a SCA offer, it is time to buy a giftcard today for the sale tomorrow.

I didn't buy any gift cards but stocked up on oil (combined 36% discount on top shelf oil is pretty much unheard of ), few expensive tools (from the limited SCA non-cough range) and a few odds and ends over 4 of my AMEX cards .

$503 to $332 - win

I scooped 4 Rebel credits yesterday for a single spend in store by splitting payments across 4 cards. $210 spend becomes $150 .

Did you manage this via 4 gift card purchases or were they 4 individual items you bought? I am looking to leverage 3 cards over 2 pairs of shoes with the Rebel July shoe offer (2nd pair half price).

I would think so.

An IHG booking I made last year did not (so I cancelled, rebooked direct and pocketed the statement credit).

Hilton recently denied me diamond benefits for use of a third party booking (flight centre of all places) which was a little annoying, albeit would have been expected if i was up to date on reading the T&Cs.

No, bought shoes and clothes. That offer has ended.
