Strategy to obtain US Amex

[levelnine]

Has anyone worked out the pattern as to what airfares appear on Amex's International Airline Program page?

For example, for SYD-LHR on Qantas, it will show airfares via PER & SIN on QF metal as well as EK codeshares. However, for MEL-LHR on Qantas, it almost always only shows EK codeshares — the appearance of QF metal is fairly rare.

I was buying Activ gift cards at Officeworks with my Chase Ink Cash for 5x and using those to pay my bills but I stopped this for now while the AUD is crashing. I would only do it for making the minimum spend.
