Strategy to obtain US Amex

[Grrr]

Origin Electricity bill - to prove Australian address

Has anyone had success using a Tello invoice as their utility bill to prove address ?

Chase cards worked there as well. The funny thing is my Australian cards never worked at giftcards.com.au. While the category was groceries at Chase, merchant type was miscellaneous general merchandise, not grocery stores and supermarkets like when using at Coles stores. Aeroplan card does not get 3x.

Just trying to get clear, does CSP get 3x supermarket spend category at giftcards.com.au - shows as "COLES GROUP LIMITED - H HAWTHORN EAST" on my Amex AU statement and I'm aware it does qualify as "supermarket" spend for AMEX Edge card in AU.

Last I tried, no. I'm fairly sure they're checking more than just what the merchant categorises themselves as.

Thanks for the heads up. Shame it doesn’t.

Oddly enough, if you purchase groceries via Coles Online. It actually works. Just not giftcards.com.au.

Amex Aspire arrived. Booked a one-way vanilla flight on Virgin Australia. Codes as "other - miscellaneous" (somehow???). Can I still expect 7x points?

Yep give it some time, should also trigger the quarterly $50 flight credit.
