Activated mine on receipt and immediately used it to purchase some AA miles (with discount and bonus) for the spend required to get the bonus. Win-win .

Whats the FX charge?!

Don't know. If I assume a 3% mark up on spot, still decent value for AA miles compared to offers over the past 6 months when you convert USc/mile to Ac/mile (and the fact that I have a use for these miles).

Interesting though; the purchase was confirmed by e-mail within a few minutes of purchase, and miles credited. But 6 hours later, the purchase still hasn't shown up on my Amex on-line account. Purchases on my CBA cards post almost immediately to Netbank.

Yeah it takes a while on amex

Re: Best offer yet! AMEX Velocity Platinum with 110,000 bonus!

I cancelled my Amex issued card and applied this two weeks later and got the bonus!

Wow! That's impressive after they said you can't get it if you have had the card in the last twelve months.

Burmans, the issue is with how referral posts are posted, and your link is swamped amongst a sea of links from many people. There are better solution to this and I am making suggestions below:

I used burmans link to get the card and now I'm throwing my hat into the referral ring

Happy for anyone to use it:- https://www316.americanexpress.com/...merHub&MGMURN=AAAABgQTHA0JDw==&CPID=999999484

Just used your link, robd, since burmans seems to have had a few takers already so thought I'd share the love around a bit. Soon as I get my card, I too can toss my hat into the referral ring lets keep the merry-go-round going!

I spent the $1000 within an hour of receiving the card on Tuesday. I can see the bonus points in my Amex account but they have only credited 80,000 points. I guess I'll have to chase the other 30,000.

I did get 3 points per $ at a restaurant. I like that feature.

Can you tell us if you already had an AMEX card and if so, did you decalre it on application? Thanks - planning to apply but can't decide which way to go.

 

[froggerADL]

No, I didn't have an Amex issued card.

Yeah it takes a while on amex

<snip>

My AMEX account is showing the correct remaining balance but is not listing each transaction, some of these transactions are over 48 hours old now, is this normal? As all my other banking accounts show the transaction information almost instantly, even with pending statuses.

<snip>

At first I was really impressed at how slick the AMEX / VA tie up was. By the time the card arrived my VA account had ben credited with the lounge passes. I created an AMEX account on line and it all linked up well.

But now its about 36 hrs since a major first transaction (buying AA miles, which have credited to my AA account) and my AMEX account still shown no transactions on the phone application. I can't log-in on my laptop (page won't load). Not that fussed, just really surprised that the transaction didn't register over-night. I did a couple of domestic card payments today and they haven't appeared either. I guess I've been spoiled by CBA.

So if there's fraudulent transactions on one's AMEX card, you'll probably be oblivious for a few days?

 

[citrusb]

I signed up Mrs citrusb through an earlier referral on the 80k, approved and card received on Wednesday.
Filled in online referral details so I can take up the offer on her link and we both win.
Question? how does her link come through, Amex say they email in few days? How did other FF's receive theirs and how long did it take....thanks​
