American Express Rewards vs Westpac Altitude Rewards

I think I'm in the category of having a professional card (AMA/AMSA) with an upcoming rate change. Only thing is I've never recieved the .5 points bonus after reaching the $10000 spend. Wonder if I should chase this up... Could end up a bit like the 5000 points promo.

Also, this is my first targeted offer (from memory). The only way I knew such offers existed was from the kind souls on this board. Pity they've clamped down now but what else could we expect?

...Which is why the Amex Maximiser has been the most generous CC I have ever had.

Which card is the Amex Maximiser?

I've looked on the Amex website and can see no card with that name.

I'm also trying to figure out what to do with my Amex cards - I currently have a green charge card and a QF Amex Ultimate card.

Thanks in advance, PW

Amex have not been promoting the maximizer card for quite a whule..

You may be able to still get one, but a lot of the old links no longer work.

This one may work but there's no gaurantee:

AMEX

mmmmm

It has been hard to find fora while...but links still worked.

About last September my wife joined up on 5000 point bonus and alos gained it fee-free for the first 12 months.

However all the links just seem to take you to the Gold Card, that has an ean rate of only 1.0.

If you want it you could try ringing up and asking for it to see if it is still available.

But perhaps it is gone now.

Alos note that points on it drop from 1.5 to 1.25 after April 1.

The Westpac combined Visa/Amex card that I have is good for account reconciling each month. Even if a vendor doesn't accept the Amex, using my Visa it still prints onto the one statement each month.

So, majority of points still earned but for the exceptions, the charge still appears onthe one statement.

I find that handy as my accounts people just have to find one batch of receipts and make one payment to settle the cards.
