Ok so tell me more about acquiring the gift cards without paying the 5 to 7 dollars for each card be it Visa Mastercard or Eftpos and still getting 1 to 3 KF points per dollar
While eftpos can’t be used for online purchases, there are plenty of merchants who aren’t Amex friendly and this would be a nice way of using Amex everywhere for face to face transactions and likely without the surcharges for ‘credit’ purchases.
Can you tell me where I can buy these EFTPOS gift cards please? $2.50 per card of $999 would be great for my points accumulation. I don't have a business.I use my AmEx Reserve to buy EFTPOS gift cards, so that's $1 = 1 SQ mile. No surcharge, only $2.5 per card of $999.
I have no issue with the changes fo supermarkets, and fuel, but normal spend is now reduced to 0.5 KF point per $. Also I am not happy that they are reducing any accumulated points you have. They could have easily reduced the 3 points per $ to 1.5 points per $ for supermarkets and everything else at 1 point per $. They are being sneaky as all other cards they have reduced benefit by 17 to 25%. In relation to oMembership Rewards they have reduced it by 50% on the wholeYour card is 0.75 SQ miles, and $279 annual fee, and only 1 extra card is available.
Comparing against Edge at $195 annual fee with $200 travel credit and 4 free extra cards, which you can justifiy it to effectively $0 annual fee if it suits you.
Of course you would get the STG card if you want the points; but there is a big difference between the annual fees and the number of extra cards you are able to get.
Which is why I keep coming back, that I think some of the criticisms are unjustified / knee jerk reactions.
from April you will only get 0.5 points per $ as normal spend reduces to 0.5 FF point per $I use my AmEx Reserve to buy EFTPOS gift cards, so that's $1 = 1 SQ mile. No surcharge, only $2.5 per card of $999.

Thanks. Wife has similar cover on the S5. I prefer to keep phone in shirt pocket and I have both an S5 and S7 in my pocket as well as train card wallet with other cards. A phone cover would be too bulky for shirt pocket.I have a Spigen Heavy Duty Tough Armor Hard Cover purchased off eBay for $20+ and no screen protector as it wouldn't fit with this case. Hope this helps!
Hey guys so I looked at my point transactions over the last few months and I've been getting 0 points for supermarket spend. Probably tens of thousands of points (@ 3ppd) not awarded..
The travel credits, statement credits, hotel statuses and insurances would still make me favour the Charge (accepting a superior acceptance rate for Prestige)Citibank Prestige now with its 400 000 points offer + solid redemption rates is looking like an alternative to Platinum Charge
Also note the annual fee $700 vs $1400
