Credit Card Offers St.George Amplify Signature Card Offers & Discussion

[daft009]

Do any Amplify cardholders know if it is possible to see points earned on a transaction-by-transaction basis? Obviously you can see overall balance on the statement, but hoping for a more granular view.

Late but yes once you log in to the points redemption portal

New changes coming.. time to get rid of this card perhaps.

Lower earn rate, 10k per month at full earn.
Earn rate dependent on retailer.
No more birthday bonus

More enhancements.

Time to look for alternatives

Time for me to bid the green dragon farewell, now the program is being scorched.

Bugga... should have transferred points out using last months point bonus

Points earn on all cards are only going to get worse with the crackdown on merchant fees thanks to the Government.

Yes the 10k per month at full earn will be a deal breaker for many.

Earn rate dependent on retailer:

• 3 points/$ for overseas spend (up from 1.5 points?) but the 3% o/s transaction fee makes this a no-go for me
• 2 points/$ on: Most major Australian supermarkets, department stores, petrol stations, dining and utilities (again up from 1.5?). Is this actually an improvement (up to 10k)? Assuming it's still 3:1 for transfers to Kris, then you get 0.66 KrisFlyer Miles per $ (up from 0.5).
• 1 point per $ on other purchases (excluding the usual Govt, BPay, Etc) so only 0.33 Kris/$.

And an annual fee increase and no birthday bonus after 21/8/2026.

Perhaps not the worst enhancement I've seen but not great either.

Am I missing anything here?

Do HSBC have a better deal?
We use an Amex Velocity where we can.
Have a US Amex that hasn’t been enhanced.
Kris Flyer Miles are still our favourite.

Fair comment. I'm concerned about the devalued point return on big $$ purchases such as J class international flights. Apart from the point devalue over 10k per month, am assuming airlines/TAs would be categorised as other purchases.
