    Separate business expenses on personal Amex Platinum

    I’ve been reading a lot of stories on various Amex/Frequent Flyer Facebook groups recently of people having their accounts placed under review/cancelled, with forfeiture of all points, for using the personal charge for business txns.

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    I too rang Amex this arvo to query my situation. After my ramblings about my years of being a member, my annual spend etc the (Australian) support agent stopped me to confirm I was "part of the very small select few to have their balances credited with the same number of rewards points on 15...

    Diners club companion card

    New Altitude Black has landed...

    Unless you use Amex Platinum Edge for 3 points/$ supermarket, 2 points/$ petrol purchases. Amex Plat charge card is 3:2:1 but not the same as Plat Edge. 3 for restaurants, 2 for travel etc and 1:1 for everything else (Utilities 0.5:1).

    New Altitude Black has landed...

    Base earn is 3 altitude points per $. This translates to: 160pts = 1 Air NZ airpoints $ or 1.5 MH/CX/SQ/VA per $.
