Amex site is still showing transfer of 2:1 for KF. Perhaps, the system has not been updated as yet so if you forgot to transfer, now would be the last time at 2:1 for the unforeseeable future :(

Did the dance last week, offered 60K to keep my platinum charge for another year. Accepted and will revert in 12 months. Wish was more but oh well, better than nothing.

All good! Got my card today. Very quick. Approved on Tuesday morning and card arrived this morning, just in time to hit the requirement this weekend :)

My approval email doesn’t have anything about adding it to my phone wallet. Maybe because I’m a first time customer

How long from approval do you receive the card? Iirc someone posted somewhere that you can add the card to Apple Pay before receiving the physical card. Have an upcoming expense that I would like to pay with the card!

My annual report for data point: Have a plat charge and plat reserve (incl the travel credit). Initially offered nothing except to switch to a lower annual fee card and told that no points can be offered on my charge card because I was offered some points last year (which was minuscule!). I...

Just called to cancelled plat charge and was offered either 400 credit back spent at Woolworths or coles or Harris farm/scarfe or deliveroo, or, 10k points. Very disappointed with the offer. Told them I’ll consider. Leaning towards the 400 credit to bring the annual fee down since 10k equals to...

Yup, points balance based on total as of 15 April (unsure exact time) but well said by albyd below as well

Thanks to everyone especially Coriander and Kimster, I loaded up the chat and made some edits to Coriander's post prior to Customer Support being available (wait time was >20 minutes.. must be a stream of people trying to get offers!). Ran through the verification test and waited a couple of...

Has anyone attempted to speak to Amex to double their current points lately?

Yes. Was gonna pay for my pet registration but thats like 59 + 0.78% fee - around 59.46. Leaves me a balance of 40.54. Would use it for say other rates but some of the council/utility provider forces you to pay the full amount. Great thanks! :)
