    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Nice! I should have asked for some more! I think 190k points is the current offer for new card holders hence that amount.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Just wanted to share my encounter regarding cancelling my Platinum charge card. Called up Amex just before and pressed the options to get to cancellations.

    Amex Travel Credit - covid implication

    Damn that's unfortunate and frustrating. The lady on the phone mentioned that not all card holders are eligible for the extension. Wasn't sure if she was just saying that to make it feel like they went above and beyond for me.

    Amex Travel Credit - covid implication

    Online chat generally goes nowhere tbh. I called up last night and AMEX UK team picked up the call, they said to call in the morning and speak to the Australian team to which i did, however the person who gave me the extension was based in Manila.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    To those who have called up Amex to ask for an offer, did you have Travel Credit and Amex Points still on your account? I just got my Travel credit renewed until 31 March, and have 2.6M Amex points. Hardly looks like I would cancel the card with these balances. 😂 My card gets renewed from...

    Amex Travel Credit - covid implication

    Got $450 expiring tomorrow 17/2 and another $400 expiring in 7 days. Anyone know what happens if I used the credit to book a refundable flight and then cancel the flight later on? Do I get refunded back with an extended travel credit or get cash back?

    Pathetic [Where are the advertised extra award seats? ]

    I ended up booking using Asia Miles, called them up and put 2 seats on hold. Transferred some points across from AMEX. cost 100,000 asia miles points which is the same redemption rate for Qantas which were gonna charge me 172,000 points. Different of 72,000 points for the same flight!

    TPE to SYD China Airlines QFF redemption will you do it.

    ive just used qantas points to redeem biz class tickets with China Airlines for CNY. Their A350 products are great and availability is good. Economy is also very good on the A350 with them too.

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    Thank you as always pjm99au - appeared to look ok on qantas. There are no reward seats available, but it did let me book 9 business class tickets. Would have rather liked to book reward biz seats. I'll take my chances and pay for economy seats in the hopes for an upgrade.
