Yeah, I believe it's a new application for a credit card, but that is fairly inconsistently applied I imagine, even here amongst us.

Also a very true fact ! The fact that they've all now quoted the same bit of legislation to me, makes me think people got their knuckles rapped and they're all playing it super safe. Funnily enough I just asked the person on the phone then - can I reinstate and she said yes, within 60 days...

I'm currently chatting to cust service on the app - and they're point blank restating the 2019 law change. Similarly, they are now saying that they can't re-instate cards, you'd need to re-apply again for a card (which is a new one for me) Maybe this is all directed at me personally, given I...

Suspect they've cracked down or at least my account is less fancy now I don't have any money flowing through it - as normally they'd be up for it. I tried twice too and both agents said the same thing. YMMV but this is a different one for me.

Just did the dance with a customer service rep. She very quickly quoted the "Australian rules" with regard to credit cards and retention offers. Gave up after a few mins of probing. Sad

Yeah, just got this email from ol' Olivia Wirth - and I've been extended with no strings djue to my current residency in Aus!

yeah literally just did this with my other half - her passport was expiring and we had to book with her old passport number, and then just changed it later on in the usual place online. no problems at all!

Just as an FYI - they've now scrapped the holding pen for transit customers as part of a wider easing of covid measures. Seems were a month or two behind Aus in terms of omicron surge so the govt is just beginning to roll things back...

Aussie in Singapore here! Cruises have had a bad time with outbreaks here - and they have had a tendency to shut entire ships down (although the more recent relaxations would have me believing you'd just get thrown in the hold) Current restrictions here are still very vigilant - so 5pax...

I can confirm it does take a while for the actual letter to come in...

I'm happy to be corrected by the brainstrust here (Haven't been in Aus for like 3 years now haha) Whenever I deal with Amex (and this is only my plat charge) - they can instantly reinstate the charge card, but IIRC there's some laws around following through for credit cards. Actually now that...

They can for charge cards. Credit cards fairly certain they can't. As well as partner cards (not sure if the DJs is a partner card) 1645062650 They can for charge cards. Credit cards fairly certain they can't. As well as partner cards (not sure if the DJs is a partner card)

Flying back home to visit family for first time in 3yrs in SQ J. One thing covid was good for, banking krisflyer miles. First time that the missus is flying business too! 🥳

Haha yes I'm sure the restaurant would oblige a bit of a faff with paying... :)

Hi - I believe there is a 'window' for credits that this can apply to - they saw that my credits all expire in 2022 and were like "oh you managed to use them" I wnat to say it's from now till end of 2021.. but don't quote me. She was more than happy to do anything in 2021 I believe..?

Haven't got an offer in ages on the charge due to my... Overseas status but just got a food one for 300$ back at a few fancy restaurants. Going to remotely shout my mum dinner via my brother haha - appears to be a platinum credit.

Fyi for those of you with charge cards. If you call the platinum hotline and speak to them about it. They should be able to convert it to statement credits. Just got off the phone then. (Sadly I did manage to use mine haha)

Hello friends so a bit of an update from my conversation with a lovely person on the amex platinum hotline. So it turns out yes, if you hold a charge card like me (I was calling up coz my annual fee just got charged haha) - if you request a cancellation, that's their unlock to "see if there are...

Haha! Well shows how long since it's been me logging into the web portal!!!

Just logged into my account and got an ad for Chris Hemsworth's new training program - apparently a benefit for amex members (free 12m trial, 129.95) Not sure if this is part of this whole new deal?
