    Yo dude, Yep - I just call the +612 number on the card. Use skype to call it - it'll be cheap :)

    Right so let me take you all through my terse exchange - called number on back of card - said I wasn't getting value - 'Ace' listed me all the great things that i was getting with my platinum card - I said thanks but I'd love to cancel I think - He then put me through to another team who does...

    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

    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'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...
