Agreed that it is likely Amex's simple response to this legislation to make it as easy (and consistent) for themselves as possible, but it does seem that they are making it hard for their customers. I doubt I'm particularly unique in my situation -- as I put it to them, what if I needed to...

I thought I'd post this here since it may impact other ex-pat Australian amex customers. I've just had a fun conversation with Amex Australia. To set the scene, I'm a Kiwi who is employed in Australia and is assigned to the Singapore office of my MNC employer. My salary is paid in Australia...

That's interesting - the annual spend criteria for Australia seems higher than most other countries (in local currency). $260K pa seems a little excessive. When I moved to Australia, I asked Amex about the Centurion and it was indicated that [Platinum] cardholders with spends over $50K pa...

Yep - wasn't expecting anything anywhere near as generous. Hell, I would've temporarily moved back to Melbourne for 3 months if I'd been able to get in on this one! :).

Yeah - me either. I found the promo at the beginning of Dec by reading AFF, long after the debacle. I didn't get an invitation, presumably because I have a Singapore address on my Australian Amex accounts. Although one would've thought seeing my AU card drop from ~$10K/mo expenditure to...

Sorry, I don't. I received this from my team travel coordinator in Singapore, who had received it from our travel agents (AmEx & CWT). Thought it was particularly timely after having seen this thread and commenting on it earlier. I guess it will percolate through websites in the coming days...

Just got this from our corporate TA (in SIN): We would like to inform you on the latest update with regards to China Visa application. APEC Cards are no longer valid for entry into China. Effective immediately, ALL APEC Card holders are required to apply for visa before entering China...

Seen it in shops at SIN T1 too. "Charge in your home currency!"... the girl was confused when I said the home currency was SGD. Seems like this is getting more widespread; previously it seemed to just be a UK thing in my experience. I never accept it though, always charge in their currency...

Tell me about it. I applied for my NZ APEC card in October 07. It took NZ about 4 months to start doing anything with it; and the only approval I'm waiting for now is... China. Guess which is the only country that I actually NEED the card for. :mad: Mal- I had wondered what would happen if...

I'm interested in this offer. What happens if you reach Gold while a QC member? Does that impact you or the QC Corporate deal? (I'm not a QC member right now)
