Yes, I have had this happen to me too, and yes, Amex Travel refunded the points quickly. If you are a Plat Charge cardholder I would suggest asap emailing the Plat Travel team to indicate your mistake and document that you realised soon after and thus it wasn't just a change of mind. Probably...

Firstly, I'd suggest not mentioning a specific advertising partner (e.g. Point Hacks) - as I said before, the offer is available through many different sites and referencing a specific site might add to the phone agent's confusion. Something like "I applied for the 100,000 point offer on...

Hi all - in case you missed it earlier in the thread, I run Point Hacks. To be clear, this wasn't an exclusive promotion between us and Westpac - it was available to all of Westpac's advertising partners, it just wasn't / isn't available on the main Westpac website. As I said before, I'm happy...

Hi folks - I run Point Hacks. The offer terms from Westpac on their landing page state: If anyone who has applied through our link has waited the full 60 days and they don't get the bonus points as promised, I'd like to hear about it - similarly, if people do, I'd also like to hear about...

Thanks all. I run Point Hacks and it's been a while since I dropped into AFF, but this thread surfaced so I thought I'd chip in. This thread was actually the catalyst for me to finally write up what the site is about today, at About Point Hacks and plans for the site in 2016 - Point Hacks...

I got the same, but value much larger. No idea what for!

Amex confirmed to me through an account message that the referral system has been taken offline indefinitely again... with, once more, no explanation or ETA on it's return. Aaron, hope your referrals do go through.

Aaron - if either of your referrals sign up for a card and you get the referral points, it would be great if you could report back...

The whole referral system actually came offline for a couple of weeks as well. This is the first sign of life.

Thanks for this, seems like Amex have resurrected the system then, but don't have it in the navigation - unless I am missing something? This makes me wary about using it...

I'm not seeing this option - any chance of a screenshot?

Amex have gone from 'back in a month' to 'don't know' in my comms with them. So if they don't know... I guess we won't be seeing a replacement any time soon. This saddens me greatly, trust me. I have done very well out of Amex referrals in the last couple of years (as have Amex, I'm sure) and...

I've been lightly harassing Amex about this. It's not gone for good - back in around a month, but not coming back quickly either. Doesn't bode well. https://twitter.com/AskAmexAU/statuses/468162714917797888

Uh oh. It's been a great run, but given the option has been from the nav, either... 1) Amex are finally updating their clunky referrals online application service to better match their refreshed site and include new products (here's hoping) OR 2) Referrals are dead. This has earned me many...

Full 5k points awarded to my referrer, and signup bonus for me. Currently hold an Edge. Now proud owner of a Discovery.

I didn't credit by forum name, but both AFF threads are linked to in that post, and thanked. If I gave the indication that I discovered this off my own back, I didn't mean to. As for having the Edge only to save $15, why would you as a new cardholder when you can get 30k MR points (vs 15k) as a...

I'm selling 2 x Webber Grandstand tickets as a result of nabbing that SPG package - race day, section F, row J, seated together. Face value = $224 each. Will put them up on eBay, should get close to face value but if anyone else is interested. ... Will be on eBay tomorrow.

Sorry to bring this up again as it's in another thread, but I posted this article up last week - a free companion Platinum Edge card with the Gold Charge potentially solves your problem.

Been meaning to do this for a while - does anyone want to refer me to the Qantas Discovery card? Possibly 5k points for your trouble - deep link to do this (may need to be logged into your Amex account) is...

Only for large purchases that would earn 1:1 on either card, that you'll know you'll pay off at the end of the month - Gold Charge has uncapped points earn. And for that, thanks! Again, I have enough points (OK, when's enough, I know) so would encourage others to share their referral links.
