As an update, when I called AMEX they had flagged the address as a mail forwarding address so could not proceed with the application (it's just a standard MyUS suite). They said the application would remain valid for 60 days and I could call to update the address on file at any time. Anyone...

So I've had a crack at signing up for AMEX Green via GT... Online process was smooth enough - got a 'call us' page at the end of the application and reps from Amex Home Depot have left messages on my US number (middle of the night) to call back during business hours. I'll try and do that this...

Sorry, perhaps not clear: the 'offer' referred to is the one titling the thread - 200SC for taking out a credit card.

I took up Virgin Flyer for this offer last year (100k points over 4 months) and it helped me to make WP. Closed in July 2023 🤔 If I take the card out again and for some reason City deny me the 60k bonus points, would I still get the 200SC and the $129 voucher for the $64 annual fee? Because...

Anyone know if you can use a promo code for a booking over the phone? 🤔 Have some SQ points expiring that I can use for a single J reward (there's only one on the flight) where the accompanying passenger will be a child in paid J (can't book online). 10% off could save $60, better than...

$59 for upwards of $400 off groceries across a year without having to go near a shop, with a serve of bonus points thrown in, was probably in the 'too good to be sustainable' category. I do all our shopping online (kids and supermarkets right?) and only hit a store when something we ordered...

Very quick question... As VA Gold I can usually select anywhere from row 7 onwards on a flight. On an upcoming MEL-SYD return though one of the flights has the entire front half of the cabin showing as unavailable. Have people seen this kind of thing before? It's early on a Friday...

I did a trip in SQ J to Europe with 2 adults + 2 kids (9 month baby and a four year old) and it was fantastic! Only needed 3 reward seats thankfully because of the infant but I wouldn't stress about it being a good use of points - can't get much better for a family in my opinion when going...

Minimum spend was met on something like 2nd or 3rd of December last year. Sent a message in the app last week to support saying "hey guys, the 90 days is almost up after which you'll be in breach of the offer terms" (I included a link to the offer). The reply came back last Friday that said...

It's probably not going to happen, but it would be much easier for VA to offer a 'premium entry' style concept at MEL T3 now. Use some real estate up at the back of bag drop to create a private security checkpoint that takes you straight down the original escalators and right to the door of the...

The Ts&Cs on the offer say it could be 4 weeks before double status credits are awarded so no need to rush them ;) It seemed others had booked via Amex knowing this has worked fine in the past, can't imagine why it wouldn't. The offer terms say: book and ticket an Eligible Flight during the...

I was going to ask this one quickly but I think it's been answered... Confirming that booking via Amex travel is still eligible for Double SC? Can't see why it wouldn't be but doesn't hurt to check and be sure :rolleyes:

Interesting, I hadn't seen the quote stating a direct preference for non-competition. Happy with the regional scraps that are on the table I guess? 🤔 I agree that the regional routes out of MEL seem to have more legs than a lot of the MCY ones. There's a much bigger pool of people to draw...

This is what interests me as well. I think they're stretching it to imagine that routes like Mildura/Coffs/Albury/Port Mac to MCY will fill a 737 twice a week. While in the meantime you have VA and JQ flying MEL-MCY 3 times daily each, with VA ramping up to sometimes 6 flights/day during peak...

I was approved 22nd of November and met the minimum spend by the 9th of December (at the latest). No SMS yet :confused: Guess this is a long hold before all the benefits have clocked their way through.

The '90 days' wordings and references are pretty standard Ts&Cs for points arriving, but it's much more of a blanket statement to cover how long it  might take the bank's IT systems to actually send you the link and credit rather than a built in timeline. If the internal team gives themselves...

For anyone that was following this one it's still possible to do... I setup Wise, formally TransferWise, and ordered my debit card (costs $10). As soon as it's paid for though you can start using it online, you don't need to wait for the physical card. Created a CAD bank account in the app...

I think it was more suggested by the first comment that if there were two J awards when you started booking but they were gone by the end then you would waitlist instead of upgrading. And looking through inventory, enough flights seem to begin with 2 J awards that it appears as a de-facto...

Got an upgrade points question for something I've not tried before... If there's J award availability, can you use points to upgrade to it straight away (or as part of booking even)? There's a bunch of $79 choice fares for SYD-MEL floating around as part of the summer sale: 10k + $79 is better...

It's taking the payment region from the billing address of the card itself or from PayPal (those are the only two payment methods). I guess I could set up a Canadian PayPal account and try and get a card added to it but it seems like a lot of hassle.
