Probably too late to answer your question @serfty but for anyone else interested, this was my experience. Went in June 2022 and it's basically a large room with scattered armchairs and tables - much like a library or cafe. It's almost directly opposite the luggage storage facility. Food and...

My application was the same as yours. I don't recall being asked anything besides my own and weirdly, my partner's income. No liabilities, assets or anything else. It wasn't instantly approved though - took about 48 hours for approval but no additional information requested.

Same here. Only just had a moment to check the email sent at 11:38 and it's gone! Ah well - would've been great for my upcoming trip!

Right at the bottom says $25... wonder which one is the typo here! ;)

I'll try and find my old passport but the Maldives has a really nice one! I believe it was something like a coral reef with turtles and fish swimming at the bottom.

SYD options around 4pm last Saturday The falafel were quite dry, but hummus and tabbouli quite nice. MEL had the same sandwiches, a roast cauliflower/lentil salad and pumpkin soup. Karaage chicken brought out at approx 1800 but it was rather on the salty side. Didn't manage to catch any...

Yep works fine for me. I tried booking via the standard AMEX Travel portal instead of the FHR link. Can see both Hilton and Intercontinental. Wish the Primus was still there but I believe they've rebranded.

VA874 SYD-MEL 1800 & VA893 MEL-SYD 2015 Same options offered on both flights: roast pumpkin tortellini and chicken tagine. Staff on VA874 were very curt and absent after initial tray service, no refills offered. VA893 had Nicole who was lovely! Drink refills offered multiple times and snack...

I held the Velocity Plat for 5+ years and switched to the Plat Charge in 2020. The application was... suspiciously easy and I wasn't even asked to verify anything (it was approved within 24 hours IIRC). It was whilst trying to obtain proper payslips which delayed my original application... so I...

I applied for the A/C card in late 2020 - at the time, I wasn't able to do so even via the phone (as stated above, I was notified it was discontinued). An amazing AFF member has posted instructions on how you can still do so here (I can confirm it worked for me!)...

CreditRewards charges a higher fee (1.8%) for AMEX compared to Sniip, but they might be able to accept the biller if you email them first. I use CreditRewards for most of my purchases that aren't accepted by Sniip. Your circumstances will differ of course, but they might be worth considering if...

Apologies, I should've been clearer - the second option. Most places I was looking at about two weeks ago are fully booked for December. Thought I'd try my chances but each time they just referred to me the online booking portal... which I'd already done ;). No harm done! Also thanks for your...

Has anyone had much success with concierge-assisted restaurant bookings recently? I've been unsuccessful each time in Sydney unfortunately (for restaurants off the global dining collection).

Welcome to AFF :). To answer your question, I would say I probably spend on the lower end - roughly $15-20k a month personal spend, but that's shared between two people. Should you want a really deep understanding of the card's perks (and limitation workarounds) beyond what's published, I...

Data point: haven't received anything and from Sydney also.

Ah, I knew I'd find more information if I kept digging! In the coming months, Amex says it will be updating 11 international lounges with “elevated design elements and food and beverage offerings to reflect the premium Centurion Lounge experience.” This will bring a more standardized experience...

Sorry if this has been posted already, but has anyone seen this article on CNN? I was browsing the updated US counterpart benefits and noticed this in the article "Also, American Express International Lounge locations in spots like Mexico City and Sydney, Australia, will be converted into...

Thanks very much :), I completely missed your post.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned. Did anyone else receive a 'Platinum Everyday Essentials and More' $400 cashback? (Coles, Deliveroo, Harris Farm and Woolworths). I didn't receive an email about this, or save it, so I'm not sure if it's targeted... but I just noticed it already saved...

Yep that's right, you can book up to three rooms (FHR) per card, but my interpretation of the T&Cs is that you will get the same FHR benefits up to three rooms - what do you guys think? "Benefits and additional Fine Hotels + Resorts promotions are only applied at checkout and expire at...
