    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Yes borderline with the 35K cert but I believe you can top up 15K on top and that covers most Australian properties at least. Overseas a different story but $650.00 annual fee just too much now when already lifetime. Now what to do with my Surpass? Hilton 3rd down on my chains (Marriott and...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I've noticed on occasions some cards go missing on the Amex website for a day or so and then reappear. Maybe just updating some details or bonus offers.

    Flybuys on Uber Eats delivery

    The triple dip! Kind of impressed and want a job at Uber and Coles lol. When I saw Chase also on the docket I thought they might be following the "how to get a US Amex thread" Maybe the Chase Sapphire Preferred bonus points on online delivery some how.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just applied for the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless with an eye towards the Ritz Carlton card in 12 months. Has anyone got the Ritz card and had any success claiming airline incidentals on Aussie carriers?

    Flybuys on Uber Eats delivery

    Just did my second Uber Eats delivery from Coles and comes in handy for quick delivery when you can’t make it out. Question is how do you earn your flybuys on the delivery? My first order the flybuys section was blank but the one just now had a number attached so looks like a healthy dose of...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Looks like you can get tremendous value with the US travel so makes sense. The Bonvoy Brilliant was my first global transfer card and has been a favourite but having lifetime status the extra $200 fee stings so thinking of the downgrade option.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I don’t think officially but some comments previously saying they just look at the card and it’s a Platinum Amex so gets accepted. It looks like it’s part of the Global Lounge Collection maybe?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Hey BTS, wondering about how you came to choose the Platinum card as your first GT? My Virgin lounge access is about to expire and contemplating getting US or AUS Platinum for access among other perks.

    Additional Benefit on Velocity Earning Cards: 40K Points, 6 Months Gold or $300 Travel Bank

    @MooTime do you recall how to use the voucher? Had the card for years also but with covid have not used it and can't remember. On hold now for 90 minutes they say and just want to book online.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thinking that also, just put in an address for some cheap house for sale in middle America that the post wouldn't go to anyway.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Yes at present only thing I can do is change to another PostScanMail address and continue to get the mail to the original address as they have advised. I don't have any relatives or friends to use an address.
