American Express Gold Charge Card - $130

[prozac]

The Amex Gold card is good for 30,000 points when signing up. With an annual fee of $130 this bonus is only redeemable via referral and is not available in full to applicants who apply direct to Amex. OK, there are no free flights but not everyone wants one. Want a referral? Send me a pm.

Isn't it $210 when you include the Ascent fee?

Don't know about that.....here's the blurb (I didn't mention itis a charge card).

• Earn 1 Membership Rewards point for every $1 spent, excluding utilities, insurance(except insurances offered by American Express), telecommunications providers and government bodies in Australia where you will earn 0.5 points for every $1 spent[SUP]2[/SUP]

Does 1 Membership reward point = 1 QFF point ?

 

[prozac]

Does 1 Membership reward point = 1 QFF point ?

Not sure but you can transfer 1:1 to SQ, MH, CX, Air NZ, Thai, Virgin Atlantic, Velocity and EY (Etihad) who have a 15% bonus on transfer atm.

Can you apply for this card and get the 30k bonus even if you already have another Amex card (Ultimate) ?
Cheers

Only if you have Ascent Premium via a Rewards Advantage or Platinum charge card.

Not according to the T&Cs.

You have to opt in to Qantas Direct to get QFF points, and then it's direct sweep only.

This card can also be had for free if you drive a certain premium European vehicle (or possibly have the appropriate link)

I think the affiliate card is credit as opposed to charge though.

This is correct. Plus, no 30k signup bonus but atm there's a DJ voucher.

Indeed correct. Still $0 annual fee can't be beaten no bonuses though if you're doing the old bonus and burn trick.

Mine sits in the drawer for a rainy day. Weather's been fine for 3 years...

Are you referring to the credit or charge card. Through my affliliation, the annual fee is waived for teh 1st yr for the charge and free for life for the credit - I would like the charge fee free forever

Is it possible to get Gold Charge Card fee free? / reduced?

I haven't seen any promos on the charge cards for a while & at the moment the gold card doesn't look to be very good ($210 to be able to earn points)

I have qantas discovery at the moment which is great value but I would like the insurance that the gold comes with / other advantages

Cheers
