I thought Etihad Guest was a 2 year expiry?

- Etihad Guest - 2 years from date of activity
You can,*if* the transaction goes from pending to approved today (when points post).I have a $20K invoice just arrived. I wonder if I can pay that now, and transfer the points before midnight?
I reckon your chances are slim.Just found and paid a $3.2k invoice from one of my suppliers. Paid them online, transaction immediately pinged up on my Google pay app and in my Amex app as a "Pending". I'd guess that this will add another 6500 points to my Ascent rewards before they cutoff at midnight. I'm scrabbling around to see what else I can prepay.... might go and buy a couple of egift cards for Woolies.
I tried to time everything for a childish challenge to be on zero points, but ended up with 18 pointsThe day is here everyone.
It's been a great journey so far, I hope everyone sits back tonight and enjoys looking at their 0 balance in their AmEx MR accounts.
On a related note, here's some fun facts about zero:
Congratulations for making it all the way to the end
- The first known English use of zero was in 1598.
- Fibonacci (of the famed Fibonacci sequence) used the term zephyrum, which after a couple of translations via Italian and Venetian, eventually became zero.
- The concept of zero as a digit in the decimal place value notation was developed in India.
- 0 is even, but is neither negative nor positive.
- 0 carries controversy with it, as its status as a natural number is debated. Most mathematical authors suggest that 0 be excluded from the natural numbers (counting numbers), but others disagree.
- Division by 0 is not defined, some people believe that dividing by zero will result in a black hole forming.
- 0 is often used to force a flight number to be 3 digits, e.g. SQ1 is sometimes written as SQ001 and QF1 is sometimes written as QF001, SQ31 is sometimes written as SQ031, etc etc... (Had to leave the best till last, right?)

I think you are correct. I'm blaming MstrQS1 for not giving me the letter which he collected from the letter box and put it in his bag on Friday.Fat chance of that happening... would work ok if you didn't need to transfer the points.
Amex will never be the same after today.
All my pending stuff from Friday has come through as 2ppd this morning.
