With the current referrals bonuses, I'd like to chuck my hat in the ring for this one.
AMEX is offering 120,000 bonus points to those signing up for the Platinum Charge at the moment. Which is surely the biggest sign-on bonus of any consumer card in Australia and worth way more than the cards annual fee.
I'll quickly recap the Charge's best features for anyone considering applying:
- Unlimited lounge access in any of the following:
Virgin Australia Lounges, Priority Pass Lounges (800+ world wide), Delta and AMEX's own lounges
- $300 travel credit each year
- Loads of transfer partners - including: Qantas, Virgin, Singapore Airlines,
Etihad, Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, Thai, Malaysia airlines and more
This card earns a nifty 3 points for every dollar you spend on travel, restaurants and numerous pubs (in my experience).
For anyone who considering this card, you'll find the 120,000 points on offer until August to be pretty much unbeatable. I love my Charge card and I get great use out of it. As a full disclaimer, AMEX is currently offering 60k points for anyone lucky enough to score a referral. I'd obviously love it if you used my link and if I am lucky enough to get a referral, my partner and I plan on putting it to good use for a Japan holiday.
