Hi AFF,

I've been using Platinum since 2016 and have a Platinum Reserve as companion card.

Now I'm looking at the Platinum Edge which can earn 3x points from Woolies, Ampol etc. Wonder if the points earned from Edge can be credited into Platinum's Ascent Premium MR account, so I can transfer it to QFF?

Remembered there was a discussion (back in the time), an Edge can be linked as an companion card to Platinum and then the points earned from the Edge will be treated as the Platinum's Ascent Premium one?

Have asked the support chat, they say "it is possible", "earning rate and redemption rate are two different things", "Ascent points can be transferred to Ascent Premium then be used based on Ascent Premium's term". If anyone has experience on this? Thanks!
 
I recall the same thread, but can't find it. I remember results being mixed too. I vaguely remember that you can move them over manually on request as this is a known process for people upgrading to the plat, but they may not earn straight into ascent premium. Maybe worth a try and report back?
 
I have a Platinum Charge and a Platinum Edge. Upon receiving the Platinum Edge I called AmEx and asked for all my points to be consolidated and it was done immediately. All my spending on my Platinum Edge now earns Ascent points which are consolidated into the one points account.
