David Jones: AMEX to Latitude

[andyrb]

but interestingly AMEX have discontinued this card as of 11th March

That seems a bit odd. It was a good entry level card for someone who wanted the basic rewards and benefits without all the extras. Wonder if they'll replace it with something else?

1. Looks like the In-store services are pretty much staying the same.
2. Three levels of cards - Icon, Prestige and Premier.
3. Points earn varies by where you spend (DJs, petrol stations/supermarkets/everywhere else)
4. Points can be redeemed for rewards such as, digital gift cards, Points for credit, to pay with points, and for a transfer of points (e.g. Airline frequent flyer programs).

3 cards, icon? Not on website
Do you know what the earn rate is eg. 2000= $10 off?

I am starti8ng to think the Icon is just to have somewhere to migrate storecard people.

I've cancelled my DJs amex for Platinum Edge, wonder if there will be a sign on bonus for new customers with Latitude.

I'd guess so, the current offer says

This offer is limited to new and approved David Jones Premiere/Prestige credit card applicants and is valid until 30 April 2024. Offer is limited to one offer per applicant every 12 months.

Has anyone found out the redemption ratio to airline frequent flyer program under the Latitude rewards? It looks like you have to log into the David Jones rewards hub to find out, and they don't even publish it on its T&C.

Asking Latitude recently about frequent flyer partners they currently have, the answer is zero, and it is only the cashback, gift cards or David Jones online points redemptions currently, the same in the link I’d posted earlier on the Latitude help desk page

Today is the last day to cancel your storecard/DJ Amex if you don’t want your info passed on to Latitude.

 

[Claudes]

Which number did you contact? I'm being run around in circles?

How did you get that offer from Amex I just called and was advised to cancel my card and apply online for whichever card I wanted.

So that means I should get my points out now.
