Enjoy 1 Bonus Point with every $2 you spend

[Flashback]

I've had supplimentary cardholder transactions go through and earn bonus points as well.

Nice one! Sounds like I'll have to get my supp card holder to pull their weight

I've had supplimentary cardholder transactions go through and earn bonus points as well.

And I can also confirm that my Platinum Charge Card (that wasn't targeted for the promotion) also has its transactions earning bonus points, so it seems the promotion applies to the entire MR account, rather than a specific card, as was first thought.

Let the spending begin. Now I'm not going anywhere near $20K a month to earn 10K in points, but I'll spend where I can on Amex. Any points will be greatfully received and transferred to AA.

My supp card holders' spend was counted in the last promo, so I'm glad that it is similaly counted in this promo. Thanks Amex.

That the bonus 0.5 point seems to apply to all cards in one's MR account is not a surprise....for I am guessing thata large part of the reason for this promo was to keep people spending on their direct Amex Cards rather than the Qantas Direct Cards...and so hence the April 1 start date.

 

[Flashback]

Can confirm my suppcard holder is earning the bonus too, which is great as they are in Melbourne currently shopping to their hearts content

Now what I (we) need is an attractive Points Bonus to get a Amex Plat Card to come along in June...otherwise my earn rate will drop to only 1.25 after June 31.

Hi Guys

Just be aware I signed up for this promotion had a gold charge card and was converted to an advantage reward card but they wont issue me the extra bonus points.

I hate arguing with amex on this so off to the FOS I go

Amex are so annoying !!!!

If you have an analogue watch like mine which has a simple date scroller, it's quite easy to make the mistake of saying April 31st, or June 31st, etc.

You may get away saying one of those but how would you feel if you said February 31st? :shock: :mrgreen:

Has anyone else besides me noticed that the accelerator bonus points are not being posted / have not been posted for a few days now?

I asked Amex and they said they are experiencing problems with this and should be rectified soon....but no indication of time frame.

This Promo has much tighter T&C than the Everday Promo. So you might want to read through them..

Subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Membership Rewards program. The Points Accelerator Promotion enables invited Cardmembers to receive an additional 0.5 Membership Rewards Bonus Point per one Australian dollar spent on eligible purchases charged to the specific American Express Credit or Charge Card issued by American Express Australia Limited ("American Express"), that was nominated in the invitation to participate in the promotion.


So given the T&C if you changed Cards then you might be out of luck.


I have jumped to using the Westpac Krisfler card antyway...so you might want to havea look at that.

Mine seem to be posting OK.

 

[gibspmuh]

My bonus points are still posting fine as well.

 

[deluxeflyer]

A few days on, and it seems points have posted for some transactions and not others (the later ones are being credited).

I have not changed cards, but I have recently received a new Amex charge card, which may have something to do with my...."delay".

I'll monitor a few more days before I call Concierge again.

I haven't checked whether my bonus points have posted for April and May...perhaps that has to do with my malaise after the extended previous promo...are they posting each transactions, day, month?

The bonus points for this promotion have been posting with each transaction....

 

[Flashback]

Mine have been posting as the Tx happens, and I've not missed any points yet; getting a full 10k for the first month.

 

[QF WP]

Yes, mine have been posting - thanks JohnK for the clarification..it had been 2 months since I read the T&C's. Not sure how many bonus 0.5 points I received for April and May, not that bothered to try and calculate (unlike the last promo )
