Yeah got that today and came here just now to see if there was any discussion about it. I'm assuming I can just buy 10x$50 aldi vouchers each of the three months to get the 5000 points each month?

or any supermarket/department store voucher, really.
 
Do you guys reckon it’s targeted or worth a shot even if one didn’t get the email?

email says my name at top and the T&Cs include "offer is unique to this card and is not valid for any other cards you may hold" and also mentions spend on supplementary cards won't count, but still looks like a bulk email to me. Maybe see if a similar email shows up for you over next couple of days?

Ughhhh.... No email for me!!!

Edit: Plat Charge and Reserve
 
Got it on Discovery Card. I was going to close the card then the email nearly changed my mind until I read through the T&Cs: "Online transactions must be from a merchant’s own website and not via an aggregator, such as PayPal" A lot of my purchases that I was going to make on this card are made via Paypal.

Actually..... thinking about it, perhaps I could just micro pay an Optus Bill, 10 payments a month over 3 months. Yep sounds good 👍
 
No offer for me. Just a reminder email that I get points (less than last year) for spending my money...... Also, I've been a member since "TOWN" and the email is addressed to "Hello 3499.........."

Not only did I not get a bonus offer, they couldn't even personalise the email correctly. Two more months to find a replacement for Amex.

Got it on my Reserve card which is at the bottom of a drawer somewhere might activate it. Wish it was my Charge card but I get that one already gets a good workout they don't need to entice me to use it :p

I got a similar email - have sent it onto the spam inbox [email protected] - the last 5 digits in the top right hand side of my email didn't match any of my card numbers and I also had a number in the "3449 ..." number range listed in the subject. Looks suspicious to me but a good fake as they also got my name right and the email "sender" looks legit - usually that's an instant tell as it's not an amex email address. Phishers must be getting better at their craft.
 
Received it on reserve card. Not sure whether it's coincidental with my cards renewal due end of the month. I'll be ditching charge and reserve anyways despite the offer. Hopefully there's a points transfer bonus before the end of the month.

It is legit. There is a link for the web view version of the e-mail, and the domain name is americanexpress.com where you can see the actual e-mail.

The last 5 do match my reserve, which I never use, so I'm guessing legit, they just want me to use the card more, but not reward me to do so. But I don't mind sending to their spam dept, since they wasted my time with the email in the first place. :)

Edit:
The text in my email to spam@:
Im assuming this is spam, as my last name is in the member since section, and the Hello 34999…… isn’t any number I recognise to be associated with my account.

If not spam, can you forward to marketing/member experience and let them know they failed miserably?

Edit of Edit:
Its "[email protected]" spam@ bounces back.
