Local Champion is back and now available for Qantas & Velocity cards

Hi All
Does a supplementary card's transactions count towards the member cards champion total?

Never used to, but I can't comment about after the recent changes (and system upgrade).

No-only primary in T&Cs and my experience

Not sure of my issue then, it's gone from the iOS App on my phone, just overnight.

Very strange, restarted my phone and it was back.... Wondering if I'm just going crazy but considering I double checked three times I think my phone was just playing up

I'm still showing as Local Champion on two vendors, but recent transactions at them aren't showing any sort of bonus.

I'm local champion at my local BP, 7/11 and Coles. The BP and 7/11 local champion points have been coming through 2-3 days after the normal points post, but the Coles points have not posted since this thread started. I've emailed and called AMEX and they aren't willing to manually credit the points and have asked me to wait the full 90 days as per the T&Cs.

I made 4 transactions on Friday at a local establishment. The first 2 qualified me as Local Champion. Should the second two have earned the bonus points or is there some delay or do bonus points get added at the end of the month, for instance?

TIA.

In this iteration of LC the bonus points come through in batches

OK, thank you. This is my first time as LC so had no previous experience.

I picked up 2303 points on LC, but my week away in Darwin I have lost my crown for much of my kingdom...
until next time I guess.

I lost a quarter of my empire tonight........ First ground lost in the LC wars. It was 'an outpost' which is difficult to defend from raiders.

There are probably places that I can look for this but given the shortage of time I have a day, I still have no idea how local champion points work, haha. I've been champion at a few places, not at my local Coles though since someone keeps beating me to it. Ah well. So is it 1 extra point per $ if you are local champion + the normal points?

Correct. Standard earn for your card + one additional bonus point, capped at 10000 lifetime LC points.

Looks like more AMEX users are starting to catch on to Local Champ... I've lost 3 of my 4 leading businesses in the last 2 days. Time to catch up :evil:

I thought that would be the case. However, I've managed to hold onto 2 local Coles without shopping very much at all
