netflix only 0.5 points per dollar

[dcooper]

Has anyone else experienced netflix only being .5 points per dollar spent? I get 1 point for itunes but only .5 for nextflix?

It is the same with Stan. They must categorise them within " • Telecommunication providers which includes goods and services purchased from phone, mobile and internet service providers"

I don't use iTunes so I pay using Paypal or Netflix gift cards that I get from Coles or Woolworths. Are you using Australian iTunes or US iTunes? If you're using Australia iTunes, wouldn't you be better off buying discounted iTunes cards and using the credit to buy your Netflix subscription?

I had the same experience getting only 0.5 ppd. They classify Netflix as a utility service. I discovered they sell Netflix giftcards at Woolworths, now getting 4ppd

Sweet - can you use it to pay monthly subscription?

Didn't know you could use iTunes to pay for Netflix

Unfortunately not, they only sell them in $30 and $60 cards. I'm just going to buy a $30 card every 2-3 months to top up my account.

Thanks Jonova!

Just an update - you can pay for the monthly Netflix subscriptions with a Gift Card - hello 5% off and 3ppd

You just enter the pin code in the My Account section and they give you a heads up if your gift card balance is getting low - sweet

Mine comes through as 2 points per dollar but I pay in USD ($7.99/m). Even with the currency conversion it's still cheaper than paying in AUD

Just posted the same answer in Amex Velocity Thread.

I had a look at this too. Was wanting to figure out if Foxtel would come through at 1.0 or 0.5
It links back to Amex's merchant codes. A copy of all the merchant codes can be download at: https://secure.cmax.americanexpress....ry_April07.pdf

Netflix and Foxtel are considered "Cable and Other Pay Television Services" which are actually listed under Utilities not telecommunications (Near bottom of Page 8 of merchant code guide)
