Doubt it will be a standard feature. I think it's a temporary measure to keep members happy while covid limits our ability to use the card's travel perks.

Was done (for the second time) to compensate / offset the cost for members who are paying high annual fee but can’t use most of the Plat card benefits. Explorer annual fee is covered by the travel voucher which was extended beyond it’s 1 year expiry.

Last time it worked online too
With similar T&Cs
Even better, just buy the visa one prepaid card for $507.95 and you can use it anywhere visa is accepted, $8 is a small price to pay unless you know you will spend that much at Woolworths.

You can pick up supermarket gift vouchers for some percentage off quite easily. This $400 could be used where no further discounts are possible perhaps

5% off is not really a big deal
Given that interest rates for cash are < 1.00% (pre-tax) then I'll take a 5% (after tax) risk free return every chance I can!

I may end up using the spend on GCs, not for the discount but simply because I don't shop much at Coles, Woolies or Harris Farm unless there's a compelling Flybuys/WWR spend x get y promo.

I haven’t seen a mention of this in AFF but I may have missed it. But the offer that is coming 1 Feb is a new Platinum Charge offering.
Changes Coming to American Express Platinum | Flight Hacks
The top tier American Express Platinum card has been in my wallet for a few years now and starting next month; we’ll see a brand new benefit added to the Card. If you’re a sucker for high-end fashion…

Honestly it truly is rubbish. An offer on an Australian card where you have to pay in foreign currency and get slugged silly fees. That really is poor. A much better incentive would just be to forget Net-A-Porter and Mr Porter and get rid of the 3% foreign transaction fee. That would be a great improvement on this card.
