New Amex statement credits

Something's going on with the offers right now. On web they're varyingly showing as "no offers available" or "available to save" (when I've already saved them). On mobile just "no offers".

 

[henrus]

but does anyone know if they've stopped selling physical gift cards and/or decided to affirmatively hide them when there's an Amex Offer?

Last time I was in Melbourne CBD I had to go up a few floors to find any.

Yes, I got to go back to the same Myer this afternoon (Doncaster VIC) and found gift cards on a single stand next to a single register on a floor other than the ones I was able to visit yesterday. Also the Coles Myer ones were on the rear side and hard to access.

Seems to happen from time to time in my experience.

I noticed the Qantas offer finishes soon. Any suggestions how it can be used without flying?

Deferred booking (ie voucher) may work

Refundable ticket?

Yes, I was pondering what to do. Still pi$$ed that it landed the day after I booked something…

Waiting for a DSC (or TSC) just in case

I made a booking tonight before the QF offer expires so what are the chances there'll be a DSC?

Pretty unlikely I expect.

When one (QF) offer closes, another opens - spend $1000 on Solomon Airlines, get $150 back

Limited to only 10,000 cards so be quick!

Does anyone have any idea whether this actually works? I'm in the same boat and was considering whether this was a viable option (short of purchasing some sort of fully refundable ticket)?

I purchased a GV and have received the cashback.

It's always worked previously.

who wants to go to the Solomons do they work on any other airline?

For the Mariott/Hilton cashback offer which says in store only. What are the chances of getting a cashback if booking a flexible rate and call up their reservation desk to charge it? Anyone tried this before? Only reason I’m thinking about this is I’ll be staying at the hotel later in the year which is past the offer period.

 

[tinkybelle]

you could try but a lot of the time they don't put it thru happed to me in Sydney IHG
they said they understood but they did not
maybe tell them it HAS to be charged now as there is an offer on then they may

In the past Hilton has a form that needs to be submitted for pre payment. I have done this without any issues and received the credit.
