New Amex statement credits

I have a "mid-year offer" of $25 off $75 at various locations on some of my cards this morning. The locations are not particularly inspiring-hope its not replacing the mini-shop small

Well the locations are actually mostly in your town or is it true Sydneysiders can't be buggered travelling two suburbs over?
 
I have the mid year offer of the Qantas Ultimate card too, though its not easy to work out which stores are included when you take into account the number of exclusions

I note this offer excludes phone sales. Is there any way to get around this? If I were to call one of the stores directly would they take payment over the phone directly through their terminal? I guess I'm asking if a payment like this will be able to be identified as not being physically in the store.

Basically looking to buy something but unable to get to the store in the time. As I'm not in Sydney I would probably get a friend to pick it up for me.

Nope. Follow the T&C or offer doesn't apply.

It will depend on whether they use different terminals to process different types of sales.

If you use the mobile app, you search the map (places nearby) on local champion and click on the little antennae to restrict My Offers. This will give an indication of stores participating.
 
Coupe of new offers posted over at OB. Coles Express $40 spend $10 back, Harris Farm $125 spend $50 back.
Seem like Amex issued cards only.
 
I got a "2 extra Membership Rewards points per dollar when paying with Android Pay" on my Platinum Edge. If anyone can produce a manual link so I can add my Explorer, too, that would be fantastic. It goes until 25/08/17 and earns a maximum of 2500 points.
 
i got the offer on my Explorer but not my Platinum Edge :-(

I received this offer on the Charge, but not on the Edge or Reserve.

I use Android Pay on my Edge all of the time, and if I had received the offer on that card, it would have equated to 6 MR points/$ spent at my local WW....
 
Is there a manual link for the coles express offer? I have it for my Ultimate Card but not the Explorer.

Also does anyone know whether they sell gift cards there at all?

Got the Velocity equivalent of this offer.
 
I've got absolutely nothing again. Seems like my fax to their executive client relations whinging about this have been ignored.
