But I think there are no fees on hotel bookings?

Ah, haven’t thought of looking at that.

Special Gift Cards 10% up to $20 credit
Silversea Spend $2000 or more, get $200 credit

Sadly no Silversea offer for me, I must have over utilized it.

 

[tinkybelle]

none of my 20 accounts got silversea but I have been over utalising as well

but even my associates who have never used did not get it
you must be very special!!!

Nor for me and I have never used it! Special offer seems primaries only.

 

[boomy]

I got Mayer offer only on Explorer (primary) and Special offer only on Plat Charge (primary) out of 4 different cards and sups. So random

 

[SYD]

No Silverseas here. Pretty sure I’ve had it in the past but not used.

Cancelled my own Amex over the weekend and unfortunately no Special offer on the Supp card I have. It's probably the offer we use the most at the moment.

I've utilised the Virgin offer (Spend $500, get $50 back) and I will utilise the the Hilton (spend $400 get $80 back) by 9/25. Nothing else is likely to be used

 

[DejaBrew]

No Silverseas here, but I did get the Special offer.

Same, I don't think I've had any real benefit this year except 3 of these free money offers. I was overseas for the Delicious Month Out promo and not in the market for shoes so there's not a lot left that I find useful

I’ve said it before but the Special is good because one can buy a $200 Woolworth’s card. This card loads into your phone like a normal Apple Pay card (in fact it’s actually a Mastercard underneath) therefore at the check out you just select pay by card and there are no limits on purchasing gift cards.

Woolworths also sell prepaid Mastercards (with a $5.95 fee) but on a $200 purchase well $194 variable card you’re $14 ahead. I then use this to pay utilities bills. There is also some talk that certain special cards work direct but I haven’t tried this.

Likewise, I load the card onto google pay and use it at woolies like a normal card.
The only downside is I don't spend $200 at once so I have to keep track of how much money is left on the card. The card will be declined if there is insufficient balance to pay the full amount, and unlike a gift card, it won't just automatically split the payment up. You have to go to split payment and enter that amount manually.

You can check the balance by logging into Special

 

[tinkybelle]

is it worth it for $14

 

[muppet]

is it worth it for $14

Agreed, certainly not for me persoanlly. The effort we have to go to get value out of these cards is next level.
