New Amex statement credits

[bussyboy]

I just had the Energy Trade credit hit my account today, after my second charge since the promo started.

I thought I was going to miss this, as I'm an existing (>12 months) customer, T&C's indicate new customers only, looks like that never got filtered out.

Waiting for four lots of bonus points I racked up last weekend. Got the qualifying e-mails, but no points. Hopefully by the time September hits

Finally got my bonus points

No Qantas offer for me

No Qantas offer for me

It's always worth checking back the next day if there's an offer you're interested in that hasn't appeared for you. I'm not sure if it's just because their systems take a while to roll these things out, or if they're deliberately rolled out in stages depending on uptake. Either way I've often found an offer that hasn't appeared for me will show up a day or two later.

I suppose there won't be any Qantas offer on my Amex Velocity card

I mean I have got Virgin Wines deals on my Amex card. Anything’s possible?

 

[bernardblack]

Yeah, but I can use it for transactions I am making anyway.

Interesting. I hit the 1000pt on my other cards, and I got the right number (~275) of points on a ~$55 transaction on the Edge last week. But a purchase made on Sunday for ~$148, which should have cleaned out the remainder, hasn't yet provided those ~725 remaining bonus points.

They arrived sometime during the day Monday. (They weren't there when I checked ~06:00 but were there when I checked again ~22:00.)

This was good for me too. I need to be in Bne for 3 nights in October. The Four PoInts was approx $450/night, so I booked 2 using what points I had (61k) and bought the 3rd, which was enough to qualify for this offer.

Apologies if some of these have been posted already. I did scroll through recent posts and didn't see them.

Designer Appliances - 10% back up to $1000.
Dyson - $499+ / 6% back
American Tourister - 6% back every time
Samsonite - 6% back every time

Definitely seems to be a trend toward % cashbacks these days rather than hard $ offers. Guess it can be advantageous in some circumstances, but somehow I feel these are less beneficial when all is said and done.

I for one would love a hotel % based cashback - the minimums are usually far below what I spend on work travel so 400/80 vs a flat 20% is a no brainer for me.

Probably easier to sell a % based proposition to the retailers. It is harder to for consumers to exploit value, but it rewards higher spend which is obviously Amex & the retailer's aim.

I wonder whether the demise of Cashrewards would accelerate this trend.

The hotels know the average booking will be higher than $400 when pricing these - a flat 20% is never going to happen.

Would also eliminate the need to ask the hotel to spread the payment over two or three cards, to get the offer on each.
