New Amex statement credits

[Flyfrequently]

May I ask, where did you find this @bussyboy ?

Think I have found my answer.

Checked last 2 Amex statements and found bonus points added under "RC Qantas tiers (Q02, Q03, Q04, Q05) A&P"
The amounts tally to my spends.

Liquorland statement credit finally posted. Curious to know whether those who purchased online also got the credit, being an in-store only offer.

Yes - My online order has just recently posted the $10 credit

My DP on the Personal US Platinum. I recently upgraded my Green to Platinum. I've set up a US Uber account, and it's credited for a ride I took in SYD to the airport. I haven't checked what the exchange rate that Uber applied - assuming it was favourable to them so there's that though it unlocks the Uber credit. YMMV.

Disappointed not to see the Foreign Spend offer on Qantas Ultimate Amex- maybe because i benefited last promo

I just completed a foreign spend before seeing that offer posted and was annoyed with myself for not having looked at my AMEX offers first. Then realised I wasn't targeted with the offer, so no harm no foul.

Agree though, shame to not get the offer, especially with an overseas holiday coming up.

Even with the 3% conversion commission?

Everyone's different, but those extra 3 MR points per dollar make it worth it for me under some circumstances. A spend of $100 plus 3% foreign transaction fee on the Platinum card earns 540 MR points with this offer. For those FF programmes that give you 1 FF point per 2 MR points, that means that spending the $100 will net 270 FF points.

So effectively you're paying $3 for those 270 points -- ie. just over 1.1 cent per point. If you were buying points outright, even in the very best sales you'd never get them that cheaply. This makes it very much worth it if you're accumulating, or looking to purchase, points in programmes such as Asia Miles or one of the Avios programmes -- even Qantas or Velocity if you have international Business or First class redemptions in mind.

Of course, after the December devaluation, this will change (depending on what FF points you're wanting to accumulate). But before then it could be well and truly worth it, even with the 3% fee -- it is for me, anyway.

Sniip Spend $250 or more, get 1,250 Bonus Membership Rewards® Points, up to 3 times

I got this offer and just paid BCC rates through Sniip with the Amex.

Transaction has turned up on Amex appearing as BCC MOBILE APP BRISBANE, not prefixed with SNIIP as is usually the case with other payments I've made with Sniip. Naturally, no bonus points.

What have I done wrong?

I think I have a different baseline - foreign spending goes on my US Chase, which gives me a lower US$1/point earning, with 0% fee, and much better flexibility in a program that is 1:1 to EI/AC/AF/BA/EK/IB/B6/SQ/WN/UA/VS.

Edit: I just saw this is 3 bonus points (so it's 5 MR per $1). That's a bit more compelling

I did the same in mid-Oct.

I had 3x 1,250pts post 02 Nov.

The bonus points don’t specifically say Sniip, but I don’t know what else would be 3 x 1,250.

Have you checked your Nov points?

Did you scan a QR code on the bill?

*Please note, when scanning the Sniip QR Code, your biller will be paid directly and you may not earn uncapped credit card points when paying with a rewards based credit card.

They are doing a disservice to loyal customers by targeting Amex owned offers like bonus points on foreign spend to users who haven’t put foreign spend through the card. I didn’t get it on my plat (which has had plenty of foreign spend) but did get it on my plat reserve.

Exactly the same for me.

 

[Dave G]

Yep - Me too.
Any downsides to using the Reserve ?

Got me there. Damn... what a trap.

Ah well, live and learn

I received it on my card even though I'd used it for the first time on 2 smallish foreign currency transactions 2 months ago
