The Explorer Credit Card (New AMEX Card!)

In my experience The Philipinos are useless. It's as if they're reading a script and not using any common sense. Or they don't have any

Eg when I couldn't log in to my system I called up and asked them to verify something .
They replied 3 times, to log in and to check it myself. Despite me saying that I couldn't log in


When I get an aussie rep. I've found they are very good.
I had a problem that lasted 3 weeks and about 6 phone calls previously That got nowhere. I called an Aussie guy and it was fixed in ten minutes with full apologies and 20k bonus points

Sent a recommendation of promotion of that staff member to head office.
Hope he got it


Back to. Topic but I did use my travel credit over the phone once

I was told by Philipoino staff that I could book the same hotel a few days apart with the one travel credit. So. I called and this was not true. However I ended up booking consecutive days over the phone


I. Don't know what to believe now
 
just called up as I had a problem with my travel booking using my travel credit, and they did it over the phone for me,
they did say it was a once off,

not sure what to believe now
 
Starting this april AMEX only give 0.5MR / $1 spent at australia post checkout using PAYPAL :(

For the past 12 months, I been enjoying 2MR / $1 spent...

Looks like amex system are getting smarter now :(

Is there an official announcement

That would suck
 
noooo, not postbillpay :(

I used it last on 29/03 and it came in as 2ppd.
will pay my electricity soon so lets see what I get
 
Ouch. Can confirm the Australia post PayPal route 0.5pts per dollar started on 3rd of April. Didn't even notice until you mentioned it. Luckily they were just small charges.

Postbillpay may still be 2 pts per dollar with PayPal

Postbillpay with paypal is 0.5MR. No hope now. Winner is rewardpay :)
 
could try writing a macro but then it would be one macro per merchant
overall still slower though, i agree

EDIT: using V1, could get 3ppd if using platinum edge to buy them

I had to pay some bills a week ago through on paypal. just checked, definitely 0.5ppd,

its a sad day, thank fully there are other options, albeit a bit more time consuming
 
Earn rates on the amex travel website has been cut.

Used to be 2ppd + 1 bonus ppd. The bonus is now gone. I booked in Jan to use my travel credit and got the bonus. Booked another in March to use another travel credit and no bonus 1ppd
