I currently got Explorer with MR Gateway Setup during 100K Bonus promo last year , thinking about apply for another Amex card and wonder which type of card i still be eligible for bonus - i know that i won't get bonus for the Plat Edge as they are the same type but what about Plat Charge with 80,000 Bonus point ( different schemes to Gatewate ?? ) .
Other member have posted about David Jones Card with 40,000 Bonus ,
the highest Qantas Points on offer is 55,000 Point and Velo 50,000 .
Should i wait until higher bonus offer like in the past with 120,000 for plat charge and up to 80,000 for Qantas and Velocity Scheme provided i am eligible to received the bonus points
Thanks
Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?

Id move on the david jones amex. Dont forget a referral link.
Not challenging you, but I'm not seeing the value. What am I missing??
The value is in this is an AMEX card that you can hold even if you hold other AMEX cards. You will still get the bonus points. This is the precise situation the OP described.
It also gets the OP potentially 5 more AMEX cards for just $99. I'd be stunned if you couldn't turn that into a $1000+ profit by utalising AMEX cash backs over the next 12 months.
I can see potential for some cash back earn (saving) but they seem to be less & less relevant to our spending patterns (suspect the change is our pattern / priorities though, rather than AMEX)
I'm expecting at least $1000 cashback for each of my AMEX accounts in 2017.
The year is not over year. There's still small shop to come.

Speaking of shop small, has anyone heard anything about when it may come back at all?
Id move on the David Jones AMEX. Don't forget a referral link to get you extra sign up bonus points.
Bonus points will still be gained even if you hold or have held other AMEX cards within the last 18 months (with the exception of a DJ AMEX card). Points are very useful for SPG. Also supplementary cards are possible so that you can take advantage of cash back offer like the current Harvey Norman deal. With 5 cards from the one account you should be able to net around $200 profit for almost no work. Easily gets back the $99 annual fee and you also get the 40,000 sign up points.

How many SPG points can i get with 40,000 Amex Point , trying to look for it on Amex website but it not showing ( Gateware 2 : 1 SPG with my Explorer )
Nothing noted here:

But given how popular it has been and the 2016 history I'd expect one weekend in May to be covered by the promo, especially when noting this about 2016 action:
'Following our May and September 2016 Shop Small weekends, we will be kicking offShop Small on 31 October 2016 through to 30 November 2016' (https://shopsmallaustralia.com/faqs)
So hopefully 2 weekends may be replicated in 2017 before the month long event in November.
Thanks. Let's hope you're right! Have taken out a few supp cards in anticipation!
Name of the person , relationship , address and ID details ( to check the person is resident in oz )
Should be fairly simple to cancel over the phone .
Question for people linking explorer and plat edge: My gateway bonus points swept over into Ascent today, which is great (120k points there now). However, my explorer card still seems linked to gateway and is accruing more points there. Is the linking a separate process to the manual points transfer and does it take longer (ie. I should wait) or do I need to call up again to get them properly linked?
Thanks for any advice.
