Hi, been reading this thread as its going to be affecting me shortly. I understand that the loophole may no longer be there. Would someone be able to confirm which loophole this is;
1.) Had previous Ascent, signed up for Explorer (which automatically reverted Explorer to Ascent program), attempt to unlink explorer to gateway, spend $1500, Pocket 110000 points. Loophole is specific to earning the bonus, even after having a previously held Amex or;
2.) 110000 points in gateway, Also have Ascent, call to CSR to link gateway to Ascent. Loophole is specific to transferring Gateway points to Ascent thus pocking the conversion?
Im currently in the second scenario, thinking about getting a Platinum Edge. I already have got the bonus from earlier (even though i had an Amex Qantas card). If the closed loophole is 2.), I may think other wise.
Thanks guys in advance, always a fan of this forum.
