Found this platinum edge card that still offers a FREE return Virgin flight every year. Expires tonight but might possibly get extended.

$149 welcome bonus: Just apply by 31 January 2017, be approved and spend five (5) times on your new Card within the first two months and we’ll credit your account with $149

Also, cant see any information about charging a fee for Qantas Direct Membership (possibly FREE)

They do not ask for any AMA membership information in the application. Ive tested it right until the submission of the application.

  • $149 welcome bonus
  • Reduced annual Card fee of $149 p.a. for AMA members (usually $195. Save $46 p.a.)
  • An annual Complimentary return domestic economy flight with Virgin Australia (Membership Rewards Ascent enrollees only)
  • Complimentary domestic and international Travel Insurance
  • Choose the Rewards program that suits you best – then earn points on your everyday purchases. Choose either Membership Rewards Ascent or Qantas Direct
  • 0% p.a. on balance transfers for the first 12 months
  • Add up to four (4) Supplementary Card Members with no annual Card fee

Enjoy

    /eaedge/ if you are an engineer or /caedge/ if you are an accountant

    Not sure if either asks for any details

      I'm considering applying for this one to replace my platinum edge that lost the free flight

      • hotmustardsauce on 31/01/2017 - 15:39

        apparently some people holding the card have reportedly received notice that the free flight has changed to $200 credit.

        The landing page just hasn't been updated.

        • shopbot on 31/01/2017 - 15:52

          Yes. You have to book your free return flight before 30th March. After that, it will change to the $200 travel credit. Also flights includes check-in baggage. Info came from AMEX customer service.

          He isn't making a false claim my brother already received the notice a couple of weeks ago though I can't recall if I receive mine.

          @shopbot:

          Time to upgrade to an Explorer card then!

          Can confirm free flight has been changed to travel credit.

          Did your brother have an AMA card?

          @easternculture:

          Bro I think this pretty much applies to all Platinum Edge cards range regardless of professional body affiliation.

          @Speedz:

          well if you apply today, you can still claim a free flight before the end of march.

          Then cancel the card

        • Speedz on 31/01/2017 - 18:48

          @easternculture:

          Well according to their T&Cs…

          https://web.aexp-static.com/au/content/pdf/cardmember/platin…

          (7.) To qualify for a Flight, you must have paid the Minimum Amount on
          your first and most recent Platinum Edge Credit Card statements by
          the due date and have maintained your account with American Express
          in good standing.

          (18.) American Express reserves the right to refuse Flight benefits where
          there is reasonable suspicion of attempted or actual fraud or misuse.
          If you obtain a Flight benefit to which you are not entitled, you agree
          to pay us the normal fare for that Flight plus all applicable taxes.

        i think the page needs to be updated EC. theres a link in the T&Cs which directs you to "amexmore.com.au", and when you click on "flights", it shows only the amex qantas ultimate and velocity platinum as the only cards which give you a complimentary flight.

        Here are couple of more options for you ….

        https://www.americanexpress.com/au/content/ma/

        Looks like they don't ask for membership information with any of these applications … but still can reject the application at a later stage.

    • theguyrules on 31/01/2017 - 15:58

      Hmm I'm an Engineers Australia member… I wonder if I can switch over to the EA one.

  • [Deactivated] on 31/01/2017 - 15:39

    AMA = Australian Medical Association?

    Just so I'm clear, you have to choose Membership Rewards program (as opposed to QF Direct) in order to claim the annual free flight?

    Also, I just signed up to and was approved for the ANZ Travel Adventures Card, attempting to sign up for this one won't adversely affect my CR?

    • tunzafun001 on 31/01/2017 - 20:59

      Correct. If you chose Qf you won't get the free flight. As for your CR there are plenty of options to check it for free online.

    Flight is being changed to $200 in march
    This card included
    "All information is correct as at 7 September 2016 and is subject to change" in terms

      Australian Medical Association.

  • flashi007 on 31/01/2017 - 15:59

    Can you get those Amex shopping deals with this card?

    • rickb on 31/01/2017 - 16:06

      Yes

    What are you going to do if they ask for your AMA membership number EC?

    They should just make an ozbargain American express platinum edge card, /ozedge

    • timmysbiscuits on 31/01/2017 - 18:19

      We are professionals after all… ;)

  • dd101 on 31/01/2017 - 20:00

    Here's a whole list for Engineers Australia. Seems to have similar offers and a reduced rate which is nice for those on a plat edge or plat reserve.

  • osh89g on 31/01/2017 - 22:43

    Not worth it atm, the platinum edge is free for the first year plus you get 15000 points with a referal link. There is no referal link available for this card.

    • easternculture on 31/01/2017 - 22:47

      you get 15000 points with a referal link.

      If you pay the $199 annual fee

      The free first year only gets you 5000 points

      • osh89g on 31/01/2017 - 22:52

        Only get 5,000 if you have already held this card in the last 18 months. New members get 15,000 points

      "All information is correct as at 7 September 2016 and is subject to change" and has changed

      • easternculture on 02/02/2017 - 10:25

        Also offering free flight on the professionals website too https://www.americanexpress.com/au/content/ma/, they did update the offers as they removed a card

        • aussman on 02/02/2017 - 11:28

          All information is correct as at 27 July 2016 and is subject to change
