This is basically the business version of the Amex Platinum Charge Card that has previously posted. Obviously the large annual fee will not suit everyone but this card could be useful for business owners who can claim this as a business expense.

The list of benefits for this card is quite extensive but some of the highlights include the 100,000 bonus points (110,000 through referral) which can be transferred to Qantas and most other airlines at 1:1. Note also the higher point earn rate on advertising, couriers or computer equipment as shown below.

Also get unlimited access to Virgin Australia, Priority Pass and American Express airline lounges globally for the cardholder + one supplementary cardholder.

Rewards (MR Ascent Premium):
- 2 points per $1 spent at eligible restaurants, airlines, accommodation, foreign currency, advertising, couriers and computer equipment
- 2 points per $ on overseas spend

- Monthly Business Expenses Insurance means you'll receive protection in the event you're temporarily unable to run your business, to a maximum of $12,000.

    0p seems to be milking OzBargain for referral credit.
    Based on his last few posts…

    Just an observation…

      So referrals are given to more members…

        The original post should make it clear that the bonus points are not only available via his personal referral link, BUT ALSO BY THE RANDOM REFERRAL LINK. Very badly worded - methinks deliberately.

    • Up to 99 Supplementary Cards for your employees at no additional cost

    Wow…

    Wow $1500

  • glassyan on 11/04/2017 - 00:27

    This is certainly one of those cards that if you have to ask why, then it is not for you. Very hard to see value out of this unless it is for a business and want to issue supplementary cards to their employees while earning decent point on spending.

    i have one of these supplied by work, its good, I spend about 5k a month half to all of that is work expenses, then at the end of the year my boss gives me $1000 gift card. im im probably being ripped off because he gets around 9k of points a month.

      …except that it's your bosses money you're spending so he's entitled to collect the points and you're lucky to get $1,000 out of it!

      Aside from that, the points value on these cards is a way better return than regular cards, when you consider the spending is likely entirely written off as a business expense.

  • ajobbins on 11/04/2017 - 01:11

    Assuming the 99 additional cardholders don't get the perks? 100 Virgin Lounge memberships for $1500 would be a pretty good deal!

    • Holysmoke on 11/04/2017 - 06:29

      Only 1 other gets lounge access but all covered for travel insurance.

      • wolfazrael123 on 11/04/2017 - 09:42

        all card holders get lounge access to Amex Lounge, probably no access to other lounge. but supplementary card holder only get limited travel insurance.

        I have one supplementary card and I'm happy with free lounge access in sydney, my boss is happy with his points, he currently has almost 1 million points.

      • ajobbins on 11/04/2017 - 12:41

        On the amex website it says "Your Platinum Business Card comes with complimentary Virgin Lounge access. Simply show your Card and Virgin Australia boarding pass to gain entry"

        Is there some kind of identifier on the primary vs. additional cards? Otherwise, how would lounge staff know the difference?

        • Peck on 18/04/2017 - 20:37

          I think that this has been covered elsewhere and people say that supp. card holders have been successful.
