      I thought so too until I've realised oops this is $100/$20 whereas that one is 20% of your spend up to $40 which is quite different.

  • lovetravellinginbiz on 21/11/2017 - 07:01

    Targeted. Didn’t appear in my account.

  • matt_will_fix_it on 21/11/2017 - 07:26

    It appears in my account. American Express Qantas Discovery card.

    • Arale01 on 21/11/2017 - 07:52

      It's not in my Qantas Discovery account but is in my Gold account..

    • scar4ace on 21/11/2017 - 08:51

      Also have an Amex Qantas discovery, Where should I check for targeted offers? I thought amex got rid of amexconnect login.

      Is it offers tab on the account login via web browser? - I can see the 3m stan offer as "available" and 2 offers saved to card. Amex mobile app doesn't have the stan offer just the 2 saved to card.

      • scar4ace on 21/11/2017 - 09:35

        You can log in Amex account and check the offer tab. If you have a mobile app you can check there too

  • newgas on 21/11/2017 - 08:06

    Reading the full t&c's, would an ebay purchase be classified as 'third party'?

    C. Transactions that are not eligible
    The following transactions are not eligible and will not count towards your spend for the purposes of the offer:
    * transactions where you do not spend directly with the merchant (for example, if you buy the merchant’s goods through a third party department store);

    • Overtime2000 on 21/11/2017 - 08:42

      I suspect that once again it will work just like all other amex cash backs. Amex never seems to know what was bought, only the source of the credit card charge matters, when it comes to triggering the cash back.

  • sudoroot on 21/11/2017 - 08:24

    Didn't get this one :(

  • edrift on 21/11/2017 - 08:24

    Will this work with eBay?

  • CheapskateQueen on 21/11/2017 - 08:33

    None of my cards got it

  • Overtime2000 on 21/11/2017 - 08:46

    Got it on my discovery card.

    Great thing about this is the "one or more transactions" thing, meaning I can make multiple smaller purchases to make up the $100

  • tghtarse on 21/11/2017 - 08:47

    Hmm wondering how I can use this to top up opal or buy gift cards..

    • tghtarse on 21/11/2017 - 17:53

      Answering my own question - either buy Westfield gift cards or Dan Murphys e gift cards and pay using PayPal.

      • DealWatcher27 on 20/12/2017 - 10:21

        I check the Dan Murphy's website but I cannot see the WISH egift card? Only the Dan Murphy's gift card.

        https://www.danmurphys.com.au/gift-cards

        • tghtarse on 21/12/2017 - 00:05

          Yes - think of them as disguised wish gift cards - at least for me.
          When you add em to the wish card iOS app, they show up perfectly and I already used them as Woolworths.

        • DealWatcher27 on 21/12/2017 - 14:07

          @tghtarse:

          I see… too bad I miss it then. I called, the operator told me it is for Dan
          Murphy and wont work for Woolworths

    If you're with Sydneywater you can pay in 2 lots of $100, can pay in advance if you want unless you are moving out soon

    • tghtarse on 21/11/2017 - 08:53

      Great idea mate, thanks

    • ignoramus on 21/11/2017 - 09:00

      Wonder if we could do that that with other utility bills when paid via Aus Post Billpay using PayPal. Already paid the water bill, but have council rates to pay.

      • bonz on 21/11/2017 - 10:04

        I wasn't aware of Aus Post Billpay using PayPal, however i think this would fall under 'third party' category

        • hanofee on 21/11/2017 - 13:17

          Just tested this to pay council rate. Got the email right away

        • Ararat on 14/12/2017 - 14:01

          I paid AGL gas bill by pay pal from there website about $100 but did not get email.i am worried

        • bonz on 15/12/2017 - 18:29

          @benhil:
          Have you checked your amex transaction record though, sometimes you don't get the email

      • ignoramus on 21/11/2017 - 10:22
        +4

        Since the rates anyway had to be paid anyway, figured I'll try anyway. So made payment of $100 via BillPay using PayPal as the payment method.

        Happy to say, received the email notification of "You’ve just used your PayPal Australia Online Amex Offer".

    Only appears on the Platinum Reserve for me - the Platinum Charge and Platinum edge seem to be excluded.

    • Ararat on 14/12/2017 - 14:04

      My Amex edge did not work even though I saved the offer and paid AGL bill by PayPal

      • Ararat on 18/12/2017 - 16:01

        Finally I got the credit

  • marketingpolice on 21/11/2017 - 09:39

    I did not get it either. Maybe they check which cards use paypal and target ones that don't?

    • sylvester328 on 21/11/2017 - 09:43

      Yes. I seconded that. That's why I got it but my wife didn't. Same card type.

      • marketingpolice on 21/11/2017 - 18:01

        Ok I am unlinking amex in paypal in protest ha ha

  • JIMB0 on 21/11/2017 - 09:43

    I got it on my low rate card but not on my Explorer. Only ever used the Explorer on PayPal for obvious reasons.

  • DealWatcher27 on 21/11/2017 - 09:46

    Alright, ozbargainers where can we get gift card / cash equivalent with this offer?

  • hippyhippy on 21/11/2017 - 10:47

    i got it under my regular amex .. is there a manual link? so i can try and apply for my bank issued amex?

    Using the Sydney Water example up there, I’ve paid a >$200 invoice and an email saying $40 will be credited. I’ve noticed this happening of late (Adriano Zumbo for example) where your spend is double the minimum amount then the 2x credit will applied in one transaction as oppose over 2. I’ve tested this theory by paying a further >$200 invoice and that transaction triggered nothing.

  • coxymla on 21/11/2017 - 11:20

    Anyone ever paid off more than the required amount for a Telstra bill?
    My internet is literally $99.

    • aragornelessar on 21/11/2017 - 12:52

      Utilities usually just hold onto the credit for the next bill - If you pay $100, you'll have a $1 credit on your next bill.

    • sneakydean on 21/11/2017 - 14:50

      Have paid more than needed before on telstra and just got the next month for free*, so no issues there

    • sylvester328 on 21/11/2017 - 11:40

      Can you use Dan Murphy gift cards from Dan Murphy web site in Woolies supermarkets? Plastic or egiftcard makes any difference in this regard?

      • Maki on 21/11/2017 - 12:38
        +3

        Confirmed that the $100 DM eGift Card I purchased, when I enter it in the Woolies Money App, it's registered as a WISH Gift Card. So, 20% off.

        • montorola on 21/11/2017 - 13:36

          Awesome, that means we can use it to buy fuel from Wooljerks too right

        • Maki on 21/11/2017 - 13:48

          @montorola: You can use a WISH gift card at all participating Woolworths Group stores and online. The specific range will vary depending on the gift card you choose but generally includes: Woolworths Group Stores. Woolworths, Big W, Big W Vision, Masters Home Improvement, BWS, Dan Murphy's, Cellarmasters and Thomas Dux.

      • coxymla on 21/11/2017 - 18:35

  • FW190 on 21/11/2017 - 14:07

    damn it, missed out again :(

  • 2racha on 21/11/2017 - 14:54

    Does that mean you can make a few separate transactions and still get the credit as long as it adds up to $100? E.g. $50 on ebay, $50 for a bill etc.

  • MelbBargainChaser77 on 21/11/2017 - 16:36

    I just paid my council rate instalment $414 and got the congratulations email saying $40 will be credited to my account. Beauty of it also is no amex surcharge that I would have paid if paying to the council directly

      Did you pay in one go? Or 2 separate txn

      • MelbBargainChaser77 on 21/11/2017 - 21:46

        1 go, I didnt care if it didnt give me the full $40 as I could have earnt it elsewhere, but gave me the full $40

    • SBOB on 21/11/2017 - 18:47

      my rates charged a 0.75% surcharge.
      So only $38.50 back for me ;)

    got offer as well

  • dazzza on 21/11/2017 - 22:33

    I normally just pay with paypal balance, so when you pay for something over $100, you select paypal, and then use the amex credit cards instead of balance ? Does it cost to have paypal take out of your credit card ? I have added the amex card in paypal, is that all you have to do. Not a big paypal user….

    • cyssero on 22/11/2017 - 13:46
      +2

      Doesn't cost to have PayPal take it out of your CC, and you earn points and get some CC chargeback protections. It's cheaper for PayPal if you use your PayPal balance, but given their propensity to freeze accounts with money in them I highly recommend you keep as little in there as possible.

      • elliebargain on 22/11/2017 - 13:51

        Is that really a thing? They froze our company account for months when we had a fair bit of money in it and were so unhelpful - none of the staff could even really tell why it was frozen. Now I always take money out of paypal straight away. I didn't realise they did this to so many others. Good advice.

        • cyssero on 22/11/2017 - 14:16
          +2

          It's happened a ridiculous amount of times to me and I've never had any chargeback issues or disputes. I know of others who have only purchased items and have also had their accounts frozen with an ask for driver's license and ID to unfreeze. I try and get money out of their as soon as possible and make sure to use my creditcard which can help with extra protection and points.

        • dazzza on 22/11/2017 - 22:09

          @cyssero:

          Thanks heaps for the advice, I will take the advice!

  • hamwhisperer on 03/12/2017 - 11:52

    Hey guys, is this $100 TOTAL on paypal over this time, or in one transaction (even from multiple sellers?)

    I suspect I'm gonna hit $100 by the date, but most of my transactions are $6 one day, $14 the next, $1.50 the next and so on.

    • hamwhisperer on 05/12/2017 - 13:44

      Sorry to bump this thread guys, but does anyone know? I've counted, I'm up to about $70 in Paypal spent in the last 10 days now, is it ok this way? Not one big paypal $100 at a shot right?

        ok as long as total gets to $100 (for $20 credit) or eventually $200 (for $40 credit)
