Receive 20,000 Membership Reward points (or 15,000 Qantas Points) when you spend outside of David Jones three times within the first month of receiving your Card. Note, you must not have held another David Jones credit card product within the last 18 months.

Also, If you use one of the referral links on Ozbargain, you can get an introductory 30,000 Membership Rewards points (or 22,500 Qantas points) instead of the standard 20,000 Membership Rewards points.

As well as the welcome bonus, on an ongoing basis you get:

  • Earn 3 Reward Points per dollar spent at major supermarkets and petrol stations
  • Earn 2 Reward Points per dollar spent at David Jones
  • Earn 1 Reward Point per dollar spent everywhere else

*Choose either Membership Rewards or Qantas Frequent Flyer as your rewards program

1 Reward Point = 1 Membership Reward point or
1 Reward Point = 0.75 Qantas Points

  • Access a great range of exclusive, complimentary instore benefits at David Jones. Including free standard delivery on most orders from David Jones.

  • $29 annual fee per Supplementary Card holder with no annual fee for the first year for new Supplementary Card holders.

  • Competitive annual Card fee of $99

Why would you want this card?

There are other deals, like the Explorer and the Platinum Edge that are better value, but the benefit of this card is that existing American Express cardholders are not excluded from receiving the sign-up bonus, as per the terms below:

"Customers applying for the David Jones American Express Staff Card or Card Members who currently hold or who have previously held any other David Jones Credit Card product issued by American Express Australia Limited in the preceding 18 month period are ineligible for this offer."

It is also easy to meet the minimum spend criteria, unlike other cards which require you to spend a certain amount only three transactions are needed.

What can you do with the points?

You can either opt in to Qantas points and redeem them through Qantas as per usual. Otherwise, you can earn David Jones American Express points and these can be converted to a range or airline and hotel programs, including Virgin Australia Velocity (2 DJ points = 1 Velocity point) and Starwood Preferred Guest (2 DJ points = 1 SPG point).

  • where are the referral links ?

  • +1

    The mods usually add them to the bottom of the deal, but you can also access them through this link:

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/americanexpress.com#refin…

  • Its interesting how the referal pointa are higher than the actual deal itself!

    • It's 30,000MR instead of 20,000MR (50% increase), not 30,000 + 20,000.

  • +2

    1.5 SPG/$ at major supermarkets and petrol stations is pretty solid.

    • And the discounted Woolworths Gift Cards through Cashrewards count as spend at a supermarket for this purpose too.

  • What's the best points to convert to? QFF or MR? Like, if I have 100,000MR and 75,000 QFF, what gets me more?

    • +1

      Too many variables to answer easily.

      It’s a tricky question to answer. My short answer would be that Membership Rewards points are inherently more valuable because they are flexible and can be used for many different frequent flyer programs. Through the option to transfer to Starwood Preferred Guest you can also redeem points for free hotel nights which can save you heaps and free hotel rooms are otherwise hard to earn through points.

      But at the same time, you can definitely find good value with 75k Qantas points, and it’s also easier to build up a balance of them in Australia so they have their own uses as well!

  • Does being a Supplementary cases holier count as having had a card for the DJ Amex?

    • +1

      Nope, having a supplementary card does not exclude you from the welcome bonus.

  • if you have the David Jones Storecard does that exlude you from the offer? how much gift cards value can you get with 30k MR?

    • I think it would exclude you unfortunately, as that is a David Jones product issued through American Express.

      26,600 MR points gets you $200 of David Jones gift cards.
      or 30,000 MR points gets you $150 of Woolworths gift cards.

      You can also redeem the 30,000 MR points directly as a statement credit for $150.

  • Does DJ amex receive less target offer than Amex issued card? Or the target offer is depends on your spending?

    • Noone really knows the targeting criteria but I haven’t noticed any difference

      • Thanks, I am trying to find a bank issued Amex to replace my Amex amex and wait for 18 months to get the sign up bonus points:)

  • If signing up through referral (to get 30,000 points), is there still min spend required before 30,000 points get credited?

    • with DJ amex the card just needs to be used 3 times outside DJ i think - no min spend

      • Thanks, so consensus is I should use referral to sign up as this way it is 30,000 vs 20,000?

        • yup correct 30000 for you.
