    No Auto One this year. I was hoping to save on some high temp silicone.

  • Slave1 on 30/10/2018 - 07:43

    So is the fact that you can only use the offer once per merchant a new thing this year? Too bad cause $20 Opal top ups each day for a week would have been nice.

    Missed out on participating last year so this is my first time registering.

      Not a new thing. But doesn't stop you from topping up Opal cards from different stores…

  • endolphin on 30/10/2018 - 07:49

    Does anyone else think that it is a bit ridiculous how excited everyone gets over this deal? A saving of $50 or $100 or maybe $150. Nothing to sneeze at, sure, but hardly going to change lives.

    In comparison one good cc deal could net 10 times those amounts.

    Just trying to understand the hype. Am I missing something?

    • easternculture on 30/10/2018 - 07:53

      Most ozbargainers have 5+ cards

      I myself have 12 and I know a few that have 20.

      The more you have, the more you save on everyday purchases. It's also a time to stock up groceries, meat etc for the upcoming months

      Also a popular purchase is Opal and other transport cards topups

      • endolphin on 30/10/2018 - 07:59

        12 cards? I'm guessing this precludes you from churning other credit cards? Curious how much value you get per year from these 12 cards?

        • easternculture on 30/10/2018 - 08:05
          +1

          Savings so far

          Shop small $600 on groceries (this month)
          Amex Vogue $1200 on gift cards
          BP app offer $240 on fuel
          BP in January $120 on Coles Myer gift cards
          Red energy offer $400 on gas and electricity bills

          There are more but I can only remember these ATM

          All cards are free except the platinum edge which costs me $60 after I sell the travel credit for $140

          Don't think most ozbargainer have 5+ Amex cards. Must be limited to elite ozbargainers like you @easternculture

            +5

            @ujwols: U'd be surprised how many people have 5+ cards, its not hard as you can normally have 4 supp. cards for free.

            • danielh on 30/10/2018 - 09:49

              @joeiwu: I think the days of people with 5+ Amex cards is dying out now that most of the Big Four (Westpac excepted) will have dropped their Amex offerings.

              This means that for a couple (no older kids or relatives we would trust to give a supp to), you could in one year have a Westpac Amex, Amex provided Amex and then supplementary cards given to each other to get a total of four per person. Of course for some people such as myself, the NEXT year when you have to start paying annual fees, you might end up dropping that Amex card and then you will drop to either just one card or even ZERO as you may not want to pay the Westpac Amex fees.

              My wife has some home loans with Westpac so will be keeping her Westpac Amex as default and so I'm going to drop from four cards to one in the next few months.

              My situation is: CBA Amex (losing it Nov 2018), Velocity Amex (losing it Feb 2019), Velocity Amex Supp (losing it Feb 2019), Westpac Amex Supp (from Wife so not losing it).

              Come next year March or April 2019, I will be eligible to re-apply for the Westpac Amex again for that fee free period (have to wait 12 months) but then again this will only be for 12 months before I drop it again.

              Amex issued cards have an 18 month wait cycle so even worse for me when recycling. going to be a rocky next few years trying to maximise these deals for me and the wife.

              • joeiwu on 30/10/2018 - 10:26

                @danielh: Thats true, however we just have a modest number of cards (I have Explorer and AMEX Westpac, wife has Essentials, no annual fee) and it wasn't hard for us to apply for 4 more cards to each primary card holder to make the count 15. For deals like this, you cannot beat having the more cards the merrier. I know that previously some supplementary cards have the same number as the primary card holders, which makes the card pretty much useless.

                But all AMEX issued cards (including the Westpac one) has different card numbers.

                • danielh on 30/10/2018 - 11:37

                  @joeiwu: Are you going to keep those cards after the first year and pay the yearly fee (excluding the fee for life one)?

                  It is an interesting option to consider though. A fee free Amex issued one might be interesting for me if I'm willing to give up the 12/18 month cycles of applying (getting lots of points) then dropping for 18 months (then rinse and repeat). These deals are worth about $800-$1000 to me every 30 months but is it really worth the pain of not having an Amex when I need one for deals like this?

                  Hmmmmmm, food for thought for me and the wife when out Amex Velocity cards run out end of Jan 2019.

                  • joeiwu on 30/10/2018 - 11:49

                    @danielh: Yep the fee-free one is definitely something to consider. The Explorer I am keeping for good, as its $399 with $400 of travel credit and yields extremely good points comparatively. The AMEX Westpac apparently is only $40 / annum to keep after the first year, so I may keep it too just to save the hassle? The only restriction I would have is that I won't be able to churn AMEX cards; but there are plenty of other deals to churn without touching AMEX side of things. Food for thought indeed :-)

              • Yola on 30/10/2018 - 10:53

                @danielh: "no older kids or relatives we would trust to give a supp to"
                You keep the card. As long as you can get them to agree to give you an id document if you need to provide it to AMEX. It seems that sometimes they request them and other times not. easternculture states it depends on what card you have. According to everything I have read having a supplementary card in a relatives (or other persons) name does not affect them in any way. The primary is responsible for all bills and that person is not disqualified from getting the sign up bonus if/when they want to get their own card. They can even have one and be supplementary on yours.

                • danielh on 30/10/2018 - 11:40

                  @Yola: Hmmmm thanks, more food for thought.

                  I'm now really thinking that the Fee Free Amex cards with Supplementary cards might be the better long term consideration for me.

          • easternculture on 30/10/2018 - 09:42
            -1

            @ujwols: Each Amex card can have 4 supp card holders for free . Amex limits to 2 card per member so you can easily get 10 cards

            • nightelves on 31/10/2018 - 07:47

              @easternculture: I'm curious how you got 12 cards as you have 2 main cards and 8 supplementary. Therefore it's only 10 altogether. Unless you have 4 mains cards.

      • DooDah on 30/10/2018 - 09:29

        If you don't mind me asking, what names are you registering to these supplementary cards? Just family members? Or can you have multiple cards in your own name?

        Does a supplementary card impact credit ratings? (I don't imagine it would)

        • easternculture on 30/10/2018 - 09:34

          Family members

          • DooDah on 30/10/2018 - 09:57

            @easternculture: Ok thanks. So can't have multiple cards in your own name?

            • easternculture on 30/10/2018 - 09:58

              @DooDah: 2 main cards

              Supp has to be in other names.

              However you can elect to have them initial and surname on the card

          Amex asked me to provide ID numbers for the new supplementary card holder so keep that in mind before you start ordering supps for random people.

          • Peck on 30/10/2018 - 10:12

            @capslock: They do ID checks against drivers licence, medicare card etc. Yes they have to be real people!!

      The most common usage being Opal and Myki

  • Prince K on 30/10/2018 - 08:06

    For the 5 different places rule, can anyone confirm if it's 5 different places for one card or for all supplementary cards as well?

    So for shop A, B, C, D , E, would I be able to use it four times at each shop because I have 4 cards (1 main + 3 sup)?

    Thanks in advance. Excited to be jumping on board this year

    • Bills22 on 30/10/2018 - 08:07

      Yes, you will be to. It will be no problem at all as the supp cards are counted as separate cards.

      To add to this, if you want to buy an $80 item and the store doesn't let you split payment across your 4 cards, see if you can buy 4 X $20 store gift cards. Then pay for your $80 item with your GCs. That's how I've been buying half price sneakers at Culture King etc over the past few years

  • LittleDon on 30/10/2018 - 08:12

              The Amex Connect page (aka "manually register") was the same as every other offer too.
