Unfortunately no, this is only for AMEX issues cards
Westpac Amex is from Amex
I just got a direct email with this offer for one of the recent Westpac Amex cards, so check your email and you may be able to.
Yes. I have sup cards on my black. No spend for the 3k points 2months ago.
yes you can since the card is issued and managed by Amex.
If you are targeted, yes. I received this offer on my DJ Amex, so cobrands are eligible.
Step Two: Additional cardholder to spend $750 for the first 3 months
Do you have a link which says this?
I received an email which stated the above three steps - Can't see anything online yet
@OP is this via email, online promo? Just trying to figure out how you are able to tell if eligible.
I got this offer via email. i assume its targeted to anyone who doesn't have any additional cards attached to their main card.
I received this via email - There may be a chance this is targeted, but it's not clear at this stage.
I'd login to your AMEX portal to see if you can see it in your offer section.
No email and nothing I can see online about it :(
I do already have a few supp cards on my accounts
Not sure about OP, but I received this promo via email.
If anyone wants a hand feel free to give me the card and I'll make sure you hit the $750 min spend.
Please post your full name and address here and I'll send you the card.
Will there be any annual fee charged for this supplementary card?
No, just once for the primary
No. Generally up to 4 supps with no additional fee
Depends on your card. Most common one with a supplementary annual fee is a David Jones AMEX (Black) card.
i got the email i am a westpac altitude customer with no additional cards
I have heard of people adding the same supplementary person multiple times to get this offer. Has anyone really done this and got the points multiple times? Also allows you to have more cards for the Amex offers.
I recieved the same email and already have a sup on the card.
Looks like ill be adding anotherDo utilities count towards spend?
question, when it come to offer will the additional card have the same offer? same cashback for both card?
You'll have to register the additional card for that particular offer. If you enable it on your primary as well then you can use the offer twice.
Damn I added a supplementary card just a few days ago, I wonder if I can still get the bonus

What is 3000 points worth? Roughly?
$36.00 @1.2c each
How to get 1.2c per point?
@kerfuffle: I dont quite follow..? How can u transfer points to another ppl? Thats only for qantas pts right? Not for something like westpac altitude pts?
@OzFrugie: Only for Qantas and Velocity. Dunno about Westpac Altitude. Guess you can't sell yours then.
with the november shop small around the corner, this will be good timing.
In the past, wasn't this deal often available with no minimum spend?
yes
Just spoke AMEX online chat to confirm offer before I applied:
Currently we do not have any ongoing bonus offers of 3,000 points for adding Supplementary Cards
Once there is such an offer available, we will notify all our Cardmembers
You at 13:00, Oct 22:
are some people being made this offer?
Paddy at 13:01, Oct 22:
This offer was available in August 2018
You at 13:01, Oct 22:
it includes having to spend $750
Paddy at 13:02, Oct 22:
The offer that you're referring to, is for existing supplementary Cards that are inactive for past 6 months…
Once they spend $750.00, the Primary Cardmember will be eligible to receive 3,000 bonus pointsSo confused, maybe someone has more info.
Maybe it's Targeted? For what it's worth, I got e-mailed about this offer on my Velocity Escape Amex, but not my DJs Amex
A high likelihood it is targeted. The email of this offer provides the ending digits of the account number at the top.
In the text, it says:Add them to your Account with an Additional Card, and you could earn 3,000 Bonus Points
Sounds like it is even specific to the card/account that is named, for someone with multiple cards.
Confirmed with chat also. It is targeted :(
Does adding supplementary holder affect credit rating/profile of the primary holder and/or the supplementary holder him/herself?
No
How sure are u? So no downsides of having as much supplementary cards as possible then?
Considering you don't know the answer and I do, why are you questioning me as to whether I'm sure?
The only downside is that if you give these supplementary cards to other people, that they don't rack up a bill you won't be able to pay off …
I can confirm this offer is not targeted. It's available via the call centre to all card holders. Spoke with them today.
I just called to add an additional card, the call centre confirmed it is available to everyone, but you will need to spend $750 within the next 3 months.
Maybe they now told the call centre staff about it since they did not know about it yesterday. Did you have to supply proof of identity for the supplementary card holder?
Yes. They asked for the supp card’s DL.
Can confirm Purple's comment. Amex told me the same. (I have ordered a new Supp on each of my amexes that I am hoping will arrive before the Small Shop registration maxes out.) No ID required, they did ask for a drivers licence no. for the supp cardholder, but were happy to proceed without it.
Could you please tell me if this was online or on the phone. Thank you.
Hi Yola, it was a phone call.
Hi Yola, I applied online since I got the email. When calling to check on application a few days later, thought I might as well ask the question: can someone who did not receive the email access the bonus point offer? The reply was, yes, you can speak with customer support, and they can apply for you. By that, I would think to be sure to get the bonus points, and not have to argue with them later if the points do not land, it is best to apply by phone. Hope this helps.
@bluesky: Thank you New Chump and bluesky. Bluesky when you applied online did you have to provide id documents? If I did apply online I could also ask about the bonus points, keep a copy of it and have written proof if I did not get the bonus. Also do you know if the bonus offer can only be received once per card, which I did read somewhere. Thank you.
@Yola: When applied online, ID fields were optional. Read here it was needed in some cases, so part of reason for my call, as I did not want it held up due to missing ID. Provided licence as ID.
In the email offer, it does say:
This offer is limited to the first approved Additional Card
Happy with just one, so I did not ask about whether bonus offer applies to additional cards.
What was the subject line titled? Im sure I received the email but I cant seem to find the email anywhere!
Subject line: <YOUR FIRST NAME>, add a Card, add 3,000 points.
ref Additional cardholder to spend $750 for the first 3 month ,, did anyone that a screen shot rep on phone said it was within 2 months but i think they are mistaken.
They’re wrong; it’s three months. Half the people who work at Amex have NFI about their promotions and procedures
Would the supplementary card holder be able to access the account of the primary card holder? Eg. If you apply for one for your child, you may not want him/her to be able to see your own transactions.
As someone who just opened a new supplementary card - no unless they have access to your account i.e. they have your username and password
Thanks! I assume this mean they do not get their own online account, is that right?
They do get their own online account but it will only show their transactions and obviously they can enroll in offers as well.
When you receive the supplementary card and you activate it there are options to set up the online account. If you do this and keep the user name and password you can then take advantage of the special offers which you must register for on your account and the subsidiary one/s. This is what I do.
Thanks guys, for the clarifications
i have a westpac amex card with qantas program. Can I get bonus 3000 qantas points?
