American Express has added a sign on offer to their no annual fee Amex Essential Card:
Receive a $50 Dining Credit* when you apply online by 13 March 2019, are approved and spend $50 or more in one or more transactions, on the new Card at Deliveroo or Rockpool Dining Group restaurants, within the first month from the Card approval date.
To be eligible for the offer, you must not have held a credit card issued directly by Amex Australia in the last 18 months. Note that you are eligible if you’ve held an Amex card issued by a bank or if you're an additional cardholder on someone else’s primary card account (including a corporate account).
Benefits:
- No annual fee
- Earn up to 1 Membership Rewards points for every $1 spent on eligible purchases.
- Smartphone Screen Insurance of up to $500 for screen repairs, twice a year, to your smartphone when you pay for your phone or contract with your card
- 0% p.a. on balance transfers for the first 12 months — A one-off credit plan establishment fee of 3% applies to any balances transferred.
- Buyers advantage, purchase protection, refund protection and online fraud protection.
Card is great if you’re just after Amex Offers (eg. theFork, The Iconic, Woolworths etc.) and accessing pre-sale concert tickets/entertainment lounges, whilst avoid paying an annual fee.
As someone who just paid $280 for a screen replacement this card seems like a good one to keep in the drawer with the $0 annual fee.
$50 on deliveroo seals the deal.
