    Great deal. You can often get the points but free membership for a year is really good.

    Edit: just realised this is business rather than personal.

    • Word to that. They must really need to get their subsriber numbers up. Tight time frame to get it all in the next 2 weeks but excellent value!

    Does this have the usual 18month no Amex rule? Or different rules being a business card?

    • Interested to know as well.

      • +1

        yeah it does added terms to post

    • Does this have the usual 18month no Amex rule?

      Yes, and furthermore, this includes personal cards, to determine the 18 months exclusion.

  • Available for current AMEX holders?

  • +2

    For your info, 100k points is worth $500 you buy Coles or Woolworths gift cards.

  • any deal for non business?

  • +1

    does the income requirement have to be ABN related?

  • I have looked into this. Not eligible for the 100K points if one already holds a personal Amex card. This is the case, even if the business applied for is a proprietary company, a separate entity.

    • no i called them , it wont be , so not eligible for the bonus points
