    Does it means only 1 X $5000 points to be rewarded?

    • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 11/09/2019 - 23:29

      Supposed to be 1 X per account. Of course, if you have multiple cards you could test this theory ;)

      $5000 lul

  • SnoozeAndLose on 11/09/2019 - 23:37

    problem is when I log into Amex, no message pop up and no email notification

      Give it a few days, then call or go on the online chat to ensure your account is eligible. From what I've noticed in previous campaigns, these things get promoted in batches

  • Jono258 on 12/09/2019 - 06:57

    Is this best offer or do they ever offer more for additional card holder?

    • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 12/09/2019 - 13:51

      It's been 5k for many years now (deal comes and goes). It's best if you have an Amex with Qantas or Velocity since MR is only worth 2,500 points when you send it across.

  • Ozimodo on 12/09/2019 - 07:55

    Confirmed with Amex via chat that the bonus points will apply if the supp card holder has had a supp card from your account before.

    • sapsol on 12/09/2019 - 08:12

      Nice, just removed one from mine. Thx.

  • ellave on 12/09/2019 - 08:08

    My amex is linked to QFF so I assume this is 5000 amex points? If so does 5000 get you anything?

    • vikvance on 12/09/2019 - 10:58

      2 amex rewards = 1 QFF

      So you'll get 2500 QFF points.

      • justinp12 on 12/09/2019 - 11:34
        +1

        No necessary true, my rewards program is QFF and I got 5,000 QFF points. I believe the promo is just 5,000 points to your applicable rewards program.

    • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 12/09/2019 - 13:53

      If you have a card that earns directly into QF or VA you will get a full 5k points. If you earn MR you will get 2,500 (for most airline partners).

    Good time to stock up supp card to be ready for Amex Small Shop in November.

  • CyberMurning on 12/09/2019 - 10:30

    Please Can someone explain thanks?

    Is it that easy to get supp cards for say children, parents, uncles etc? Some has like 10 or 20 I heard.

    Are they need to be in the same address as me, the main holder? What kind of ID I need to provide? And Income proof?

    Then for each card we need to register online, correct? With different email addresses?
    Thanks.

    • sukari on 12/09/2019 - 10:59

      With Amex it's a pretty straight forward form.. gives you a bunch of 'relationship' types to choose from.

      You may need to provide ID like Driver's License but the address doesn't have to be the same.

      Double check the card though, some may start charging for additional supp cards after a while.. the one I have is 4 free supp cards.

      • CyberMurning on 12/09/2019 - 13:05

        I have the basic essentials one (white colour)

    • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 12/09/2019 - 13:52

      There's an age restriction of 16. Apart from that, you can give a sup to anyone you want. Doesn't have to be direct relatives. Keep in mind that you are 100% liable for any transactions.

      • CyberMurning on 12/09/2019 - 13:53

        Someone said dog and cat and little baby?

        • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 12/09/2019 - 13:55

          You can do that but keep in mind that this could be considered fraud if found out.

        • andylch on 13/09/2019 - 22:09

          Yes, if your baby is over 16.

    • flam on 18/09/2019 - 07:54

      I applied and they called me earlier this week - they needed their full name, mobile, asked if they were living in Australia, and asked for driver licence/passport/medicare number. That was it - no income check.

  • vikvance on 12/09/2019 - 11:03
    +1

    Income proof is not needed for Supp cards. You'll be personally liable for anything spent on your Supp cards.

  • toobzy on 12/09/2019 - 11:16

    So just ID is required? Will that person get a credit check on their file?

    • madreece on 12/09/2019 - 11:20

      No credit checks and not normally an ID check. I know I didn't need one for my cat or my dog's card.

      • CyberMurning on 12/09/2019 - 12:13

        Wow that is crazy we can even get one for fictional name. Surely the system is broken full of holes…

        They made my rabbit jump through hoops for it to be approved.

        • CyberMurning on 12/09/2019 - 13:05

          Ok that's fair enough. I like rabbits.

      • jlim87 on 17/09/2019 - 22:00

        Did you actually get a supplementary amex card for your dog? Cause that's amazing if you did. So you just left all the optional fields blank?

        • madreece on 18/09/2019 - 08:05
          +3

          Yep, and the cat. Value for when it's Small Shop time and signing up for stackable offers.Just tick what you want on the form. Trust me. Amex don't care as long as you are spending money on their cards.

    • Yola on 12/09/2019 - 14:45

      Did not check id when I did it. Maybe get one with the same initial as your name for when you need to prove identity.

      • CyberMurning on 12/09/2019 - 15:12

        Like Andy, Allan, Andrew, Abigail, Annie, Angela Murray hehe

  • CyberMurning on 12/09/2019 - 13:06

    Wait…. If I create lots of supp with different names, Westfield will check my Id to match the cards before I can buy gift cards, correct?

    • gm3stevens on 12/09/2019 - 13:46

      Yes. Myer as well!

      • CyberMurning on 12/09/2019 - 13:55

        Nope Myers didn't check my id. Maybe because Bought one only

    Thanks OP. Easy 5K points:-)

  • coolsteps on 12/09/2019 - 17:11

    if your main account already has a supplementary card can you add another and still qualify for this promo or is it just for main account holders that dont have any current supplementary cards?

    • SnoozeAndLose on 12/09/2019 - 17:33
      +1

      Just add 1 into your account. Doesn't matter you have supplementary card before and cancelled or you have 1 card and add extra one.

      • coolsteps on 12/09/2019 - 17:37

        ok great already have 2 supps will try and add another pet rabbit

    • mastablasta on 13/09/2019 - 11:23

      I just asked this question on Live Chat, and this was the guy's response:

      The first Supplementary Card that you add during this offer period, will be eligible for you to receive 5,000 bonus points.

      • SnoozeAndLose on 13/09/2019 - 13:35

        The first one that you add on top of what you have in your account. You can have none or up to 3.

  • DealWatcher27 on 12/09/2019 - 21:30

    How many additional cards can one main holder apply?

    • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 12/09/2019 - 23:36

      To get the points? One. In general? depends on the card you hold, check the T&Cs

      • Yola on 13/09/2019 - 16:27

        Four supplementary on Westpack Black and AMEX Discovery.

  • coolsteps on 14/09/2019 - 00:29

    has anyone gotten the offer on their business amex? i have it only on my personal cards

  • anna10 on 14/09/2019 - 14:52

    No sure whether it's happening with everyone else but it seems the Woolies spend $20 get $10 back even appears on the supplementary cards when creating a new account. YMMV.

    • SydOzber on 15/09/2019 - 15:15

      good to know.
      Just applied for one online. Thanks Op

  • jlim87 on 16/09/2019 - 14:25

    Hang on, so are people just signing up fictional people? I see a drop down option for Friend or Other. Since the primary account holder is liable, they don't seem to do any verification. Can anyone confirm they've done this?

    • or4nge on 16/09/2019 - 15:48

      I added my spouse as an additional cardholder on Friday. Surname is hyphenated, omitted hyphen (so it fits into the form's surname field), supplied spouse's (optional) licence number. Today received a call (!) from AmEx to confirm some details before the application can be processed (apparently the supplied surname didn't match surname during licence check). So, assuming the rules are not as relaxed as some may think or maybe it was just a bad luck for me.

      • CyberMurning on 16/09/2019 - 15:59

        Well you said optional so what if we don't supply any kind of id?

        • or4nge on 16/09/2019 - 16:02

          Try it, I guess. I actually supplied that licence number thinking they won't have any questions if they need to validate it …

    • flam on 18/09/2019 - 07:56
      +1

      They called me to asked for supp cardholder's full name, whether they lived in Australia and a passport/medicare/driver licence number - said they would do some electronic search.

  • vikvance on 18/09/2019 - 00:54

    I tried to add the supplementary card to Google Pay, and it says that a call to Amex would be needed before it can be added.

    Would Amex be OK with me calling up & confirming that the card can be added ? Or, would they need to speak with the supplementary card holder before approving it ?

    Would they be upset if I add the supplementary card to the same Google Pay account as my main card ?

    • kerfuffle on 18/09/2019 - 05:28

      Would they be upset if I add the supplementary card to the same Google Pay account as my main card ?

      Unless you already have five Amex cards on Google Pay, no. I have two primary cards and two supplementary cards on mine. How many Amex cards do you have on Google Pay? I heard there was a limitation of five or six, which is probably why you have to call Amex …

    • flam on 18/09/2019 - 07:58

      They don't need to speak to the supp card holder. I couldn't apply online and had to call them. Next day they called me and asked for some additional details (supp cardholder's full name, whether they live in Aus and passport/medicare/driver licence number) and then told me straight away they were approved and I would get additional card in mail within 1-2 weeks.

    • Micky14 on 24/09/2019 - 18:56

      I had 2 primary cards 4 supp cards in my google pay now. Before that was 2 primary and 2 supp. The 2 supp cards did need to call amex to add them to my Gpay. I applied for another 2 supp cards for this offer. And this time the 2 new supp cards can be added to Gpay directly just in Gpay's app.

  • coolsteps on 20/09/2019 - 20:43

    if you dont see offer in my offers or get an email and add a supplementary card online will you still qualify for the 5k bonus points or does it need to be done over the phone?

    • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 21/09/2019 - 02:52

      It's not in offers. Usually shows as a pop up when you visit the website. No activation needed. If you want to make sure, call up and check if your account is eligible

    • blueyez on 01/10/2019 - 14:21

      According to live chat it's automatic

  • PorkHunt on 29/09/2019 - 12:04

    How long did it take you guys to receive your supp cards?

    • kerfuffle on 29/09/2019 - 16:11

      I think about a week or so; it was really fast

    • or4nge on 01/10/2019 - 14:51

      Same, took about a week to arrive

    • blueyez on 11/10/2019 - 13:09

      I'm still waiting - over a week now. Very unimpressed as every time i contact them i get a different answer.

      Running out of time for the spend!

  • blueyez on 01/10/2019 - 14:07

    Just confirmed via live chat this is good for my Westpac Amex :)

    • or4nge on 01/10/2019 - 14:52

      Can confirm the same as mine is also Westpac Amex.
