I wasnt going to mention this but I thought it'll be more of a benefit for us PERTH people rather than the eastern states.

I was reading the Gold class offer on the Amex Platinum Edge CC…. I noticed that there is a Annual Fee of about $149. if you live in Perth, like I do…. I noticed that the Destinations seem to faver the WA ozbarginers!(YAY!!!!)

check out the destination guide here.. coz the one on the actual gold class site dont work…

I figure it cost us perth people a few $$ to go to the eastern states.. and $149 for a return flight was a bit of a bargin… considering it can cost up to $150 for just for oneway… plus you get some gold class movie tickets thrown in!!

I'd personally consider going to Brissie just for this deal alone…. I understand its about $180 at a sale price… normally about $250 odd without a sale … from perth

But I would double check before making any applications!!

  Not sure what they're worth but the movie vouchers appear to be in place of the points 15-20,000 for spending $500 in 2 months.

  Pretty crap deal to be honest. Not only is the card $149 per year but the interest rate is over %20.

    You pay interest? $149 for 6 gold class sessions and return flight sounds like a bargain to me. just cancel it after the first 12 months.

    If you have to worry about the interest rate than you really shouldn't be looking at a card that has rewards. Cards that come with rewards are for people who pay off their card in full each month and never pay a cent of interest.

    The interest rate only applies if you have money thats unpaid… im sure fellow ozbarginers know about that one!?

      There's no mention of interest free days, unlike every other AMEX card T&C.

        If it hasn't changed, it should 55 days as I have had one since March 2011. Normally statement date on the 17th and pay on the following 11th.

    For a 'Platinum' card, $50k is considered quite low. It is also likely that the card will come with a minimum credit limit of around $5k - $7k, so unless you have excellent financial dicipline, I'd steer clear away from a Platinum card and get a basic card instead :)

      MrLeE on 11/07/2011 - 10:50

      Can someone confirm if this has a 5k credit minimum? I'm looking to get a spare CC just in case

  Note they haven't aligned with Qantas on this card which means you can't transfer your points to their frequent flyer program if thats your prefered choice. Still a good deal for the flight and tickets though.

  The previous offer was 20,000 bonus points. Now it is 6 gold class movie tickets. This is a better deal if you like going to gold class coz for Amex $100 = 13,500 points. Gold class ticket is $38 each x 6 = $228.

  By the way, I used $500 in the first month, but they still haven't given me the bonus 20,000 points… Very naughty!
