    best way to top up myki and maximise this offer?

      top up exactly $20 and not 1c more.

    The AMEX map shows the address for THE LUCKY CHARM GALERIES as 201 ELIZABETH STREET, SYDNEY NSW. Yet on Google Maps the address is 500 George St, Sydney NSW 2000, which is 300m away from Elizabeth Street address. Are these 2 completely different stores, or did AMEX get the address for Lucky Charms Galeries totally wrong? Thanks

        I have been to 3 of the 4 Lucky Charms. I think all 4 do exist.

        1. QVB - as you exit Town Hall station barrier into QVB, it's on your right.
        2. Galeries - as you walk towards JB Hi-Fi, it's on your left. It's one level before street level.
        3. Within Westfield, enter via the entrance closest to St James station.

  • inherentchoice on 04/11/2019 - 04:10

    Am I too late? I can't find it in my account.

    Does "registrations capped" mean there's a quota that has now been exhausted?

    • Yola on 04/11/2019 - 07:19

      Yes. It's all over except for the shopping.

      • inherentchoice on 04/11/2019 - 08:49

        The phase "registrations capped" indicates there's a cap but it doesn't indicate that it's been exhausted. They should use different wording.

    Today's Opal run - as usual, did one card to see if I get the Amex email, and then asked politely if I could do more.

    The Lucky Charm Galeries (201 Elizabeth Street, Shop 22, Sydney; near JB Hifi) - Friendly shop assistant. 40c surcharge for $20 top up. Couldn't see any sign as to surcharge. EFTPOS machine only accepts chip or swipe (no tap and go), so you have to pin or sign. Yes to multiple cards if they are quiet - please also let other customers go first if they are not doing Opal top ups.

    The Lucky Charm Pavilion (580 George Street, HSBC Centre, Shop LG15; near Chatime) - Friendly shop assistant. 2% surcharge for Amex (so 40c surcharge for $20 top up). Clear sign saying one Amex card per person. The shop assistant also repeated that firmly and asked if the card is in my name. EFTPOS machine only accepts chip or swipe (no tap and go), so you have to pin or sign.

    Separate Amex emails received for each one, ie, they are different merchants on Amex.

            Confirmed - St Martin's News Agency (31 Market St) - $0.80 surcharge, no card limit, physical cards only.
            Their EFTPOS machine appears to be a suncorp terminal, Amex contactless via Google Pay keeps declining with "PIN not entered"), physical cards contactless are fine
