    Targeted.My wife got this offer almost 2 months ago, and I got it today.
    Looks like you can only save this offer via the link in the email.

  • tenoclockfindu on 04/12/2019 - 11:20

    Got this message "Oops, our records show that you have already enrolled in this offer. We limit the number of times that a Card Member can enrol in each offer."

    • TwentyTwoCarats on 04/12/2019 - 11:38

      well is it true or not? haha

    • scar4ace on 04/12/2019 - 11:48

      Sorry the first link was from when I had clicked on my offer link recvd via email. Have updated try again but it is targeted.

    • Peck on 04/12/2019 - 18:18

      Ten o'clock, that means that u have activated the offer.

    I think it's targeted, I received an email for my essentials card but don't see the offer on my other cards. Looking at my offers page after saving the offer from the email, it comes up as recently expired on 28/11/2019.

    • niniksa on 04/12/2019 - 11:23

      Same.

    • Kelvin163 on 04/12/2019 - 11:29

      Similar, but on david Jones Amex

    • Just Invest on 04/12/2019 - 11:59

      Exactly the same for me.
      Saved - checked AMEX app - expired on 28.11.2019

    • rilebags on 04/12/2019 - 12:34

      same

    • t25 on 04/12/2019 - 12:38

      Definitely targeted! Nothing in my essentials card either.

      • t25 on 05/12/2019 - 11:30

        Wasn't targeted yesterday, was targeted for the offer today.

    • nightfever on 04/12/2019 - 13:31

      same - got email clicked on it and saw it comes up as recently expired on 28/11/2019. weird stuff!

    • SilverRanger on 04/12/2019 - 14:22

      Same here, but I called their customer support who said that the offer is indeed saved to my account, and will be valid.

      I encourage others to do the same and confirm

  • povertytrap on 04/12/2019 - 11:21

    • maccam01 on 05/12/2019 - 10:00

      I also got it the previous time (had to spend before 28/11/2019). But in my saved offers says I have the new one expiring in 31/12/2019, very strange.

  • reacher on 04/12/2019 - 11:22

    when i click saved, it took me to a page and says my offer is registered, but under my account-saved offer, i can't see it, strange

    • niniksa on 04/12/2019 - 11:26

      It’s under expired offer.

      • reacher on 04/12/2019 - 11:32

        you are right, very strange…

        • jhaley3180 on 04/12/2019 - 12:37

          Yes mine is listed expired too

  • jackx on 04/12/2019 - 11:24

        • Xishnik on 05/12/2019 - 18:34

          How do you do the PayPal payment? I have always doing BPay for my bills.

          Also, if I have no upcoming bills, can I just overpay any of my existing accounts. There won't be any issue doing that?

          Thanks.

    Received on 1 of my cards, which wasn't already linked to Paypal.

    Assume that you can buy a gift card with this and get the credit?

    showing under expired offer. but other paypal offer ( $5 cashback on spending $20 or above) is showing on active.
    also, 20% cashback offer, how many times can we use it?

    • reacher on 04/12/2019 - 11:58

      As many times as you want, but only max $40 credit

      • Tamtim on 04/12/2019 - 12:02

        Max $40 credit in total over the month or each time?

        • Scope on 04/12/2019 - 12:14

      • fan8956 on 04/12/2019 - 18:01

        I feel like I can get better deals from like ebay/amazon/bing lee/HN etc if I am getting anything from JB Hifi. Plus their gift card expires while woolies ones dont. So always safer bet for me to go for woolies group GC for grocery in supermarket and fuel in gas station

    Just purchased 2x$100 wish GC from eBay using a registered Amex for both deals 'spend $20 get back $5' and 'get back 20% max of $40' via PayPal. Interestingly it generated 2 confirmation emails from Amex simultaneously. I wonder if this means $45 will be rebated, or $5 or $40? Time will tell. Has any OP encountered the same and would know the answer?

    • scar4ace on 05/12/2019 - 23:22

      Usually from past experience the offers stack i.e you’ll get back $45

    • uniboi on 11/12/2019 - 14:46

      Hi, Just wondering whether you've got the $45 back onto your amex card? also is there a specific merchant you use on ebay to get wish GC or just one which seems to have enough positive feedback/reviews?

      • min2 on 12/12/2019 - 09:08
        +1

        Yes it stacked as $40+$5, although it took a few days for the credits to appear. Just search Wish GC on eBay if you want Woolworths egift cards. 2x$100 I bought to maximize the credits. Cheers.

    I did not receive offer via email neither did I save the offer from avaialble offer, but this offer appears under saved offer for 2 of my cards.
    Both cards had the same offer back in Oct, amex has been generous recently.

    • candoaus on 05/12/2019 - 12:26

      Still error with amex website, this paypal offer is under saved offer section. However, when you click on it, it shows "DETAILS
      Save the offer to your eligible Card and spend online or in-app with PayPal by 28/11/2019 to receive 20% credit each time, up to $40 back. Limited to the first 20,000 Cards to save the offer. Exclusions apply.".

    Just curious, is there a way to use PayPal to buy discounted WISH eGift cards?

    I tried buying them via CashRewards, ShopBack, Suncorp Rewards or EntertainmentBook, but none of them allow using PayPal.

    • SBOB on 05/12/2019 - 20:34

      any sellers on ebay?
      pretty sure there is

    • t25 on 12/12/2019 - 14:18

      Not the best option, but I think buying WISH eGift cards directly Paypal means you can at least get something.

  • 2keane on 05/12/2019 - 16:50

    Cheers. Grabbed a pair of airpods 2 from Wireless1 ebay for $203. $160 is not bad I guess as I wanted a pair anyway.
