      Hi Odysseus, I'm using https://linksplit.io/ which is a tool to manage affiliate tracking links (shortens them etc) a bit like https://bitly.com/. It's safe and simply redirects you to the correct landing page. I will contact their support and tell them their tools are promoting security alerts from Microsoft.

      Ps. removed the tool from our page as it doesn't look good if it sets off alarm bells at Microsoft HQ. Thanks for the heads up.

    So 80,000 Qantas points for $50?

    Also: is there not many places that take Amex , so this might be hard to achieve the minimum spend?

    • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 05/01/2021 - 17:01
      +2

      $49 if you want to be precise :D

      I have 4 Amex cards and use them for 90% of my spend (the rest I put through Zip and pay it off with a Visa for the points). Sure I may be biased but it's not hard to reach the minimum spend. Of course, this will depend on your personal spending habits but $1,000 a month isn't that hard: groceries, petrol, a bit of shopping, bills etc.

      • bruceclipse on 05/01/2021 - 17:04

        The easier way to meet min. spend is to buy some discounted gift cards for your big ticket items. Coles has a sale for ultimate GCs starting tomorrow.

        • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 05/01/2021 - 17:15

          That too! Gift cards on sale are the way to go :)

      • adrianhughes1998 on 05/01/2021 - 19:23

        Thanks for the explanation.

        Yeah was just concerned because hearing that say 70% of places take Amex as opposed to Visa/MasterCard. When I churn credit cards, I usually make big purchases on them to meet the min spend.

        If I can buy a mattress ensemble with amex, then we're cooking.

        • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 06/01/2021 - 00:36
          +1

          Most big retailers take Amex so you should be able to find a good deal for mattress ensemble and put it on Amex.

      • jkb on 05/01/2021 - 22:26

        Why 4 if I may ask? I got one which I probably cancel after reaching minimum spent (so I'm eligible for a sign up bonus for a new one asap in about a years time) and keep a 0.75 qantas point one with no yearly fees.

        • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 06/01/2021 - 00:35

          I used to have more lol

          Currently I have Amex Platinum, Amex Business Platinum, Explorer and Platinum Reserve. The first 2 I have under a package deal, Explorer I kept because I got an offer I couldn't refuse and Plat Reserve is a free card which gives me $400 free travel credit each year as part of Platinum charge. I also used to have Edge for supermarket spending. Generally, the benefits I get from the cards outweigh the annual fees which also means I never really close my account because waiting 18 months isn't effective for me. For Visa, I currently use ANZ QF Black and Macquarie Platinum (got this one free for life under a grandfathered deal).

          • brongz on 06/01/2021 - 00:52

            @points4life: Any info about free Plat Reserve that give you free $400 travel credit every year? No annual fee, right?

            • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 06/01/2021 - 14:43

              @brongz: It's now a grandfathered product so if you had it before (I think It was July 2020) you will keep getting the credit each year. If you got it after the cut off date, you can get the card but it won't be much use. It's fee-free for as long as you hold Platinum.

      I actually thought about this when they released it a couple of months ago. Turns out maybe 85% of places accept it, higher than i expected so it wasn't that hard.

      • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 06/01/2021 - 00:26
        +2

        Yes, it's much better these days. Melbourne and Sydney you can use it pretty much everywhere. Here in WA we lag a little behind. With a lot of small businesses taking up Square and Paypal card readers, acceptance is pretty good around Aus. The "you can't use Amex anywhere" thing is an old wives tale IMO.

        • Ghost47 on 06/01/2021 - 13:08
          +2

          I had an Amex 5-6 years ago and back then I could only use it at about 50% of places, it's definitely a lot better these days. I don't think it's an old wives tale, just people who haven't actually used it perpetuating information that isn't valid anymore.

        Yes, they're fast. I never had any issue with Citi cards…. Always depends… :)

        Right timing for Business upgrade using points. Cheers mate!

      • Drakesy on 06/01/2021 - 00:53

        Yeah citi is notorious for delays. Have had coles and other citibank run cards take 3+ weeks only for them to reject me with no reason. Yet every other provider is perfectly happy to give me cards

        • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 06/01/2021 - 14:41

          I've never been approved for a Citi issued card. They just don't seem to like me :|

            @points4life: Dealing with Citi is often painful, but a Coles card was the easiest application I've had recently. Only needed a single payslip and didn't involve any phone calls or requests for additional documents.

  • Deal finder on 05/01/2021 - 19:43

    Am I eligible if I already have the David Jones Amex card?

    • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 06/01/2021 - 00:11

      Yes, you are. If you hold a DJ cobrand card you can get a bonus under another Amex product and vice versa.

  • justwii on 05/01/2021 - 19:46

    How good is the AE deal compare to this https://www.qantasmoney.com/credit-cards/premier-platinum ?
    * Mastercard vs AE
    * 100k pt vs 80k pt
    * $199 vs $249
    * $4000 spend vs $3000 spend in first 3 months
    * 75 status credit vs $200 back

    • squarepants on 05/01/2021 - 19:58
      +3

      Main difference i suppose is that you'd be paying $150 more (after taking into account the $200 cashback on the AMEX) for an additional 20,000 points on the Mastercard.

      Depends how you value the points and if you think paying $150 is justified for the 20,000 points. Also if you need the status credits to hit the next tier, then it'll probably make sense, else the 75 status credits are useless.

      $1,000 higher spend on the Mastercard as opposed to the AMEX.

      Mastercard more widely accepted as compared to AMEX(?), although i think AMEX is fairly widely accepted these days.

        • dogzilla on 05/01/2021 - 23:49

          its bizarre isnt it…great card but for some its a deal breaker (you dont have to get an additional card, just set up apple pay on significant others phone and away you go

          • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 06/01/2021 - 00:18

            @dogzilla: cut out the chip and stick it under your phone case. DIY Apple/Google/whatever pay :)

    • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 06/01/2021 - 00:17

      A few extra things:

      • No points cap on Amex (but most likely irrelevant considering people who spend 10k+ a month would probably go for Amex Ultimate)
      • Easier and faster approval process with Amex. QF Money is managed by Citi Bank…
      • Amex offers, easily a few hundred $ each year in account credit

      Ideally, if you're serious about maximising points you hold a Visa/MC and an Amex.

      That said, at Flight Hacks we work with both partners so consider me biased :D

  • abhiz on 05/01/2021 - 21:00

    Am I eligible if I had Amex Express Velocity Platinum card and closed in the last 12 months?

      Nowp, you will need an extra 6 months to get the sign up bonus again. Amex has a 18 month period inbetween bonuses.

  • poormansfriedchicken on 06/01/2021 - 00:04

    Do I have to wait for my card to come in before I can use it? Have rego to pay in 10 days will I receive my card by then if I get approved tonight?

    • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 06/01/2021 - 00:09
      +1

      Yep, you would have to wait to get the card before you can activate your account. 10 days is plenty. I'm in W.A and Amex has always gotten my cards to me in a matter of days 5-7 max I'd say. If you don't get instant approval, call them up with your ref number and proactively supply any additional details they might need (usually pay slips), that speed things up.

      • shinkenred on 06/01/2021 - 12:00

        Thanks, this worked! I got the 5-10 business days message last night so just called them up this morning to check if I’d supplied sufficient info, they had a look and five mins later I get a text saying I’m approved.

        • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 07/01/2021 - 20:19

          boom!

      • poormansfriedchicken on 06/01/2021 - 16:17

        Thanks! Before I apply, will paying off bills (at auspost) count towards the $3000 required spend?

        • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 07/01/2021 - 13:17

          Yep that's fine. As per the T&C's: eligible spend does NOT include cash advances, interest charges, fees, traveller cheques, buying foreign currency (as in paying to get a foreign currency in cash at a Travelex or something with your card).

          • poormansfriedchicken on 07/01/2021 - 19:25

            @points4life: first time applying for a credit card and have no debt to my name. meet minimum requirements but got declined :( are there any other credit card offers for low income earners?

            • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 07/01/2021 - 20:18

              @poormansfriedchicken: Yeah, it's a tricky one getting your first card. Since there's probably not much data to your name the algo the banks use just goes "no".

              If I were you, I'd call them up and ask for a reconsideration. This way, you will get in front of a human who will assess your application. If you meet the income requirements, there should be no reason to decline you. Amex are very reasonable like that.

              A few tips AKA NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE but rather from personal experience. Build up your "creditworthiness" by taking on low-risk lines of credit, things like having an overdraft account from your bank, a phone on a plan, utilities in your name etc can help to establish rapport.

  • aarick on 06/01/2021 - 02:01

    So if I have an Amex essentials I am not eligible?

    • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 06/01/2021 - 14:32

      First time I've seen it, looks like the exact same promotion but it ended a few days ago. Amex runs a variety of promotions with different partners, all I know is that the one posted here is currently the best you can get for this card. Hope that helps :)

  • Cheetos11 on 07/01/2021 - 18:24

        • Associatedpoints4life @ Flight Hacks on 14/01/2021 - 17:58

          Yeah probably, I'd try to figure out why they declined your application. Personally, I would leave at least 3-6 months between apps of the same provider just to let their algorithms calm down :D
