    How long for?

    • C0mbat on 27/08/2021 - 09:01

      I think it's a permanent offer as long as you have the card.

        Ah right! Not to all Amex looks like. Good deal though

  • Qmar on 27/08/2021 - 09:02

    Didnt get it on my platinum edge card

  • contrafibularities on 27/08/2021 - 09:04

    So only available for cash back card? Would have been useful to know that in the title.

    • C0mbat on 27/08/2021 - 09:08

      No, as I stated I have the Travellers card so it must be for others but just not advertised on their website.

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 27/08/2021 - 09:07

    Only for cashback card.

    • C0mbat on 27/08/2021 - 09:08

      No, see above comment.

    Nothing on my Elevate standard (annual fee), DJs Amex (annual fee but mine is waived), or Velocity Escape Amex (annual fee-free) so far.

    Do you pay for your Amex OP?

      how does David jones Amex annual fee waived？

      • squarepants on 27/08/2021 - 09:54

        +1 to this question. lol. didn't realise Amex waived AF's, ever.

      • kerfuffle on 27/08/2021 - 09:59

        Targeted offer by upgrading my Storecard six years ago.

        The only other way is to work for DJs and their related companies

    Binge Basic Plan for Free (Worth $10 Per Month)

    It's not free, you have to pay $10 Per Month for the card…

    • bozbargain on 27/08/2021 - 09:48

      Are you saying the same thing about any AmEx cashback deal where an annual card fee is paid for?

      • JTTheMan on 27/08/2021 - 10:10

        No because it is not available on any other Amex card, therefore it is reasonable to say it is not free if it is only available after you pay the $10/mth fee

        • bozbargain on 27/08/2021 - 10:18

          It's available for AmEx cashback card holders. That card costs $10/month. It's 100% free for those who have that card.
          So if there's ever a targeted AmEx cashback promo for Explorer card holders, we need to point out that it's only after you pay the $395 annual fee?

          • JTTheMan on 27/08/2021 - 11:04

            @bozbargain: Fair enough, it's fair to say it's targeted but to say it's free seems a bit disingenuous when the free amount equals exactly the card's fee?
            Maybe if the card fee didn't exactly equal the deal amount it wouldn't seem that way?

            • bozbargain on 27/08/2021 - 11:34

              @JTTheMan: Why? People who get this card are happy to pay the $10/month as it gives you a fair bit of cashback. This is an awesome freebie in my view.

      • asa79 on 27/08/2021 - 11:21

        I don't pay an annual fee for my amex and got calm and centr free so far

      Interested to know this as well

    • Benjkmv on 27/08/2021 - 10:40

      yes, the t&C's states that you get a $10 credit, you can choose whatever subscription you want. Only things is you have to subscribe directly with Binge and not through itunes/google play

      • my2cnts on 27/08/2021 - 11:16

        cool, otherwise SD is not much useful

  • C0mbat on 27/08/2021 - 09:42

    I clearly state in the OP that I'm a Travellers Card owner and not a Cashback card owner. I still got the email.

    • Sterio on 27/08/2021 - 12:10

      I have a platinum reserve and got the offer. Was going to ring Amex to clarify for how long the $10 credit will keep coming through as I can't find anything in the T&C's.

    What on earth is an Amex Travellers card?

    • [Deactivated] on 27/08/2021 - 09:45

      I think they must mean Explorer?

      • squarepants on 27/08/2021 - 09:47

        I've no clue, but I've personally never heard of that card lol.

        Surely if it's the Explorer, they'd just call it that. That's what everyone calls it lol, so it must be some other card maybe?

    • C0mbat on 27/08/2021 - 09:56

      Yeah, sorry, I mean Explorer. Plus someone below got the email on the Gold Card.

      • squarepants on 27/08/2021 - 10:19

        Oh now that's interesting. Thanks for the data point. Hopefully this shows up sometime for the rest of us.

  • Tiklpikl on 27/08/2021 - 09:45

    No on Amex dj platinum and supplementary cards

  • eek on 27/08/2021 - 09:52

    Yeah, got nothing on platinum charge, edge or explorer cards.

  • Xc01567 on 27/08/2021 - 09:54

    got the email on an amex gold card will see if the cashback comes through….

    • postman on 27/08/2021 - 10:16

      I got the email too, but the email mentions "Cashback Card" all over the place, so maybe we're only eligible if we use the cashback card?

  • Nohtyp on 27/08/2021 - 09:59

    maybe I used too many of Amex offers, no email :(

  • darthsparrow on 27/08/2021 - 10:01

    I have the Qantas Discovery card and got the same email as well.

    • Elijon on 31/08/2021 - 12:11

      @darthsparrow likewise, I got the same card too and they sent me email. When I gave them a call to double-check, they said it's a mistake and since you haven't subscribed it yet you shouldn't do it. Tip: Most of my friends who had done it without confirming, are getting one-off credit ;)

  • acersaurus on 27/08/2021 - 10:03

    Great, I've got an Amex Essential card (no annual fee) and I got the deal. I was already a binge basic member so it saves me $10/month.

    It's DVD quality, it's fine for the shows I watch like Curb Your Enthusiasm.

    • Benjkmv on 27/08/2021 - 10:43

      Did you receive an email about this offer?

    • my2cnts on 27/08/2021 - 11:12

      Essential here as well but no mails after 20th, hopefully it's on way

    • asa79 on 27/08/2021 - 11:25

      No email either but I did sign up for that centr so maybe not eligible now

        :D

  • triple a on 27/08/2021 - 10:15

    I can't find it in the cashback section for both Explorer and Edge cards.

  • Ruckmauler on 27/08/2021 - 10:59

    Are we sure that Amex hasn't just accidently spammed some people with an offer they can't get. I haven’t read anything above that categorically states that they have got the offer with a non-cashback card.

  • JF1 on 27/08/2021 - 11:16
    +2

    I got the email as well - I have an Elevate card. The email says that it is for the Cashback card. I had assumed it was a mix up in Amex’s comms.

  • 1994tvmoviez on 27/08/2021 - 11:32

    No email for my explorer card but they confirmed the offer is active for $10 cash back per month.

    Higher tier means you have to pay the difference.

    I've got Explorer and another one and no emails yet - sometimes emails to large groups can take a day or two to run through though.

  • CapRogers on 27/08/2021 - 11:54

    I have an Explorer card and didn't get it either… @OP - Do you have a screenshot of the email you got from Amex?

  • Lou Sarsol on 27/08/2021 - 11:59

    Just received an email from Amex for free monthly Binge on the Basic package worth $10.

    Does anyone pay for binge? It might cost $10 but it’s certainly not worth $10

    • acersaurus on 27/08/2021 - 12:06
      +1

      I think it depends what your into. The main draw card is probably the HBO shows like Game of Thrones, Sopranos, Rome, Westworld.

      They also provide access to some Foxtel channels within the app like the History Channel, BBC earth and others.

  • Sterio on 27/08/2021 - 12:30

    I just off the the phone with them (I received the offer and have a Platinum Reserve).

    They advised that the offer is only for those with a cashback card. They have reported the matter to their marketing team (don't know whether that means and whether we all get an apology email).

    I also asked what about those cardholders who acted on the offer. I was told that the system would identify at the payment stage that the card is not a cashback card and prevent the transaction from proceeding.

    Has anybody who received the offer with a non cashback card acted on it and signed up?

    • Ruckmauler on 27/08/2021 - 12:35

      Thanks for going the extra mile and getting the correct information. As expected this is just a cock-up.

    • Elijon on 31/08/2021 - 12:13

    Binge is so bad they have to give it away free haha

    • mirovich on 27/08/2021 - 13:08

      I quite disagree with this statement. Most popular HBO shows are on Binge.

      • fLaMePrO on 27/08/2021 - 14:30

        So they scored a deal with a network that produces high quality TV. Does that make it a better service? No, it just means they have exclusivity. Similar to how Epic store paid off a bunch of devs for exclusivity on their games. Didn't make their service any better.

        Binge is bad. They didn't even have subtitles when I last tried it, for crying out loud. Not sure if that's been added yet.

        Then you remember it's Foxtel and you stay as far away as you possibly can.

        Even if I could get this deal I'm not convinced I'd want it.

        • mirovich on 27/08/2021 - 16:42

          So what makes a streaming service good? Subtitles?
          The whole point of a good streaming service is having high quality shows and movies.

          • fLaMePrO on 27/08/2021 - 17:20

            @mirovich: Not just signing one network and calling it a day. See Prime & Stan, funding new shows that are actually decent and contributing to the local industry as well.

            Does Binge even have anything original?

            • mirovich on 27/08/2021 - 18:20

              @fLaMePrO: Doesn’t have anything original. I have Prime, Netflix and Binge. Netflix and Prime pump out shit load of shows and most are almost unwatchable. Binge on the other hand took a shortcut and made deals with HBO and several other networks, so their shows are always very popular and high quality.

              Binge is my go to now for decent shows and movies. Netflix and Prime are going downhill with their their very average contents. They are casting Youtubers for their shows, this is how bad it’s getting.

              I watch TV to entertain myself and not create a stand on who’s contributing more to the industry.

      Apologies,

      We sent you an email on 27 August which referenced a BINGE Basic subscription on us. This benefit is only available on the American Express CashbackTM Credit Card, unfortunately you were incorrectly targeted.

      No further action from you is required. We apologise for any confusion this may have caused.

      Thank you for your understanding.
