Hello OzBargainers,
I've recently signed up for an AMEX Platinum Edge Credit Card last week and it has arrived on Friday and I configured my account and all is well. However the $200 Travel Credit that I was told would apply instantly has not. I'm attempting to book some flights to Melbourne where I've already booked accomodation for me and my partner for Valentines Day week. I called AMEX Platinum Card Services and they advised me that it would take unto a month to appear on my account. How long has it usually taken to arrive for you all?
Thanks,
Elisa

On the day they charged your Annual Fee, it will be avaialble.
okay, it’s no annual fee for the first year so i’m hoping it shows up this week… anxious flights will increase in cost!
I see…lucky you. I think my annual fee is $1500. :(
@bobokingdom: yeah, the poor mans platinum :p hoping to get a platinum in the future though, just thought i'd start small for my first cc.
@vaporwave: I wouldn't say "poor mans platinum" Edge card is good value, $200 annual fee, you get $200 travel credit, 3 points per dollar spent @ supermarkets / gas station (1.5 miles / dollar conversion rate), and random cash back from random retailers. I only keep the Platinum Card because I got it many year ago and they still give back $850 worth of travel credit per year + Accor Plus membership + Virgin lounge access + some dining credits…and that's basically cover the annual fee. If you travel a lot, AE platinum is a pretty good card in Australia.

Usually within a week it shows up.
