    At what point is the credit check? I entered my details on the first page, clicked 'save and continue' and then it said that it was performing a credit check. That seems premature considering that I hadn't clicked 'submit' on the final page.

  • alim on 31/01/2024 - 09:26

    First time I've been rejected for a card despite good income/credit history and only 1 other card open.

    Similar experience to others that have been rejected - applied, didn't hear anything for over a week and then received a rejection letter in the mail.

    • ozbargainerlife1 on 03/02/2024 - 22:19

      do you have home loan? and how often do you churn

      • alim on 05/02/2024 - 12:39

        I do. But from reading other people's comments, seems like Amex don't like card churners. I usually go through 3-4 a year.

  • ModiSulak on 31/01/2024 - 19:59

    How long does the points usually take to add onto the card? I've just front-loaded the card with 3K spend when I got it yesterday. I'm planning to book flights using the points next month will this be possible?

  • nnaa8287 on 31/01/2024 - 20:39

    Whats the minimum salary requirement to be eligible for this card?

    • Ghost47 on 01/02/2024 - 05:14

      That's weird, I thought the AMEX website stated the required income but I can't seem to find it.

      Google says $65,000 p.a.

  • Choogz on 31/01/2024 - 22:56

    Silly question but hypothetically couldn’t you just book a hotel on booking.com upfront that hits the minimum spend ?

    Get the points and then cancel before the statement billing date rinse/repeat

    • gembel on 01/02/2024 - 15:02

      shhh

    • Ozymandias on 07/02/2024 - 12:29

      Pretty sure if you dip under the threshold (even after the 3 months has passed) Amex will notice and retrieve the points. However, if you book it far enough in advance, you can meet the $3k requirement in your own time and cancel the booking later - keep in mind that you'll be charged interest in the meantime, so this may not be the best strategy.

  • kyba274 on 01/02/2024 - 15:29

    So I just got this card. Want to send the offer to a friend, can I refer them this card and they still get a 100k bonus, and I get a referral bonus too?

    • Azro on 06/02/2024 - 19:10

      Pretty sure it’s one or another.

  • sschen on 01/02/2024 - 15:34

    Anyone knows if buying Woolworths/Wish GCs through the Woolworths website qualifies as part of the required $3k spend??

      Pretty sure they are

  • hohoisme on 03/02/2024 - 12:45

    How much are 100k Velocity points worth?

    • Ozymandias on 07/02/2024 - 12:25

      General rule is 1c per point, if you're selling them in the classifieds, but they're worth far more if you use them for premium classes on international flights.

      • hamwhisperer on 07/02/2024 - 23:38

        Difficulty is always the fear of being caught selling points.

        I was so terrified of having 160000 confiscated I ended up just giving to my wife

        • Ozymandias on 08/02/2024 - 11:09

          Oh, I personally wouldn't dare, but it's an option.

  • arctan on 06/02/2024 - 17:42

    The free virgin flight can be booked under anyone's name. Thats good flexibility.

  • fullmetal on 06/02/2024 - 21:57

    Any tips to reach 3k. Amex is not accepted in alot of places.

    • JoKing on 07/02/2024 - 12:47

      You could buy gift cards from Coles/Woolies/petrol stations. Stuff you’d have to buy eventually.

    Direct offer from Google has now 120,000 points, show how much commission/sign-ups these single owner websites are raking in. Free flights and now hundreds of thousands of dollars in sign-ups

    • crackman on 15/02/2024 - 08:27

      Link shows 100k for me. Phone and desktop , also tried incognito

  • crackman on 14/02/2024 - 14:57

    So lounge passes:

    Never had one before. Partner and 2 kids (3 yo and a 4month old). Can I bring them with me? Would I need to pay extra?

  • HitlersDad on 15/02/2024 - 07:06

    Can this be signed up with my wife but links to my points account?

  • citybargainhunter on 19/02/2024 - 08:11

    Applied, thanks OP

  • Xizor on 06/03/2024 - 18:22

    Applied on saturday, got rejected letter in the mail today Wednesday. Says i failed "wholly or partly" based on credit information… according to Equifax who they use my credit rating is "Excellent"! As i expected.

    Cutting through the bull*(&%!, the only thing in my credit report that could be considered negative is the number of credit checks and credit cards from churning. I haven't had an Amex for 3 years either.

    Amex…. you turds.

    • offthetap on 13/03/2024 - 09:59

      same for me

  • rekke on 13/03/2024 - 09:56

    Does anyone know if the '2x Centurion lounge passes' translates to 1 visit for 2x people, or does 1 pass count for 2 people? Never been to an airport lounge before.

      looking at their website for Sydney International airport, it says: Access & Guests:
      Amex Card, boarding pass showing a confirmed reservation for same-day travel, and a government issued I.D.
      Two guests OR immediate family (spouse & children under 17) have complimentary access.

  • freedomofspeech on 28/03/2024 - 18:02

    Is anyone able to book their complimentary flight at compflight.virginaustralia.com ??
    The website keeps crashing as soon as I put 'From' airport in

    • AV1 on 29/03/2024 - 00:00

      Seems to be an issue with the website, I called them up on 1300 153 006 and booked it through there. The agent just read out available flight timeslots for the day I chose and I picked the one that was best for me. Tried to book for 3 days online and managed to do so in about 10 minutes with the call agent
