      No this isn't targeted. I used this link that user "littlesoldier" provided below, applied for the additional card and got my 15,000 points in less than 5 minutes lol (my QFF points balance updated to show an additional 15,000 points):

        did you already have an existing additional card on the account?

  • glyptothek on 15/03/2024 - 11:46

    Just got 2 offers 15K MR Points one for Plat Reserve, one for Plat Charge Applied for a Plat Charge for Mum as Ive already got a Plat Reserve for her

  • Freak00718 on 15/03/2024 - 11:55

    Got the offer too but can someone clarify whether this offer still works if you already have one additional cars golder on the account? I.e. would be eligible for the second additional card holder?

    • CrazyBargainer on 15/03/2024 - 11:56

      I have 1 x additional card too in my account and still received this offer. So, I guess it should work for us.

      • krushr on 15/03/2024 - 13:01
        +2

        YMMV - I saw a similar comment in a past campaign and applied for an additional card. Points never came through and amex support said I wasn’t eligible because I already have an additional card.

        • CrazyBargainer on 15/03/2024 - 13:09

          But did you get the similar offer email at that time?

          • krushr on 15/03/2024 - 13:19

            @CrazyBargainer: Yes

            • deanl on 15/03/2024 - 14:27
              +4

              @krushr: I can also confirm that it works even if you already have one additional cardholder. However, I had to call them to finalize the application as they needed some additional information, and they instantly approved the card. I then received the bonus points, which equal $150 with my The American Express® Cashback™ Credit Card.

              • Ferazzo on 15/03/2024 - 15:35

                @deanl: Happy days, thank you for sharing the info

              • leonardoryan on 16/03/2024 - 13:46

                @deanl: Did you have two additional card holders in the end? Or did you cancel first and re-apply?

                • deanl on 18/03/2024 - 09:37

                  @leonardoryan: Yes, I now have two additional card holders. Didn't need to cancel first and re-apply.

    Its not targeted, you can get the additional card bonus offer from here: https://www.americanexpress.com/en-au/credit-cards/manage-yo…

        what do you mean? the website stated the 15000 bonus points…
        that link is generic

        • CrazyBargainer on 15/03/2024 - 11:59

          but you don't get bonus points. scratch that. didn't see the second tab there.

    • James-A on 15/03/2024 - 12:41

      Thank you, this worked for me

    • FatTofu on 22/03/2024 - 19:33

  • tommynolips on 15/03/2024 - 12:08

    i have never added an additional card to any CC before. what's the process? if i add for my fiance, are there credit checks carried out against her name?

    • rekke on 15/03/2024 - 12:15

      Wondering about this too.

    • FurioG on 15/03/2024 - 12:15
      +6

      Used to be you literaily put down the name and relation to you, now they check if it's a real person via Australian ID verficiation like DL, medicare, passport, etc. No credit checks as the main card holder is responsbile for their debt (at least last time I did it with amex a few months ago that was the process).

      • Larsson on 15/03/2024 - 13:58

        Can I just get it for myself again? 😅

      • Mr RS on 15/03/2024 - 19:00

        Yeah miss being able to add my dog

    • iitakeiteasy on 15/03/2024 - 12:19
      +3

      Short answer in my experience was No. They checked the legal IDs (DL/Passport) but no questions related to credit check were asked.
      IMO this is because primary card holder is sole responsible for all card related debts. Secondary card holder will have separate logins created at the time of their new card activation.
      Secondary person can take advantage of some Amex offers as well same as primary depending t&c of individual offer.

  • mouseman99 on 15/03/2024 - 12:15
    +1

    if you add an additional holder, will this affect them getting a card themselves in the next cpl of months?

    • littlesoldier on 15/03/2024 - 12:18
      +3

      no, additional card holder will not record towards their own credit report
      so they are eligible to get their own card (and get the welcome bonus if they are eligible)

  • dwhes on 15/03/2024 - 12:16

    My wife and I both signed up to the qantas ultimate amex recently, is it possible for us both to add each other as an additional card holder to our respective cards and get an additional 15k points each? Or because we are both amex members its not possible?

    • littlesoldier on 15/03/2024 - 12:18
      +2

      yes, it doesnt matter
      both can hold each other's additional card too

      • mouseman99 on 15/03/2024 - 12:19

        cheers

      • dwhes on 15/03/2024 - 12:21
        +2

        Cheers. That's a nice win then. Extra 30k points between us on top of the 100k we each got and 40k I got for referring her.

    Doesn’t work for business cards.

    • rensman on 19/03/2024 - 12:44

      i wonder if business cards have the same promo on a different link?

  • derpderpderp on 15/03/2024 - 12:22

    Can we not just apply via the link or do we need to actually receive the offer via email?

  • itslittfam on 15/03/2024 - 12:25

    Terms and conditions state:

    This offer is only available to eligible Card Members who have received a direct invitation from American Express.

    So if you didn't get an email, I don’t think you are eligible for the bonus points. Happy to be corrected however

    • CrazyBargainer on 15/03/2024 - 12:30
      +1

      The very first line on the deal's generic linked page:

      The Primary Card Member named above will receive 15,000 Bonus Points when they apply for an Additional Card by clicking on the link on this webpage by 11 April 2024.

      • itslittfam on 15/03/2024 - 12:31

        But is that a direct invitation?

        • CrazyBargainer on 15/03/2024 - 12:34

          I received a direct invitation, so shared the deal.
          However this page is publicly available. read the first line of Terms & Conditions there.

          Just applied via the link above, approved, QF points in my Amex Account (ready to transfer to QF)

          • dwhes on 15/03/2024 - 13:01

            @wzk: Yep same. 15k qantas points have appeared on both mine and my wife's account. Added each other.

  • JoKing on 15/03/2024 - 12:34

    I just got my partner a card for my Qantas Amex like 2 weeks ago, does that mean I’m unable to get this offer? Anyone had any luck getting bonus points when you just miss out on the offer period?

    • killabob on 15/03/2024 - 14:15

      I'd like to know this too! Got the card a few days ago.

    • Voele on 15/03/2024 - 14:24

      Same here, would like to know. Got card for +1 a few days ago.

    • afayd on 15/03/2024 - 14:32

      Same thing. Can we just not cancel the partner card and apply again?

    • keejoonc on 15/03/2024 - 14:58
      +2

      Same here. Might need a second wife to get this deal.

      • illusion99 on 15/03/2024 - 16:58

        Or a husband to go with the existing wife. Also the husband can keep your wife entertained when you’re too tired

    • Ashchaos on 15/03/2024 - 22:31
      +1

      Can confirm if you add the same partner again with the same details, it will be approved and 15k points received instantly.

      We were the same situation and had already applied for an additional cardholder on both immediately on application a couple of weeks ago.

      • killabob on 16/03/2024 - 10:13

        So do i need to cancel the original card first?

      • Silmo on 16/03/2024 - 10:35

        Tried this, I added my wife again and was approved :)

        • killabob on 16/03/2024 - 19:09

          Did you need to cancel?

            +1

            @killabob: No, just straight add another card

      • JoKing on 19/03/2024 - 13:25

        Doesn’t that mean they will have 2 cards for this account in their name? Amex don’t care about that?

    Nice. Have 4 cards so thats 60000 points

    • seraphim64 on 15/03/2024 - 14:14

          Separate accounts as in separate logins?

  • 1morphine1 on 15/03/2024 - 12:39

    15000 MR = 7500 QFF
    not equal value

    • dwhes on 15/03/2024 - 12:43

      If you are adding someone to a Qantas card or Virgin card, then it's 15,000 points of that respective card. So in the case of the Qantas ultimate amex, it's 15,000 qantas points you get.

  • spacebanana on 15/03/2024 - 12:44

    Edit: it was in the T&Cs, first card added only.

  • pongie on 15/03/2024 - 12:51

    Stupid form limits the first name field to 10 characters (probably due to the space on the card).

  • Cheryhello on 15/03/2024 - 12:58

  • Jstrrrr on 15/03/2024 - 15:04

    I have multiple Amex primary cards.

    I have only received the offer on two of them.

    But each says the 15000 is only given to the FIRST card added.

    It's not certain to me if the FIRST refers to first additional card under each primary card, or the first additional to all my primaries combined. i.e if I added an additional card to each of the two cards I received the offer on, will I get two lots of 15k points to each respective account?

    Can someone who knows please clarify.

    • xers on 15/03/2024 - 15:11
      +2

      From the T&Cs

      The Primary Card Member may apply for several Additional Cards across different products, but will only receive the 15,000 Bonus Points for the first approved Card.

      If I understand that correctly, even if you hold multiple cards, you can get the points on 1 additional card only.

      • Jstrrrr on 15/03/2024 - 15:54

        Very clear. Thank you.

  • nomadspartan on 15/03/2024 - 15:18

    Would this impact your credit rating and would it impact borrowing capacity when applying for a home loan?

    • bobokingdom on 15/03/2024 - 16:57

      I don't think so as you are just sharing the Credit Limit between the Primary and Secondary cards?
