      • Yeah, I’d say no impact. Only the primary card holder is liable when you have additional card holders (as opposed to joint accounts), so there should be no change what so ever compared to having just the one card holder in that respect. Same liability dollar wise and only against the account owner.

    Added myself to my wife's new ultimate card, just got 15k points. Thanks OP.

    • The points came through already? Within minutes/hours?

      • Yes. It came through within 5 mins for me

        • Where does it come through? On the main Amex landing page?

          Addit : Actually I see it now - on main landing page, near the 'points earned' section.

  • Can confirm this works.

  • +2

    Beware there will be multiple phone calls from them asking for more details. Did it with them and they kept coming back for more info. Hope it’s just me.

  • +1

    Is 15k the normal rate?

  • Applied but got a text message asking to call a support line as they require additional information to complete the additional card application. Thought I will call them after work but received a call in about 45 minutes, provided the additional the details and the application for additional card was approved. Points landed soon after the call. Thanks OP.

  • +1

    How many additional holders can I have? should I cancel them afterwards?

    • Yes would like to know if people just cancel these straight away or something? Or no harm just holding onto the secondary card?

      • There is no harm only benefits. You can set up separate online logins and some offers you will receive for the primary and subs. Eg. I always receive the Ampol and Liguarland offers for all the cards. I have 2 primaries so 10 in total and for some offers, I can do 10 times.

  • But not for "American Express® Qantas Business Rewards Card" !!!!!

  • Confirm it works. Just added

  • Worked for me too! Got approved and received the 15,000 points in my Amex account within 15 mins.

  • +1

    Just added an additional card and immediately received the 15,000 points!

    Thanks OP

  • +1

    Can you add a card, receive the points, and then cancel the extra card?

    • You most likely can but no reason too. See may comment earlier.

  • +1

    I too just applied and got the points right away. How long do I need to wait before I cancel the addtional card?

  • How long will it take to get the points?

  • those saying they received points immediately, assume they're AMEX MR not Qantas/Velocity points? I've received 4 emails saying approved, all good, on its way, in the mail, no worries but no points

    • I received the Qantas points immediately.

    • Received 15k velocity points within 5 mins of the application.

    • +4

      Qantas points and received within 10min. Remember that’s with them appearing in your Amex account though. They won’t be in your Qantas account until Amex does the usual monthly sweep to move them over.

      • +1

        ahh, that's the missing link — thank you ! I logged into amex and absolutely it says "velocity points earned xyz" — thanks for sharing!

      • When do Amex transfer the points to qff? I just opened last month and received first statement end of Feb but still no points appear on my qff account.

    15K MR Points an hour after applying online, and accessory card holder showing in my account along with others already there

  • +1

    Used to be handy when Shop Small was a thing.

    Used to be able to add a secondary card in your own name and get the points…I don't know why… might be still a thing. Use an initial maybe.

  • Got 20k MR points last week

  • What an easy $150 Qantas points at least….

  • +1

    Nice one. Applied on all 3 cards

    • Got points all 3 cards or just one?

      • Nothing at all so far :(

        • Any updates?

  • Nice, applied and approved in less than a min. Received confirmation of 15k bonus QFF points added to AMEX account instantly.

    • How to check the QF points on our amex account?

      • +1

        On the homepage, there should be a widget at the right that shows the number of QFF points accumulated in the current statement period

        • Thanks, found it. I also just realised we can see that on the app by opening the Membership tab

  • No points sadly. Did I need to apply through the link?

  • Link worked. Points posted immediately. Happy days.

  • -2

    Any idea if Amex unofficially bans someone who cancelled the Explorer credit card just before the annual fee but after using the $400 travel credit and the 120k MR points? Asking for a friend 🙂

    • Not possible right? You pay at least one annual fee, and then you get access to those benefits?

    • If they don't ban, they should. These type of dodgy people should be black listed. And to answer the question, annual fee must be charged for the travel credit.

      • The annual fee gets charged on your first bill. The scenario here is the annual fee that gets charged on membership anniversary.

    • in the old days i used to use both $400 credits within the last week then cancel card and get it reinstated within 60 days and annual fee was refunded since i canceled before statement was due, but you can't do that with personal cards any longer due to new laws, but i think its still possible for a business card as you can still reinstate them without a new credit application.

  • Added my wife. 15k Velocity points landed within 2 minutes. That was easy!

  • -4

    Dang, I feel robbed after signing up my daughter less than a week before this offer came out. Just reminds me to drop the AMEX card this year and swap to something else.

  • stupid question- if you activate and use offers on both primary and additional card, will you receive the offer benefit on both cards or just on primary card. Thanks in advance

    • +1

      You will get the benefit on both. I have done this many times and received on 5, primary and 4 subs.

    • +2

      Yes as per Yola. I have 16 cards all up so for good offers I save on as many as possible

  • +3

    Thanks got 15k point immediately. Total 145k point for amex velocity platinum + return airfare ticket for $ 375 AF is sweet deal.

    • Did you get your 30,000 points already ?

      • I applied with the link, havent got the 30k as yet ;( Would love to hear from Daniel.

  • already have additional card

  • So is there any downside to this?

  • Got the additional points instantly. Thanks.

  • Added a 5th supplementary card holder after this post. No MR points yet after a few hours. Perhaps this doesn’t work if your account has 4 existing supplemental card holders already?

  • Where do you check/see the bonus points in your account?

    • +1

      Its under transactions. Or if you have the APP, it shows it on the first page.

  • The terms and conditions of the webpage has this comment:

    “An annual Card fee of $30 p.a. may apply to Qantas Classic Cards and Qantas Premium Additional Cards. Please refer to your Financial Table.”

    Does anyone know which cards are the classic or premium cards? There’s no info on the Amex or Qantas website from what I can gather.

    Thanks!

    • +1
      • The Qantas American Express Premium Card
      • The Qantas American Express Classic Card
  • Approved instantly and got the 15,000 points

  • I'm seeing conflicting info in the comments - so I hold one Amex card through which I got the offer successfully; if I get another amex card will this work with that as well?

  • Nothing on the QBR card 😒

  • Added a family member and points applied to my AMEX account instantly.

  • +1

    anyone with 4 or more additional cards apply to add another additional one and still get the points? i think its time to cancel some additional card holders so i can take advantage of this yearly promo

    • Yes I did on the Amex essential

  • I added my additional card holder at the time of signup, but its not activated yet. Can I still talk to them before activation?

  • If I cancel my primary card now that I have the bonus points on my card will I lose them? They are not converted until the 13th of April.

    I want to churn to a new card so I don't miss the 200 status points before end of March on the other card deal and worried about having this Amex impact my ability to get the new one.

  • after u get the points can you cancel the additional holder and do it again next promo again?

  • Does anybody know if you can add the additional cardholder with the same phone number as the primary cardholder or does it have to be unique? I'm wanting to add a family member but don't want them to have to worry about receiving verification texts etc so am inclined to use my number.

    • I have 2 AMEX cards and each has 4 supplementary cards. I do not recall them ever receiving texts. Maybe others can comment.

      • Thanks Yola. Seems like it should be fine then. I'm assuming you don't have 10 different phone numbers listed for the individual cards so sounds like it should be ok.

    • Can confirm I tried to sign up my wife with my mobile and my email. Got the points no worries.

  • +3

    Cancelling and re-adding the same holder still worked 👍🏼

    • How did you achieve this? I've tried logging into my account to remove my wife's card but can't find the option available.

      • You need to contact Amex to cancel additional card.

        • Thanks mate, just went ahead and cancelled it. Did you wait for the confirmation letter or give it much time before re-adding the same card holder?

          • +1

            @zammr: Better wait for the confirmation email. My application was not approved instantly.

  • +1

    Looking at applying for the qantas ultimate card. To get these additional 15k points, would I have to apply for a single card in the initial sign up, then add a second holder later on?

    • I think that would be the best way to ensure the bonus points.

  • nice, last round 5k MR few weeks ago and this round 15k both, points arrived within 10 mins after approval.

  • Did ozbargainer + churner apply for all 3 amex when these 100k points promo running?

  • Did anyone got more than 275K Joining Bonus points for Platinum Charge Card? I heard in the past 325K. Anyone got it? And if so how?

  • Does anybody know how to book the complimentary return domestic flights? The link https://compflight.virginaustralia.com/ seem to lead to a page that just errors out when I try to put in an origin or destination airport.

    • Got same problem. Might have to call up amex

      • Tell me how you go

  • Not sure how I missed this but just applied for one (for my Mum… who will never use it) and 15K credited basically instantly. Easy money. Thanks OP!

    I signed up as a new customer to get this offer but because I added the additional card holder during the sign up process and not through the promotion link, I'm not eligible. And because my additional card holder got approved already, I cannot re-add him. It's so incredibly dumb. Spoke to 5 different people in customer service, got disconnected 3 times. Horrendous experience so far. Just FYI for any new customers looking to sign up to take advantage of this offer.

    • Contact them, cancel the additional cardholder, get the confirmation, add via the promo link.

  • does amex send out the card to the additional card holder or to primary card holder address?

  • This offer ends today and my Velocity AMEX with the bonus 120,000 points is in the mail and due due to arrive by Tuesday next week. I cant add an extra card holder online until I recieve the card to set up my account. Do you think if I call they could set it up for me so I dont miss out on the extra 15,000?

  • this expires today !!

    • i think you will need to have the card on hand first in order to activate it before you can apply via the link to add another supplementary card. you can always try and call up and add a card but have to quote promo code and make sure that rep adds notes so you get your account so that you end up getting 15k points if you have to chase them up.

  • anyone else getting an error right at the end of the application while trying to add a card if they have more than 4 already while travelling from overseas? might have to cancel a few and try a vpn.
