The relevant MyAMEXShop offer went up this morning (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/856555), but I really felt like this was worth it's own post.
I've had my eye on this piece for quite some time. You can't generally get it below RRP. I've gotten the occasional 10% off code for The Iconic (and checked that it worked in the app), but have never pulled the trigger. I've read the T&Cs back to front, and as far as I can tell, as long as you click through from the MyAMEXShop first, use the app, AND make a new account, AND use your linked AMEX card for payment, you should get nearly $512 back on this purchase.
(also, for those unfamiliar, this is the "special edition" Ocean Star GMT. So it comes with the stainless steel bracelet and the NATO strap in matching colourway)

  Also I haven't bought this yet. Someone please tell me not to. Tell me it's ugly. Tell me there's no point to having a GMT watch when you travel once a year tops. There's plenty of other things I can do with $1700.

    It’s ugly and too big 44mm is huge for most wrist sizes

      I have 44mm watches that wear well on my spaghetti wrists, and 44mm watches that I can't wear because they don't sit right and look ridiculous. I've discovered that lug to lug is more important for "wearability", and this is 50mm. Which …… is still too big for me. My SRPD23K is 48.4mm and is probably my limit.

  Not sure about the Amex deal but all the other cashbacks sites calculate the cashback pre GST.

    "Credit is not available for any service charges, shipping, taxes, or additional fees."
    I'll adjust it, one sec.

      Well then there's another reason not to buy it. The lug to lug is big and now it's even more expensive.

      Picture 5 in the ad makes me go cross eyed. WTF is up with that?
