    Applied yesterday, approved and card will be sent via DHL by Monday. Pretty good service.

    • I have to say - this is the only card left where the Amex service is decent (in my experience)

  • Does the offer exclude the current additional card member now?
    T&C says "All other Card Members who currently hold or who have previously held any Card product issued by American Express Australia Limited in the past 18 months are ineligible for this offer."

      Nope. Additional card holders can apply.

      I got approved 🙂

        Well done sir!

          Oo yea !

      • are you saying you got approved for the card? or did your bonus points get approved after spending the minimum requirement?

        • Approved for the card. Bonus points should be fine.

          • @Pab23q: have there been instances where secondary card holders have been getting bonus points within the 18 months exclusion period?

            I thought that the 18 months exclusion period only applied for the bonus points offer and did not affect whether you get approved for the card or not

            • @kazer: yes this is the way

              • @georgie2323: No.

                Contacted support before apply, they told me additional card holder can get the bonus points. But I didn’t get the bonus points after spend 20,000+ . Then I contacted support again, another support told me additional card holder also need to meet 18 months requirement.

                For now just lodged a case with AMEX to complaint.

                • @PeppaCat: Can you please share the outcome of this complaint? Also curious via which channel you contacted support before applying. I am an additional card holder and already have an amex account.

    • I wonder this too. I am currently an additional card holder.

    Got the card on Jan 20 and spent $5k. Already got the 275k points on Jan 28.

    • how does a charge card show up on the credit report? Does it show $0 or closing of each month?

  • Offers still active

  • My Referral link shows as 200,000 not 275,000 and 75,000 for Referrer?

    • +1

      Targeted.

    • try different browsers, and maybe even VPN

      but you can also apply first and just complain after by using screenshots showing the difference and get extra bonus points for your trouble

  • Just got approved and the targeted points was 275k. Nice!

    Why do I feel like I just lost $1450 though lol. I suppose the onus is on me to make the most out of it.

  • Anyone please got a referral link I could use for the 275k points? Cheers

  • 200k points for me

    edit: 275k via icognito

  • how does a charge card show up on the credit report? Does it show $0 or closing of each month?

    • Like any other credit card: the credit limit you applied/got approved for. And they will report your payment history: if you paid the min required each month or if you missed a payment.

      • does it show a limit? Charge has no limit

        • Fair point, I read now there's not pre-set credit limit.
          I was going to apply in March for this one, so probably somebody that has the card should reply.
          Other credit cards report the credit limit.

      it shows up on the credt report as $0

    Applied and approved instantly, can't wait to start using the card for all the perks!

    • Already had amazon prime year paid :)

      Make sure you start enrolling into the hotel status's when you get the offers because it might take a couple of weeks

      • I already paid for the annual Amazon prime for a year, wonder if I can get it refunded and use the card benefit that way.

        Yup, definitely need to get into the hotel benefits, didn't realise takes a couple of weeks.

    FYI you have to have recieved and paid your first statement before you get the credit. So apply asap if youre thinking of booking any travel.
