Similar deal to the previous one in March / April and this current one - but this time it is 10,000 points and only pure Amex rewards cards. Must apply by 29th May 2024.

Offer should look like this when logging into your Amex account or in your Amex account offers like this or on your mobile app. But may not be targeted as it is featured on the dedicated page to add additional card holders

Notes:

  • Appears to be only for Amex rewards points cards, i.e. not for Qantas or Velocity Amex cards. All cards eligible

  • I also applied for an additional card and received the 15,000 points in April. Points we're credited to account in about 5 minutes

  • I have applied for an additional card this time around as well - however points haven't credited yet - been about 24 hours. I did raise with CS - and have been told it could take up to the 8-10 weeks outlined in the T&Cs and / or end of current statement period. Regardless - case was logged.

    • sicarz on 22/05/2024 - 22:48

      does it show up when you go through the normal steps of adding an additional card holder?

      • CyberMurning on 22/05/2024 - 23:08

    Logged into amex from the link given. Scroll down where it says add additional card holder for 10000 points. Additional card holder approved in minute and 10000 points was immediately added to my account.

    Does extra card include lounge access?

    • Pheam on 22/05/2024 - 23:39

      Only for the first additional card holder you applied will get priority pass lounge access, all other card holders can only go Amex lounges

      Ah yeah you are right. Didn't even see the tabs! Thanks I'll remove my note and update title! Thanks

  • Lange on 23/05/2024 - 00:32

    Would cancelling a yet to be activated card and re-applying works?

    • coolsteps on 23/05/2024 - 01:30

      no harm trying if its just an additional card there is no credit history impact

  • coolsteps on 23/05/2024 - 01:35

    I also applied for an additional card and received the 15,000 points back in April. Points we're credited to account in about 5 minutes too and on some accounts i had more than 4 additional card holders already.

    has anyone with more then 1 additional card holder already apply for this promo and get the points too?

    • randomusername2017 on 23/05/2024 - 08:04

      Just got instant approval for this one, points credited. Have 6 other additional including the one from April.

      • Frozensage on 23/05/2024 - 10:27

        can you remove additional holder and add them again?

        • randomusername2017 on 23/05/2024 - 10:32

          Need to call to have additional cards closed.

          Card to self works if you run out of family members.

          • Heybargain on 23/05/2024 - 10:46

            @randomusername2017: As in apply for a card in your own name (account holder)?

            • randomusername2017 on 23/05/2024 - 10:54
              +2

              @Heybargain: Yep..just vary the middle name field.

              • Heybargain on 23/05/2024 - 13:02

                @randomusername2017: Thanks for the tip.
                I removed the existing cards I had registered for from last deal and applied with my own name (varying middle name). Approved and bonus points rewarded.

                • coldazure on 23/05/2024 - 13:23

                  @Heybargain: so i understand what you meant here, you called them up and removed the additional card holders under your family member's names, and then re-registered under your own name with a random middle name, and that was accepted?

                  do they not require formal ID verifying your middle name?

                  • randomusername2017 on 23/05/2024 - 13:43
                    +1

                    @coldazure: Variation on your middle name compared to original account.. leave blank, use just initial.

                    • coldazure on 23/05/2024 - 13:45

                      @randomusername2017: oh right, so i'm shit outta luck if i have no middle name. darn.

                      • Heybargain on 24/05/2024 - 10:23

                        @coldazure: I was able to apply for 3 additional cards all under my name, instantly approved and bonus points issued :)

                        • Rifty6210 on 24/05/2024 - 17:32

                          @Heybargain: May I ask how did you go about this way? I presume all with different middle name initials?

                          • Heybargain on 24/05/2024 - 18:46
                            +1

                            @Rifty6210: Nope. First name surname no middle names. Same address, drivers license details.

                            • Rifty6210 on 24/05/2024 - 18:56

                              @Heybargain: Thanks! I’ll give it a go on my second card.

                            • coldazure on 24/05/2024 - 20:32

                              @Heybargain: that's bloody hilarious…. i don't understand why that works but i ain't gonna complain!

              • me1stt on 28/05/2024 - 10:41

                @randomusername2017: Middle name trick worked for me too. Cheers!

    Followed nepaus's instructions and also got the 10K points. FWIW I have a standard Elevate card earning Velocity points with one additional cardholder already (now two).

    Free Economy ticket SYD-MEL wooooo

  • RMM on 23/05/2024 - 08:13

    Last time I got 4x15000 Velocity points. Will try this round too, but need to cancel those 4 first, have run out of immediate family members!

    • sicarz on 23/05/2024 - 08:32

      Oh wow, that's pretty wicked. Easy points!

      • RMM on 23/05/2024 - 08:56

        Ok, confirmed. Just got the first 10,000 for a new card holder after 15 minutes

          How do you cancel those cards? Did you have to call or it could be done online? I've tried searching the option online but couldn't find the cancel card option.

          • bauser99 on 23/05/2024 - 10:16

            @Lange: You need to call Amex to cancel supp cards, can't do it online

        • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2024 - 11:57

          did you delete and add the same person again?

          • RMM on 27/05/2024 - 16:01

            @[Deactivated]: Yes, I cancelled three additional card holders on Friday and added them again

    • digitalane on 23/05/2024 - 10:30

      4 adds on one card of yours all got points?

  • Wiadro on 23/05/2024 - 08:32
    +1

    Your request will take approximately 10 business days to process. If approved, the card will be shipped to your mailing address on file, even if a different address for YOUR DOG is provided.

    • Silmo on 23/05/2024 - 10:51

      I received this as well on one of my cards. The other one was approved almost instantly

  • Andykay on 23/05/2024 - 08:44

    Looks like this deal doesn't apply to business Amex cards? I can't find any way to apply it to my Qantas Business Rewards card, which is a bummer.

  • E5TOQUE on 23/05/2024 - 09:49

    Can confirm - applied and the points are credited within ~10 minutes or so.

    Has anyone tried adding more then one new additional card holder to see if you get more points credited? haha

  • Mybabyburrito on 23/05/2024 - 10:13

    It's been two hours, and have not received the points

  • Frozensage on 23/05/2024 - 10:27

    last time said 1st additional card only but still worked for the 2nd and 3rd.

  • digitalane on 23/05/2024 - 10:29

    Just did on all 3 of my cards. Got 3x10k almost instant on all. Didn’t do last month one in the end as tried to add overseas family and it ended up being in the too hard basket as Amex wanted copies of visa etc

    • coldazure on 23/05/2024 - 12:48

      do you do this every time the deal is available? if so, don't you run out of people to sign up as additional card holders?

      • digitalane on 23/05/2024 - 15:05
        +3

        Just cancel the additionals and then re-add when a future deal appears. I’ve done it 3 or 4 times. Used to be a lot easier as they didn’t check details so I had cards in the name of my cats 😎

        • [Deactivated] on 24/05/2024 - 11:21

          Hopefully they wouldn't ban people for doing this too many times.

  • bot22 on 23/05/2024 - 10:39

    Couldnt see the offer for velcocity platinum. Does this affect the additional card holders eligibility for there own amex sign on?

  • Silmo on 23/05/2024 - 11:22

    Got it approved almost immediately, however after around an hour received another email saying we're reviewing your application

    • krazek on 23/05/2024 - 11:29

      Mine was the same but when i checked my amex pts the 10k was already there

      • Silmo on 23/05/2024 - 11:35

        Could see that as well, hopefully everything is good.

        • [Deactivated] on 24/05/2024 - 15:01

          Did you hear back from them after the email?

    • digitalane on 23/05/2024 - 15:06

      Same. But already got the points so don’t care if the card doesnt show up

      • [Deactivated] on 24/05/2024 - 16:29

        The point shows up but if you go to tracking it doesn't show there

  • Darkjimick on 23/05/2024 - 11:24

    Got a text saying we need you to call with more information. Assume not approved then.

    • shakir99 on 23/05/2024 - 11:29

    • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2024 - 12:07

      did you provide the license for the additonal cardholder?

      • kerfuffle on 23/05/2024 - 13:28

        Can also provide the Amex card member number if they already have a supp Amex for another account

        • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2024 - 13:32

          I know. I was trying to find out why they weren't approved right away

  • svm on 23/05/2024 - 11:52

    Only 5000 points is offered to me when I have the platinum card. Anyone else the same?

  • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2024 - 11:56

    I believe you can add a family member or add a friend as an additional cardholder. Does the person have to be an Australian citizen/resident?

    • Kyoz on 23/05/2024 - 13:13

      Nope; I added a family who isn't one. Just had to call up though after applying when they asked to verify the identity.

      • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2024 - 13:18

        How did you verify the id?

    • digitalane on 23/05/2024 - 15:07

    so what's the ozb way for these types of offers? sign up for an additional card holder and then immediately cancel that additional card holder so that we can wait for the next offer to sign up again?

  • jace88 on 23/05/2024 - 13:13

    Signed up online and it required me to call Amex back to provide additional information.

    • [Deactivated] on 29/05/2024 - 11:19

      What did they ask?

      • jace88 on 29/05/2024 - 11:20

        Turned out they were interested to know the relationship between the subsidiary cardholder and me.

        It was for my dad.

        • [Deactivated] on 29/05/2024 - 11:39

          Nice. Did you get the point allocated right away after the call?

            @[Deactivated]: Nah took a couple of days to show up in my Membership section of the app but it did get credited before I got the physical card in the mail. Note that I'm with Qantas Ultimate so basically the points pool up and transfer once a month so it hasn't transferred yet to Qantas.

    Removed additional cardholders from last 15k bonus run. Added them back this run and received pts within 5 minutes. Works for all 4 additionals for 40k pts!

    • Lukeypop on 23/05/2024 - 19:32

      4 additional cards on separate cards?

      • Rifty6210 on 23/05/2024 - 20:21

        All on one card

        • Lukeypop on 23/05/2024 - 20:50

          So you just added 4 different additional cards on the one account and got 40k points? Seems like a glitch if so?

          • Rifty6210 on 23/05/2024 - 21:01

            @Lukeypop: I don’t think so… as @Frozensage and @RMM mentioned, I was able to get 15k x 4 additionals on one card in the last deal. Seems like it’s working again this time. I would think that if too many people try this, the TnCs would change to patch it.

            • Lukeypop on 23/05/2024 - 21:08

              @Rifty6210: I believe the tncs have first approver card only? Will test it out I guess.

              • Heybargain on 24/05/2024 - 09:57

                @Lukeypop: Tried by adding another to one card (added one yesterday under my name which was instantly approved). Amex called me about an hour later to say they had approved the request, the second lot of 10k landed in my account shortly after.

                Edit: just tried to add another card under my name again, approved straight away and bonus points landed.

    • richrichie on 24/05/2024 - 01:35

      As long as you click through the link above, sign in and then populate the cardholder details, you should be okay.

        Thanks, just added my wife on both Essential and Qantas Discovery cards. Got the 10K bonus points for the Essentials card but not for the Qantas Discovery card. Anyone experienced the issue with getting points for the Qantas card?

    • DrRalph on 23/05/2024 - 22:05

      Confirmed not targeted. This was definitely not in my account. I followed the link provided here and got the points within minutes of my application for an additional card holder.

  • zan5hin on 26/05/2024 - 01:42

    My online portal doesn't mention 10k points. When I go to the website it always says "log in" even though I was already logged in.

    In the Android app, it says "add a new card" like the OP's screenshot, but doesn't mention 10k points.

    Oh well. I've milked the cow too much it seems. And I didn't even get a card for my cat.

  • jace88 on 27/05/2024 - 19:26

    Added a previously cancelled additional cardholder (cancelled more than a year ago) and got the 10,000 QFF points in the 'to be transferred' view of the app not long after approval. Card still hasn't arrived yet.

  • Heybargain on 28/05/2024 - 12:02

    Additional physical cards arrived in the post yesterday.
    Jumped onto chat this morning and cancelled them.

    Used the link and have so far added another 2 cardholders, bonus points have also landed. I think I'll stop now :)
