    This appears to be available only to cards issued by American Express directly. Not Bank issued cards.

      I don't see the point of bank issued credit cards. High fees, high interest rates, no "bonus offers" like this.

      • roughana on 04/12/2013 - 10:56

        Bank issued American Express cards.
        They do have bonus offers. e.g. Small Business promotion 5x$10 back
        We don't pay any fees for ours and we don't pay the high interest rate.

        • SmiTTy on 04/12/2013 - 12:09

          I dont pay a cent for my bank issued amex.

      • haz on 04/12/2013 - 10:59

        Not all places accept AMEX and some merchant have surcharges when using AMEX.

        Secondly, AMEX cards issued by the bank are generally tagged along with Mastercard or Visa card and are issued for free, giving you the best of both worlds of getting the higher points when available, or reverting to the Mastercard or Visa charge when surcharges apply to the AMEX.

      • Smigit on 04/12/2013 - 11:12

        My CBA bank issued card is joined to my Mastercard account, which makes managing funds easier (one account to deal with). Additionally the Amex card earns me additional points to the Mastercard, so there is a benefit to me using it over the Mastercard. CBA also doesn't charge me any extra to have the second card.

        Ultimately there is no disadvantage to having the bank issued card. Even if I had an Amex issued Amex card, it still may be worthwhile having the bank issued one as well. Given how many places do not accept Amex or place a surcharge on its use, I'd always want the Mastercard anyway.

        I found a link for this deal from the Bank Issued cards site
        https://www.amexconnect.com.au/Offers/873/Spend-50-on-Westfi…
        However, I can't remain logged in and navigate to this page. Navigation to this page seems to effectively log me out.
        I've tried with IE and Firefox. Firefox is also giving me a "Content Encoding Error

        Does it work for anyone else?

          This is still not working, despite a similar problem being resolved with the David Jones offer.

          Hi roughana, your link of DJ spend $250 get $50 back is working now. I just register the bank issue card and the sub card.
          Can you tell me how you "discover" the link?
          You are brilliant!!!!! Thanks~~~

    thanks

    just a heads up, you can purchase XS by Westfield Gift Cards that can be used anywhere that accepts eftpos which is an added bonus

    Also , payable at checkout

    • service fee for westfield cards $2.95
    • service fee for XS westfield cards $4.95
    • kingsville on 04/12/2013 - 10:53

      any way of avoiding the $4.95 service fee on the XS cards?

  • ranma on 04/12/2013 - 10:51
    +1

    In true OZb form - it seems as though purchasing these online incur a $2.95 service charge, is that right? So I'm better off buying one from the concierge instead? That $2.95 is something I could buy from Meritline in the future!

    • mick123 on 04/12/2013 - 10:52
      +2

      ranma, i believe they charge $2.95 even in person

      • ranma on 04/12/2013 - 11:26

        Oh wow - no way. Does anyone definitely know this? I thought it was only an online service fee (which now that I think about it, doesn't make sense.. they would charge more for getting it in person since they pay somoene to sit there, than online).

        • mjp80 on 11/12/2013 - 17:08

          Bought at the concierge today, was still charged the service fee. Was told that it is "so we can replace the card if it is lost or stolen"

          Received near-instant e-mail from AmEx confirming that I'd earned a statement credit, though.

    • ciab on 04/12/2013 - 10:55

      Maybe make your card value $47.05 + $2.95 service charge = $50

      • abc on 04/12/2013 - 10:58
        +1

        Pretty risky move to "save" $2.95 as you are paying it no matter what.

        The promo might mean 'spend $50 on gift cards and receive a $10 credit'.

        • easternculture on 04/12/2013 - 11:28

          maybe someone can try if they intend to buy one :p

          although it should work because it would appear as $50 charged to your card

        • Turd on 04/12/2013 - 12:07

          Works!

  • mini2 on 04/12/2013 - 10:54

    Buying the XS card effectively give you a free $5.05 to burn, not sure is it worth the effort.

  • cyssero on 04/12/2013 - 10:55
    +3

    $3 issue fee so only $7 profit. But it can be used at Woolworths for a 14% saving after fees.

    • excite on 04/12/2013 - 11:10

      can this gift card be used in every Woolworths store, or only the Woolworths in Westfield?

      • cyssero on 04/12/2013 - 11:28

        Presumably only Woolworths stores in Westfield.

        • mini_wombat on 04/12/2013 - 11:48

          As I remember Woolworth does not accept the Westfield cards … (even not when they are at Westfield …) Not all retailers at Westfield accept them.

        • abc on 04/12/2013 - 11:59
          +1

          Woolworths now accepts them. I used a Westfield gift card there last month.

          It's Coles who no longer accepts them now.

        • cyssero on 04/12/2013 - 12:52
          +1

          It's on the website

          The Westfield Gift Card is the perfect gift as it’s accepted at 8,000 participating stores in Westfield Shopping Centres nationwide. Retailers include Woolworths Group, David Jones, JB Hi-Fi, Target, Kmart and Rebel Sport. They’re easy to use and make the ideal gift.

    • cbpeh1 on 04/12/2013 - 11:57

      i am in awe - how do you work out the 14% savings?

  • Yolo678 on 04/12/2013 - 10:56

    • linz88 on 04/12/2013 - 13:46

      Just purchased a $50 gift card from the concierge, a $2.95 fee applies.

        Me too. Just bought one from Westfield Sydney CBD. Extra fee charged.
        But I received a Swarovski Aura 5ml perfume mini for free. I personally has this perfume in full size. Lover it! The mini is pretty cute, with a diamond crystal on the top if the bottle.

  • Matt P on 04/12/2013 - 11:09

    So they want us to pay them to give them my money. This is ridiculous!!!!

    Do some research, a decent percentage of money put onto gift cards is never redeemed, so they're already taking the piss by putting expiry dates etc.. on these sorts of cards, this just takes the cake.

    • Smigit on 04/12/2013 - 11:14
      +4

      "a decent percentage of money put onto gift cards is never redeemed"

      Which is why they do it….but this statistic also has no impact on those people that do use it all.

    • No on 04/12/2013 - 11:21

      Normally it would be ridiculous but amex is giving us more than 3 times the service fee so Im in.

      I can sort of understand Westfield having to charge a service fee, it can't be cheap or easy to get all those retailers to accept there giftcard. Not that I would ever buy one if it wasn't discounted like it is today.

      • Gav on 04/12/2013 - 11:32

        Please explain why you pay $2 more "service fee" for the XS card then. Is it nearly twice as hard to 'prepare'?

        • No on 04/12/2013 - 11:41

          Its an eftpos card, who knows what eftpos charge.

      • odysseus on 04/12/2013 - 12:02

        Nobody's forcing Westfield to do it. They gain by:
        - getting extra revenue from the sales from merchants in their store
        - the residual amounts left over that go unused e.g. $0.87 left on the card, a fair few will just toss it
        - amounts that are not redeemed when the cards are e.g. lost or just not used before expiry

        • abc on 04/12/2013 - 12:14

          • the residual amounts left over that go unused e.g. $0.87 left on the card, a fair few will just toss it

        • odysseus on 05/12/2013 - 19:52

          In my experience most retailers at Westfield won't (or say they can't) do them.

          Have only found a few at Westfield who do.

        • [Deactivated] on 05/12/2013 - 21:48

          I've only used a Westfield card once or twice. Both came from reward programs so I never paid any surcharge on them. I do remember it was difficult to find a trader at Westfield who would put in a tiny amount in order to get rid of the last few dollars on the card. I eventually got all the credit on the card used up.

          The smallest amount I ever used on a gift card was 16 cents which is what I had left on one of my Wish cards bought at 5% off at RACV

    • billy_bob on 17/12/2013 - 01:02

      Wow Turd, what car do you drive that is so fuel efficient:
      $5.05 = 3.2 litres of petrol to do 135km, works out to 2.4 L/100 km.
      Even a Prius can't do that…
      Possible that you may have miscalculated? Or do you ride a very small engined motorbike ?
