AmEx Platinum Charge Buying Things in Foreign Currencies?

I saw that this card has a 2 x earn on international spends or travel. Does anyone know if that counts if someone was to purchase something in a foreign currency, like if they bought a movie for $10 USD, and it charges 14 aud, does that mean you get 14 amex points or 28 points?

    You'd be much better off using a 28 Degrees/Bankwest Zero Platinum/Citibank Plus for international transactions, regardless of double points, due to 3% overseas transaction charge.

    • ^ Correct. Also it is 2x total earn, so in your example it would just be 2x 14aud or 28 points.

      Depends how highly you value your points - if you think you can get more value than 1.5c/point then knock yourself out!
