      Umm when I tried to pay for my Philips 40" 4k monitor earlier this year they said they don't accept Amex (West Ryde branch). Just checked their website and it says "Pick Up - You have a choice to pay by VISA,MASRTER or pay cash when you pick up your order."

      • jdr on 14/06/2016 - 08:34

        When I checked the website just now, on the Payment page of the Help section, I saw "All prices are for CASH or EFTPOS only. A 3% surcharge for Master, Visa card, AMEX and Paypal."

        Actually, I thought that there was a ruling recently that merchants can't surcharge higher than the actual fee from the credit card company. I'm sure that Amex is higher than Visa and Master cards.

        • edrift on 14/06/2016 - 09:10

          i think that doesn't get enforced till next year and only applies to businesses of a certain size?

          could be wrong though…

        • illumination on 14/06/2016 - 09:25

          @edrift: Nah I think you're right
          I can't remember the exact sequence of events but I think one of the new rules might be implemented as of November this year, and then the other one is July next year. Read it on Point Hacks.

        • Karlotta - Margarita on 14/06/2016 - 10:16

          @illumination:

          In terms of charges - "The new rules will be rolled out in two stages. The ban will commence on 1 September 2016 for “large retailers”, and on 1 September 2017 for all other merchants. Large retailers are defined as either having gross revenue of more than $25 million, the value of its assets is more than $12.5 million, or it employs more than 50 people." Don't know if Umart falls into this category

        • Kevan2 on 14/06/2016 - 13:31

          @jasyoung:
          I was under the impression the rule was ' charge up to what the purcher won't accept ie what the market will bear.' oh that was Banks and ..

      Computer Alliance and Videopro are also on the list. But they may only be in Brisbane?

    • Overtime2000 on 14/06/2016 - 08:32

      Come to think of it, does Umart even take amex? I don't remember there was that option when paying in person

      • NigelTufnel on 14/06/2016 - 08:38
        -6

        As a true ozbargainer you would never pay Amex at Umart because "A 3% surcharge for Master ,Visa card ,AMEX and Paypal".
        However, you'll probably be better off to if you're using this deal, so long as you're not spending too much.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/06/2016 - 08:43

      $209 for a 500gb Samsung evo = $179 after credit. Cheaper than the current Ebay promo

    • vocadata on 14/06/2016 - 10:20

      In my experience, acceptance of AmEx cards by non-major retailers outside Sydney and Melbourne is pretty low. Gold Coast is almost zero, as was Port Macquarie when we were there on the weekend. Can anyone from the other cities indicate acceptance levels there?

        • ozlab on 15/06/2016 - 10:47

          This list is not reliable even for Sydney CBD. Many shops in the list and they don't accept Amex.

    • em on 14/06/2016 - 07:46
      +1

      It should be added to the title, but its pretty normal for Amex to have online or in store only. Also sometimes even though it specifically states online or instore, the way the merchant has set up its payment systems means sometimes you can still be eligible for the credit even if you pay online.

      • MrDixit on 14/06/2016 - 08:25
        +1

        Trudat - unfortunately you don't know until too late. I thought they normally make it clearer in the promo material (I only saw it hidden in the T's and C's).

        • tonester on 14/06/2016 - 10:51

          deal updated :)

          note that online/phone can appear same as in-store, such as with dish'd previously in shop small

  • Overtime2000 on 14/06/2016 - 08:29

    wow, Umart and Computer Alliance
    suprisingly great deal for Amex

  • unfunkable on 14/06/2016 - 08:33

    • mauricem on 14/06/2016 - 08:54
      +2

      I thought all umart sales were "online", it used to be you'd rock up at the store to buy something and if you hadnt preordered they'd direct you to a terminal to enter your order "online instore" Has it changed?

      • NigelTufnel on 14/06/2016 - 09:29

        I think that's it's referring to where the payment is made (online or in-store). You can still pay in-store (I usually do).

      • furythree on 14/06/2016 - 15:08

        im wondering if it will work if you used paypal to checkout with your amex?

        i saw this http://www.computeralliance.com.au/parts?id=13482

        which is a great deal if $30 off at about 42cents per gb. which is rare for a 5tb+ single drive

        but $19 delivery ruins it :(

        • Overtime2000 on 14/06/2016 - 15:44
          +2

          wont work because it will be charged through paypal, rather than the retailer. Hence it won't trigger the cashback

  • Choc83 on 14/06/2016 - 08:48

    Useful for your tax return if you have two American express cards. H&R block will split your transaction across two cards

    • T-man on 14/06/2016 - 11:28

    Wonder if you can get LP to just charge a dollar more, call it a 'tip'… $70 is a pretty good deal for unlimited lunacy

    • illumination on 14/06/2016 - 09:26

      I don't see why not. I've specifically asked to be charged extra before and if they ask you can just be honest. It doesn't affect them and if anything should benefit them seeing as they get extra money anyway lol

      Buy a $100 gift card

    • Syd Bargain Girl on 14/06/2016 - 20:56

      I thought you could get the $30 if you purchase online, so I went to order and they charge a credit card surcharge which brings the $99 pass to $100.73. On the website it says "Luna Park Sydney is charged a fee to process all credit card and PayWave payments. As a result a credit card surcharge of 1.75% applies to all online purchases. This surcharge can be avoided by purchasing at a Luna Park Sydney Ticket Box using cash, EFTPOS or redeeming a Gift Card." I don't know if they charge the surcharge when you buy at Luna Park using Amex though?

      Good I checked here first, otherwise I wouldn't have got the $30 if I ordered online.

      • Hoju on 14/06/2016 - 21:31

        Oh great news.
        So can you confirm the $30 rebate came through ok buying it online?

        • Syd Bargain Girl on 29/06/2016 - 14:02

          No it doesn't apply online, only at the actual venue.

      I'll probably give it a swing in the next few weeks. ;)

      Explaining why, and being prepared in advance having worked out the total amount including the AMEX surcharge, and how much you want each individual transaction to be, will probably make the person serving you more likely to help - and ultimately it's not like it costs them anything.

      • drsmithy on 27/07/2016 - 21:41

        Bit late I know, but I was able to use multiple payments at UMart Milton. Young lass was a bit unsure at first but another bloke there told her to go ahead and do it.

        Rebates haven't posted yet though (couple of days later). Interestingly I only got one "thanks for using your offer" email for each card even though there were multiple transactions.

        Cheers for that. Btw where did you find that info? I couldn't find any details on Amex site. Also, I wonder if all of them count as one merchant, meaning you can't get cashback from two branches?

        • danielh on 14/06/2016 - 22:00

          Sorry, thought you meant which Goldleaf restaurant would take the deal. Personally between the wife and I, we have 7 AmEx cards so we are covered for all of them with spare change. Hopefully you have a few cards of your own. I suspect you can only use it once per card.

        • EarlyBird on 14/06/2016 - 22:54

          @danielh:
          As many of the merchants in this deal are based in NSW, I wasn't sure if the Goldleaf restaurant is the one in Vic and I couldn't find an address for it from the Amex site.

    Since it says 'Redeem the offer once per participating Merchant, up to 3 times' does that mean I can use the same card at 3 different locations of the same company (eg videopro or bose) and be eligible for the cashback at each store?

    Redeem the offer once per participating Mid Year Merchant, up to 3 times. Exclusions apply.

    Bit confused by this statement. Can you go to the same merchant 3 times, or only once?

    • EarlyBird on 14/06/2016 - 22:58
      +3

      It's perfectly clear:
      "Redeem the offer once per participating Merchant, up to 3 times."

      That means max 3 claims from 3 different merchants.

    • pwoh on 15/06/2016 - 19:40

      Just to fully clarify this, I emailed Amex and they said that different store locations aren't considered different merchants; e.g. you can't get this offer from 3 different Umart stores as they are considered the same by Amex.

  • cathole on 14/06/2016 - 23:29

    Umart has a surcharge of 2-3% (can't remember exactly) for credit cards so keep that in mind.
