They did it for Apple Pay, they did it for Samsung Pay, now it's Android Pay's turn! Just found it in my AMEX app. If you can't find it/don't want to install the app, the link I've provided has an enrol button.

If you are getting this message:
"Unfortunately this campaign is by invitation only. Please visit http://www.amexconnect.com.au for other fabulous offers"
Then you are attempting to add a bank-issued AMEX and thus cannot take advantage of this deal (thanks to various commenters below but Turd in particular for his detailed reasoning) for noting this. It has to be an AMEX-issued card.

Also if your Android phone is rooted, you can't use Android Pay. Might be able to get around it if you search for solutions?

Copied and pasted:

  • Save the offer to your eligible Card and tap to pay with Android Pay spending $20 or more on that Card, in one or more transactions, in store by 20/10/16 to receive one $10 credit. Limited to the first 10,000 Cards to save the offer.
  • Only American Express issued Cards are eligible for this offer.
  • You must have a compatible Android Device and your Card must be enrolled in Android Pay. More information about Android Pay, including how to add your Card, is available here.
  • Offer is limited to one credit per registered Card. Only spend on the Card you register counts towards the Offer.
  • Card Members can spend using Android Pay in store at any merchant in Australia that accepts American Express contactless payments. Examples of stores which accept contactless transactions from American Express are available here.
  • Excludes online purchases. Offer valid at Australian locations only.
  • Credit is not redeemable for cash or other payment forms.
  • Credit should appear on your billing statement within 5 business days from qualifying spend but may take up to 90 days from offer end date.
  • Credit will not be applied to your Account if it has been suspended or cancelled.
  • Credit may be reversed if your qualifying purchase is refunded or cancelled

    What's a cheap Android phone that I can use for this?

  • SnoozeAndLose on 21/09/2016 - 10:42

    Sorry to ask, can i use it on any paypass device or it need a Android pay sticker to use?

    • Turd on 21/09/2016 - 10:44

      android pay sticker, coles, myer, 7/11, all have it

      • kerfuffle on 21/09/2016 - 10:44

        No such thing

        • Turd on 21/09/2016 - 10:45

          i mean android logo

        • kerfuffle on 21/09/2016 - 10:46

          @Turd: A logo. They meant the stickers where you just stick a NFC chip on the back of your phone like with Commbank

        • Turd on 21/09/2016 - 10:49

          @kerfuffle: ahhh right….. it's just the NFC logo/sticker. My Sony Z had one

          @kerfuffle: I don't think that's what they meant. I think they meant does the payment terminal need to have an android pay sticker/logo for it to work.
          Answer: no it works on most terminals that accept tap and pay for Amex.

        • SnoozeAndLose on 21/09/2016 - 12:12

          @NigelTufnel:

          Thank you for your answer

    • kerfuffle on 21/09/2016 - 10:44

      You need an Android phone with minimum 4.4 installed and a NFC chip, the Android Pay app and an AMEX-issued card to take advantage of this offer.

    Didn't Apple Pay and Samsung Pay get spend 3x? How come Android Pay only gets spend 1x? :-(

    • illumination on 21/09/2016 - 11:09

      Yea that was technically a better offer ratio wise (spend $5+ x3 get $15) but this is I guess more straightforward?

    whats the maximum number of cards you can add to the app? anyone else experience getting a different card number and name when scanning their cards and told to call amex to add? its a bit of a worry in security. i think ill be deleting cards as soon as i get cash back

    • theguyrules on 21/09/2016 - 14:07

      Yeah I've only had amex for a few months but they've given me like $80 worth of credit on everyday stuff.
      So good.

      • BK12 on 22/09/2016 - 09:48

        I am in the same boat , i only had amex for three months i got around 90$ credit for general stuff i buy, i have now applied a supliment card for my partner hopefully double the credits from now

  • woodpipe on 21/09/2016 - 14:49

    Cool! Android Pay actually adds functionality to my Amex as I can't tap it at most locations (have to insert it and use my PIN)

    • McFly on 21/09/2016 - 15:49

      Then you still won't be able to tap it.
      I'm finding more and more places are upgrading their machines for NFC though.

      • kerfuffle on 21/09/2016 - 15:57

        Or maybe they meant that the chip that allows them to use ExpressPay is broken?

        • woodpipe on 21/09/2016 - 16:06

          Nah I meant that the chip on the Amex cards seems to be different to the chips on the mastercards and visas and so I need to swipe or insert the Amex most of the time

        • kerfuffle on 21/09/2016 - 17:34

          @woodpipe: Then like McFly said, either it's the terminal or your card hasn't been upgraded to tap and go yet

        • yellowrhino93 on 21/09/2016 - 18:53

          @kerfuffle: it's usually the terminal they have to have american tap and pay as well. Thats why mastercard paypass terminals for example won't accept it even if they do accept amex as a company/business

    • SaberX on 12/10/2016 - 01:49

      it's annoying as hell but so often you tap and go visa it's fine, or mastercard, but amex then gets you to insert it into the chip reader, and most of time doesn't work, but you have to go through the motions before it asks you for the old swipe the magnetic label… :S

  • TheBargainShopper on 21/09/2016 - 14:56

    When I follow the enrol link in Chrome, it warns of a privacy error (connection not private).

    $2 pre-charge appeared, and the offer appeared in the offers section.

  • onlyme on 21/09/2016 - 21:13

    Slightly off topic: Do AMEX purchases via Android pay also count in Shop Small promotions? It could be a sneaky way to avoid the surcharges associated with AMEX.

    • morrisoc on 21/09/2016 - 21:54
      +6

      I have found that using the phone at united service staions, JB Hi Fi and others lets you avoid the surcharges that come with amex. From what I can work out it has to be added manually so by the time you paywave you are done! I do it all the time. As a result you get the shop small benefits plus the generous points structure.

  • morrisoc on 21/09/2016 - 21:43

    So assuming I have three cards and I purchased a gift card at Coles for $60 on the self service checkout with split transactions im guessing I get half back?

    • illumination on 22/09/2016 - 01:00

      Yep sounds right..! Keep in mind you need 3 registered cards for that.

  • Ughhh on 22/09/2016 - 09:47

    If you added 3 registered AMEX cards to Android pay app, when you pay, I assume that if you don't manually selected a different card as default, the payment would automatically come out of the original/first default card?

    • morrisoc on 22/09/2016 - 12:54

      True, you need to swap them manually as one will always be your default. That said its as easy as opening the app and clicking on the you you need.

    once you have done the Android pay can you delete the card from the app and still qualify for the cash back? or do you need to leave the card on the app until the credit hits your account?

    • zzyss on 23/09/2016 - 08:56

      How would Amex know if you've deleted the app? Go right ahead, I say.

  • bluesky on 23/09/2016 - 00:26
    +6

    Tried Android Pay for the first time today. Yay! :-)

    Puzzled why it did not work at first. As it turned out, in addition to turning on the NFC, there is also the "Tap and Pay" setting within, which has to be set to "Android Pay". Unbeknownst to me, it was set to the Commonwealth Bank. Probably a setting added when I installed the Commonwealth Bank app way before. This cause Android Pay not to work, until it was changed back. In case someone has the same issue.

      When this happens, most likely you can cancel, and try again. A similar thing happened to me in Woolworths (device printed the prompt to insert card). So I cancelled, tried again, and it succeeded.
