  Ok. Expect the following discussions to start:
  1. Purchasing gift cards and Visa gift cards are not allowed - But we know from XP that Amex has a very hard if not impossible way to tell if what you bought
  2. HN will probably start to put up signs saying you cannot buy GC of any sort with Amex (trend in the last year or so) - So do it early before the HN stores wake up to it. Try regional stores in particular
  3. You cannot buy Apple products - but you can get GCs to do it
  4. Can't think of one right now but I'm sure there are many more
  - +unity1 on 06/11/2017 - 08:06 +2 votes
    
    The signs I have seen are just warnings that gift cards aren’t included in the Amex Promotion. I doubt they’d refuse you a sale just because you want to pay by AMEX. I have never been refused.
    - +Mirage on 06/11/2017 - 08:20
      
      If they won’t refuse it they will most certainly ask you to pay like $50 AmEx multiple cards handling fee like they did last year

      During the last promo I was refused at the Oxley and Mt Gravatt stores, trying to buy vPays with my AMEXes.
      
      Not just "they're excluded from the promo" (that's how it started) but "we've been explicitly told not to let people pay for these with AMEXes".

    FYI I just bought (Monday 6 Nov 12.30pm) 7 x $500 PrePaid Visa Gift Cards at the Sunshine, VIC HN. I assume they have not been told to stop this from happening yet. I received email on all purchases. Just waiting for the $100 cashback now.
    
    Each vPay card cost me $5.95 each.

  T&Cs state that Apple is excluded from this offer:
  
  Excludes purchases of AEG, Apple, Asko, De Dietrich, Elica, Fagor, Falcon, Gaggenau, Miele, NEFF and St George products.
  
  And before you ask, the full T&Cs also state that this offer exclude the purchase of gift cards, store credit or vouchers.
  - +ts13 on 06/11/2017 - 04:22

      No idea, I'm just the messenger. Do Amex or HN have a history of not applying exclusions?
      
      Happy for someone to test it out and let us know if exclusions aren't being enforced for this offer.

      @easternculture: just confirming. Are you saying if I have one account and 2 additional. Cardholders we would usually all be able to register for this offer. Therefore 3 offers on the one account?
      
      If not and you need actual separate accounts. Which of the fee free Amex cards do you recommend? As I've noticed not all cards receive the same offers. Eg my Amex platinum edge often doesn't receive the same offers my Amex Qantas ultimate card does?

Does anyone know if this would work on gift cards? Last time it did.
- demoiree on 06/11/2017 - 08:26
  
  It will work given that the store let you buy gift cards with amex , I anticipate they still stick up the no amex gift card signs from previous experience
- +puffinfresh on 06/11/2017 - 08:27
  
  Technically it will work, but the cashier may not allow it or your online transaction may be declined. Get in quick before they have time to train their staff to reject Amex as payment for gift cards.
  - proudwanderer on 06/11/2017 - 14:38 +3 votes
    How can they technically NOT ALLOW you to use AMEX. They are "assuming" you have registered for the AMEX deal - but there is no way for them to know for sure.
    
    For all intents and purposes, the following conditions may be true:
    
    You want to buy a gift card,
    
    You did not register for the cashback deal, and
    
    AMEX is your one and only credit card and you have no other credit cards to use other than it.
    
    So the staff are instructed to NOT sell you a gift card if you are paying with AMEX, and if you purchase gift cards online they cancel your order just because you paid with AMEX?
    
    That just sounds like dodgy policy to me, for it is impossible for them to ascertain that you are buying the gift card with the purpose of getting the cashback (even though we know you are).
    - +T-man on 06/11/2017 - 15:05
      
      Yes, they did last time, not allowed me to pay for the gift cards by Amex and since then I've never visited HN again, never bother with any HN offers.
    - proudwanderer on 06/11/2017 - 15:13 +1 vote
      
      @T-man: What if you said to them —> "I did not register for any cashback deal whatsoever, and this is my one and only credit card that I use daily in my life"?
      
      How will they then be able to rebut you? They have no proof, and can never prove whether or not you are lying. So do they just simply deny you your rights of being a "consumer" and being able to purchase a gift card with your credit card (regardless if it was AMEX or otherwise)?

  Ask a friend who has an existing Amex card to refer you (so they can get the referral bonus - 30k QFF points.) This card used to give 100,000 QFF points, but now only gives 65,000 QFF.
  
  As long as you have "a personal or household gross (pre-tax) annual income of $65,000 or more", you will be eligible for the card. Hopefully the 100k QFF offer comes back next year.
  
  You may also be interested in getting supplementary cards so you can use same Amex deals multiple times.
