  • Sweetnsour on 14/11/2017 - 06:17

    Amex really wants us to spend money. So many offers to keep up to date with. Hard to keep up!

    Wake up to coffee and another offer to enrol!

  • chillybags on 14/11/2017 - 07:13

    I signed up a supplementary card on my account last week (velocity platinum) activated on the weekend and made a couple of purchases with it. Can’t see any offers in the account though. Any tips? Does it take time once activated for offers to shop up or do only certain offers/certain cards work on supplementary?

    Does anyone know if Harris scarf sell non Harris scarf giftcards?

    • t25 on 14/11/2017 - 08:32

      This would be nice to know as well

    • JIMB0 on 14/11/2017 - 11:17

      I checked about 18 months ago and they only had their own gift cards.

    • danielh on 21/11/2017 - 15:01
      +3

      They do. I just came from the Geelong store and saw $50 and $100 VISA Prepaid gift cards. As well as Village, Rebel, Hoyts, Apple and the normal Harris Scarfe ones.

      The Visa Prepaid one costs $5.95 to get so should be taken into consideration when buying this.

      I'll go later this afternoon to see how they react to my buying 2 x $100 and 1 x $50 VISA prepaid gift card in one transaction via my four Amex cards.

      Going to be interesting to try. Worst case I'll just take a $5.95 hit per card and get 4 x $100 ones then transfer the cash to my DraftStars account to cash it out. [Yes, it works with Visa Prepaid].

      Alternatively I could get a $100 GC and a $20 iTunes voucher and pay the $5.95 GC fee (x2 sets as I have 4 registered Amex). Still working out the best balance to max my benefit. Having a sale that finishes today does not hurt either. :-)

      • MathNerd on 21/11/2017 - 15:43

        Oooh that's interesting. I hope my local HS has this too, I'll be going nuts on the iTunes (I assume this is what you meant by "Apple"?) and Village cards :) Can never have enough iTunes GCs to load into iTunes to fund Netflix, or Village GCs to use with Telstra Thanks for the movies :)

      • danielh on 21/11/2017 - 15:57

        Just went in and got a $100 Visa Prepaid GC and a $20 iTunes card. I was NOT charged the $5.95 fee. (Put across two cards).

        I went back and got another 2 x $100 Visa Prepaid GC and was also not charged. (Put across two cards).

        Got emails for all four transactions from Amex.

        FYI, when the ladies commented that I was not charged $5.95 for the Gift Card, even though it says a $5.95 fee will be charged, another lady said that was ok and that the system said it was $0 and so allowed the process to go through.

        With this in mind, I would not bother getting any other sort of Gift Card and instead only get a $100 Visa Prepaid one assuming it is still fee free.

          @kerfuffle: Yeah but if you get the $100 Visa Prepaid gift card, you get the option to buy the iTunes card at another place when there may be a deal like the odd HN buy $20 get $20 free iTunes card deal that they used to have or those odd Woolworth 10-20% off deals.

        • kerfuffle on 22/11/2017 - 12:51

          @danielh: Very true, but kinda need the iTunes credit now haha

          Plus I'd rather use my AMEX at Woolies where I get three points per dollar ;)

          Edit: or go to Coles for the 15% off App Store and iTunes card deal I just saw. Excludes $20 cards though.

        • MathNerd on 25/11/2017 - 11:36

          Hey Daniel, just wondering whereabouts in the store you found these gift cards? I went yesterday to my local store (Cranbourne VIC) and all I saw was a small stand with HS gift cards, close to the register. Do I have to go towards the back of the store or something?

        • kerfuffle on 25/11/2017 - 11:58

          @MathNerd: They should be at the register. That's where I found the non-Harris Scarfe ones when I was at Top Ryde. The Harris Scarfe ones were at the top and the non-HS ones under them

        • MathNerd on 25/11/2017 - 12:01

          @kerfuffle: Ah, I see. Thanks for that info, I'll go there to the store again and have a harder look this time. Cheers again kerfuffle!

          @Hogg: that’s the beauty of the no fee prepaid Visa gift card. You can buy a $100 one knowing that you go above $60 for the Amex deal and then cash it out in your CrownBet or Draftstars or whatever account. You are not ‘losing’ money by purchasing a higher denomination.

        • Hogg on 26/11/2017 - 10:12

          [@danielh]

          Good point. I forgot that the activation fee was waived.

          Same selection at Southland Vic. Just bought Visa gift card for $100. Probably use it to purchase Woolworths gift card to save another $5.00. or if someone wants to buy EB games gf, they have $40 and a $20.

          Yeah the rack of GCs right next to the sales counter has only HS GCs. I even asked the girl behind the counter and she said to go to woolies or coles for the GCs we are looking for.

          Where will you go to get the other cards? Fountain gate HS is the closest I think

        • ChaseTheSun on 06/12/2017 - 13:20

          @MathNerd: yep its not automatic. I saw them scan the gc n then add the fee after.

        • MathNerd on 06/12/2017 - 14:07

          @ChaseTheSun: Ah fair enough. So the stores/employees must've got notification from Head Office/Managers to do this, as they would've noticed a surge of Visa GC purchases. How many AmEx cards did you do the split using?

        • danielh on 18/12/2017 - 13:14

          @nalumi5: Just do a normal withdrawal from CrownBet to your nominated account. I usually do that when I have won a few $100 and want to clear it back to just a small amount.
          I did not notice any strange rules about needing to bet first which would be strange and counter productive for them unless it is a specific. Bonus bet which is not considered cash in your account anyway.

        • buckster on 14/11/2017 - 10:06

          I think they're confused too - I did the same search you did and found that page, but also on the general FAQ page they write this:

          Can I pay with a credit card?

          Yes, we accept payments online with the following credit or debit cards: Visa, MasterCard and Harris Scarfe credit cards.

        • IanC on 14/11/2017 - 10:56

          Brisbane Chermside accepts Amex instore which this promotion applies to.

          Online is another matter.

          If you are refused instore just ring Amex and they will give a goodwill credit for the $20.

    • danielh on 14/11/2017 - 15:45

    • MathNerd on 14/11/2017 - 16:05

      Probably not, I think it goes through a third party payment processor which is excluded from the offer.

      EDIT: Just checked one of my previous app spends and yes, it goes through "The Aston Club" so it won't work with the offer.

    The multi brand offer includes Menulog, which is nice. $75 worth of food for $50 is tempting, and you can spread the $75 amongst multiple transactions!

    • MathNerd on 14/11/2017 - 12:06

      Yeah, that was extremely quick. The offer wasn't as good as well, and only 5,000 cards. Maybe people who intended on getting serious camera gear saved the offer so they get to save even if just a little?

      • mit on 14/11/2017 - 13:05

    Missed the Best for Less offer :(

      I went to the Liverpool store today for the first time in ages to take advantage of the offer. Dunno how anyone manages to buy underwear in there; what a mess!

        h ah ha. are they cheap and good quality undies? gosh i miss this deal. i need some new ones… any others good buy?

        • kerfuffle on 24/11/2017 - 21:46

          They certainly were cheap (managed to find a four pack of undies that were selling for $1 so I ended up having to grab more stuff to reach the $25 threshold) but dunno about good quality! (They weren't for me.)
