American Express Points

I am sure this has been discussed before, but I cannot find any references by the way I am searching.

I need to spend $500+ in my amex card in the next week or so to get 15K Qantas points. Any gift cards or better options to buy to reach that number + score some extra savings? I checked the Cashrewards woolies gift cards but Amex is not accepted :/

Any ideas / suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!

    You can also prepay your phone bill, insurances, public transport cards, healthfund etc.

    The CR woolies card does accept Amex, it should redirect you to Woolworth page. I do it all the time

    • public transport cards

      The OP would have to buy at least two Opal cards as you can only have a maximum balance of $250, plus the maximum top-up amount in person is $120 (unless you can convince the assistant to do multiple top-ups in the one transaction)

      • Good info, It's only $500 needed to spend so he could split it up on a few of those ideas.

        I wonder if a Amex surcharge would added for Sydney's public transport card.

        I put $1k on my phone contract to hit Min spend

        • Depends where they top-up. The machines outside the stations don’t accept Amex (nor does auto top-up), but you can top up at many Woolies and not as many Coles with your Amex and not get surcharged. Newsagents may add a 50 cent-$2 surcharge (going by past Shop Smalls)

  • Just buy 5% off woolworths egift card.

  • The easiest way is a fully refundable hotel booking on a site like Agoda. Once you get your points get a refund.

    Umm.. I just bought $300 worth woolies e gift cards via cash rewards by using my AMEX!

  • Load up on Opal cards…

    Might want to do this asap, as some transaction might stay in pending past your requirement date

    That is if its not completed, they might not count it.

    I assume you already are involved in the Vogue discounts

  • Does the 3 points still work with the 5% Cashrewards or not?

  • Thank you guys, I can confirm you can pay with Amex. The confusion came from first payment page having the Mastercard, Visa and a couple more logos, but later on you can use it through SafeKey! Cheers!

  • anyone get zurich amex ezilife insurance offer of 5000k points on their explorer or platinum cards? just wondering how long you need to keep the policy to get the points?
