I'm on Explorer card and just noticed this when I'm exploring (pun intended) what to do before the changes

15% more means $8.52 credit for 1000 points, usually $7.41
will be reduced to $5 for 1000 points by mid April

Might be useful if you're like me, not having an option to convert points to business class flights when you have kids following you everywhere

Not sure about end date, so act fast

Please let me know if this is advertised somewhere and I'll update the post

Update: according to some members this is targeted, so check yours
Update2: looks like only applied to Woolworths transactions. Updated title

    Cash out your points as soon as possible. Amex are devaluing their points.

    I traded my points for 5 nights stay at a star hotel in melbourne :)

    • Some Human on 12/02/2019 - 10:30

      Thanks, didn’t realize.

    • MitchyD1989 on 12/02/2019 - 10:43

      Waiting until just before the 15th April (devaluation date) in case there's any bonuses before then. If not, I'll just transfer the day before.

      • jdogg on 12/02/2019 - 11:42

        Yeah me too

    • gembel on 12/02/2019 - 11:33

      after April amex cards are shit then?

      • MitchyD1989 on 12/02/2019 - 11:57

        Pretty much. Some good perks, but I'm likely going to cancel my Platinum Edge card and just stick with the Velocity Escape as it will now earn more Velocity points for me overall (and for no annual fee).

        • No ONE on 12/02/2019 - 17:57

          stick with the Velocity Escape

          Isn't AMEX Essential better option where you earn 1 point per $1 spend (whereas you earn 0.75 point power $1 spend with escape).

          • MitchyD1989 on 13/02/2019 - 09:18

            @No ONE: I transfer all my points to Velocity - the new transfer rates mean the Amex Essential would earn me 0.5 Velocity points per $1 spent, so in my case it's better to stick with the Velocity Escape.

      • Baghern on 12/02/2019 - 18:51

        yeh, still can get some value out of it, just not worth the time spent for me

  • Niko123456 on 12/02/2019 - 10:30

    I have seen this on purchases that were made when I used Google Pay

  • GundamZeta on 12/02/2019 - 10:34

    Only $8.52?

    they used to be 30% @ $9.1

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 12/02/2019 - 10:38

    Whats the best way to use 80k points at the moment?

  • ttkc on 12/02/2019 - 10:53

    I think it's targeted. Still showing $7.41/1000 points on my card.

    • djprima on 12/02/2019 - 10:55

      Thanks for this info, what card do you have?

  • Daff on 12/02/2019 - 10:58

    Huh, do I need to change cards? I'm getting $5/1000 on the David Jones Amex.

  • kirbycario on 12/02/2019 - 11:09

    I have the same, but its only for Woolworths transactions. Are you sure its not only a woolies promo?

    • djprima on 12/02/2019 - 11:12

      No, I've just applied my points to credit various transactions which are not woolies

      • kirbycario on 12/02/2019 - 11:15

        maybe its targeted then

    • tellhimhesdreaming on 12/02/2019 - 11:17

      Same for me - only on Woolies - Amex Explorer for me

      • djprima on 12/02/2019 - 11:20

        Wondering how is that being shown on the page, so you're only able to get the 15% offer only for woolies transactions?

        • tellhimhesdreaming on 12/02/2019 - 11:44

          Correct, everyday spend is 1000 pts for $7.41, woolies is 1000 pts for $8.52

  • sunyuanxin on 12/02/2019 - 11:17
    +1

    mine is 10,000 points for $50

    • Daff on 12/02/2019 - 11:54

      Same for me (David Jones amex), but David Jones gift cards are 13,300 points for $100. I hadn't realised the difference between that and points for credit.

      • kerfuffle on 13/02/2019 - 15:00

        David Jones gift cards are 13,300 points for $100

        Changing from April 15 to 15 000 points for a $100 DJs Gift Card

  • jdogg on 12/02/2019 - 12:11

    I'm getting 13,500 points for a $100 credit, same as a westfield gift card. Is this the normal rate or bonus included?

    • bluesky on 13/02/2019 - 15:18
      +1

      This is normal rate - $7.41/1000pts.

  • FlatulentFrank on 12/02/2019 - 12:43

    only on Woolies - Amex Explorer for me

    • Baghern on 12/02/2019 - 18:53

      My mate has Amex Essential is there for him

  • bluesky on 12/02/2019 - 14:25

    Received this offer via email back in 12/01/19, with Subject : Pay with points and get 15% more value

    Email text:

    To help you make the most of summer, we’re giving you 15% more value when you use Select and Pay with Points1 for eligible purchases at Woolworths, Langton’s and Dan Murphy’s.

    Just make your purchases between 12 January and 15 February 2019 and pay off your transactions with points within 2 months of the it appearing on your Account to get the extra savings.

    Perhaps this is the same offer. But not sure if everyone's offer is same, or different wrt expiry date for purchases and stores.

    • djprima on 12/02/2019 - 15:35

      That's a slightly different promo, but might be related. For me the transactions eligible for this is my past purchases

  • No ONE on 12/02/2019 - 17:49

    I get this offer with woolworths all the time. Amex Essential.

  • goevencheaper on 12/02/2019 - 18:49

    I have used all my points by buying wish gift card on Cashrewards to get extra 5% off, turn out to be $9/1000 points ratio, not as good as 30% off, but still a good option for lazy people like me.

    • Baghern on 12/02/2019 - 18:58

      Nice, I did that
