"Get $5 credit back on your statement when you register your eligible American Express Card and spend $10 or more at McDonald's or McCafé between 15 October 2012 - 31 October 2012."

T&C to make note of:
- Limited to the first 10,000 registrants.
- Limit of one $5 credit per Cardmember.
- Cardmembers who hold American Express Business Travel Accounts, Government Cards, Corporate Purchasing Cards or Corporate Cards, are not eligible to enter.
- Only transactions made on the Card you have registered are eligible. Supplementary Cards must be registered separately.

Not that I would ever use my credit card at McDonald's or eat there, its still a good deal. $5 credit is better than nothing.

        I really wish we could get meals to the same size as the USA for the same price.
        I always feel ripped off after spending $10+ on maccas and still feeling hungry afterwards :'(

        • cookie_lu on 19/10/2012 - 12:11

          I don't wish for that because the meat they use in USA are the lowest quality you can get, just to keep the price down! I'll rather have smaller quantity but better quality.

        • [Deactivated] on 22/10/2012 - 21:37

          He is talking about the fries and coke, and the overall cost. Meat does not come into it

        • R00D on 23/10/2012 - 21:58

          All food is considerably cheaper in the USA at the moment for reasons we know. Irrelevant. By the way, we don't need this junk in our diets at all, let alone bigger portions.

      You could buy like 3 salads and some water.
      To be fair the other fast food joints such as KFC/pizza(any)/Hungry Jacks are a lot worse. KFC even tries to put the drink on their menu for each combo as pepsi max to keep the kj count down.

          I bought a grundig digital radio with integrated rechargeable battery for $119 - by far not the cheapest digital radio around but wanted one with integrated battery so it would be easy to unplug and move around the house / outside. Got $81 left on the card - will probably go into the Adelaide CBD david jones and buy expensive chocolates or something (not being a true ozbargainer I know - should be going to david jones and buying reduced stuff or stuff on sale)

        • alwaysis on 21/10/2012 - 09:23

          Your DJs might have a cafe - the one in Westfield Garden City has decent ambience and pricing, and the food and coffee taste fine.

      • rmamila on 21/10/2012 - 12:34

        How do you get Amex Gold card ? Do you have to wait until they offer it. I've been using Amex Silver card for past 4 years and having more than 25k transactions every year in this card. Still no offers for them to upgrade.

        • alwaysis on 21/10/2012 - 14:41

          With the BMW Gold Amex card there is no minimum spend/limit etc to get to gold - you get gold straight away. I have a silver amex as well through CBA and have never had an offer to upgrade

    I have an idea.. Hang out at Maccas all day and spin some story to customers as they walk in that you have forgotten you PIN or that you have no cash, but you have an AMEX. Then offer to pay for there meals on your AMEX in exchange for the cash? ;)You would clean up during the lunch hour… you would need the front of Myers though lol

      "Limit of one $5 credit per Cardmember"

      • cynix on 18/10/2012 - 18:50

        American Express reserves the right to limit one $5 statement credit per Cardmember.

        The terms do not specify under what conditions will they exercise this right.

        • Wampus on 19/10/2012 - 19:23

    • browser on 18/10/2012 - 20:20

      Haven't been to a McDonalds that doesn't accept AMEX.

      I use AMEX at McDonalds all the time, whatever the amount, who cares? Just swipe and press enter, no PIN and no signature, faster than cash and no need to muck around with loose changes.

      • illumination on 20/10/2012 - 18:49

        It seems like I've always just assumed they don't accept AMEX because the logo doesn't appear on EFTPOS machine. I asked them and they do accept it!

      They've completely changed their mounts since to prevent it from being easily removed (most big retailers have done so too). They're now in a metal fixture that holds them in place compared to before when it was free and only had a a phone connector cord. As you can imagine, easily swapped.

        Flaw-

        The offer says:
        6. Supplementary Cards must be registered separately

        fine, but when trying to register my wife's supplementary card - the system refuses to do so - because the supplementary card has the same NUMBER as the primary card. The fact that we were registering a different name and different email address - made no difference to the registration system.

        • rmamila on 21/10/2012 - 12:36

          I too tried the same. Couldn't register my wife's card and it gave a message saying that this card is already registered. I used her name and her email for the next registration but it doesn't allow to go through. That condition is not logical and valid then.

  • saneo on 19/10/2012 - 09:11
