Roe Jogan on AmEx Platinum Charge Card by Referral: 275,000 Rewards Points ($5,000 Spend in 3 Months), $450 Travel Credit, $1,450 Annual Fee

Maybe have a look at the cards benefit page? Business version doesn't come with the same credits (e.g. dining/travel/amazon). So no the…

Previously this was fine, but from memory the T&Cs no longer treat them as separate - so probably not worth risking it. We love the…

Step down would be Oscar Hunt and SuitShop. SuitSupply "custom", aka MTM has been pretty good imo, but comes down to your "tailor"/fitter.

For us the Amex deals have actually been the main boon - just recently 15% cashback on various fine diners (e.g. Quay), credits for Mr…

Depends on what you value? For us, we would always convert ours to airlines - given what a point is worth in J/F.

Can confirm the above, I was a supp card on my wife's account before applying for my own and received the 275k.

Arrived within 2 business days in Sydney - though one thing to keep in mind is your initial spend amount may not be as big.

Yep, applied on my wife's link and was previously a supp - bonus points creditted.

Mine was basically automatic when I used my wife's link - didn't need to submit any documents either, which I found a bit odd.

Walnuts on AmEx Platinum Charge Card: 200,000 Bonus Membership Rewards Points, $450 Travel Credit, $5,000 Spend, $1,450 Annual Fee

Should still be 275k, maybe try a different browser? You'll probably need to cycle through until you hit the right link.

Yup can confirm my better half's referral is at 275k, so it's more than the 200k mentioned in the title.

I've had zero luck with a refund, after receiving a bike with bent spokes and a dodgy brake - still trying to resolve it after weeks.

The prices after the 40% look higher than what we paid a couple of years back for a handful of items I've just checked, that's a lot of…

Thing is, you seem to be under the impression I'm concerned about the connection? The use of the same user name/profile is by design?

Might be worth crediting where this was from, unless you happened to look up the exact same scores in the same order :) Who is D(DS)?
