The American Express Platinum Card Targeted Offer

Ended — kept for reference

This page is my best effort to summarise the card's terms from the information I found. Read the bank's terms for full details, or contact the bank if you have questions.

I'd like to use my bonus for:

Can I get this?

This offer is only for invited customers.

Can I get this bonus if I have held a card before?

I have not checked the waiting period for this bonus.

See the waiting rules for every Australian bank →

What must I spend?

$5,000 within 90 days — about $1,667 per month.

Can I get the card?

I do not have a minimum income for this card.

Meeting the bonus rules does not mean the bank will approve your application. The bank must assess and approve the card separately.

How long is this available?

I do not have an end date for this offer.

The maths behind churn value

118,125 Qantas points at 1.6¢ a point − $1,450 in first-year fees. This is flight value, not cash. It assumes you earn the bonus and pay in full.

What this calculation assumes
  • You make the required purchases and the bonus is paid.
  • You pay the balance in full — any interest changes the outcome.
  • The required spend is ordinary planned spending, not extra cost.
  • You close the card before the next annual fee, or you decide keeping it is worth that fee.
