  Sweet so 4000-5500 = $25. 8000 = $50.

  Has anyone carefully read through the fine print and checked that you can cancel without penalty prior to being charged fees and after taking a free flight?

  Has anyone conformed this verbally with the credit card company?

  Feeling lazy to read the fine print but wanting to sign up :P

  Stupid question - for eligibility is it pre or post tax income?

  • 

    4znDvd on 21/06/2016 - 22:08

    I don't think it specifies.

    • 

      Wilburre on 22/06/2016 - 13:11

      turns out its pretax :)

  Just seen this in the terms:

  According to the conditions you must apply AND be approved by 28 June, but they say approval is 5-10 business days - does that mean then that if you applied in the last week or so you will be hit up with $149 fee if you aren't approved by tomorrow? Bit sketchy.

  "The American Express® Platinum Edge Credit Card will have a $0 introductory annual fee for the first year of Card Membership. After the first year, the annual fee for the Basic Card will be $149 p.a. Offer only available to new Platinum Edge Credit Card Members who apply and are approved by 28 June 2016. Card Members who currently hold or who have previously held any other Card product offered by American Express International (NZ), Inc in the preceding 12 month period are ineligible for this offer. There is no annual fee for up to 4 Supplementary Cards. "
