10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions - Page 2 - The Australian Frequent Flyer Online Community

opusman · 16th September 2008, 07:13 PM

I wonder if there's any limit to the value of the transactions or number of bonuses? My company has a merchant account, I could quite easily write a little script to put through 10000 one cent charges to my Amex. 5 million points for $100 anyone?

Perhaps I should scan the postcard it came on?

Hmm, wonder how far away the DJ Amex card is?

What they meant was the transaction count resets every calendar month.

Makes sense. My brain must be tired!

BTW, once again - thanks for posting!

Does this apply to only certain types of cards ?
I have the Rewards Maximiser, and Qantas American Express. Does this mean that say for every 20 woolworths transactions in a month they give an additional 10,000 points ?
I already use the cards pretty frequently, i.e. 40 - 50 times a month.
What's there to stop people from buying their shopping items one at a time. I admit this is a lot of effort and time wasted, but 10,000 points for every 20 transactions is pretty good. I think people could rack up a lot of points this way.

I tried signing up with my Qantas AMEX card but can't find where to enter the offercode... maybe it isn't for this card?

If this is a fairdinkum deal, I'm taking the weekend off to score some points.
The cheapest item I've found so far at Woollies is a box of matches at 75c.
Buying one at a time, means $15 per 10,000 points.
Or 280 purchases of 75 cent matches, for a total of $210 gets you 140,000 points, or enough for a RTW flight. Nice.
Anyone think of anything cheaper?
Wonder if you'd get blacklisted from Woolworths for doing this
