Shit, I was literally approved for the westpac last week! Oh well, 20k down the drain. Better luck next time…
It’s worth activating anyway as sometimes you still end up getting the bonus points.
Yes, I did. Maybe their system sucks and it will magically work anyway.
Not that it matters, as a family of four we get past the spend limit for new cards in a month, so I can probably open a new one within the offer period. Never had an AmEx, maybe time to try it.
