We all heard of the impending increase for foreign currency conversion fees on Amex cards with effect from 01 Mar 2020. Just to sweeten things up, Amex has launched offers to cardmembers offering bonus miles for overseas spend from now until 31 Mar 2020. These offers seem to be targeted, and here are two offers that I’ve been targeted for:
Amex Platinum Charge – 3.75 mpd bonus
For this offer, eligible cardmembers will enjoy a bonus of 3.75 mpd on the first S$1000 of foreign currency spend. This brings the total miles earn rate to 4.53 mpd! Be sure to register for this offer, as only the first 2500 cards successfully registered for this offer can enjoy the bonus miles.
KrisFlyer Ascend – 2 mpd bonus
For this offer, eligible cardmembers will enjoy a bonus of 2 mpd on the first S$500 of foreign currency spend. This brings the total miles earn rate to 3.2 mpd! You must also register for this offer, as only the first 8000 cards successfully registered for this offer can enjoy the bonus miles.
Bottom line, act fast! Register your Amex cards for these offers and earn more miles from your foreign currency spend!
