Might the issue there be that technically Australians aren't able to join BAEC? Not that this is entirely an excuse given that these Premier cards are marketed to "global" customers -- I have Premier credit cards issued in the US, UK and Hong Kong (long story!). So surely not out of the realm of possibility for a non-Australian resident to have the card and a BAEC acct. The HK card allows transfers to BAEC, by the by, and at extremely attractive rates if you sign up for the right promotions.
