Yes not getting a lot of traction with the AGC traders. But i think the market price is ~95 atm. Perhaps thinking of waiting till next month (end of Phase 2 / beginning of Phase 3 to further assess).
The other safer alternative I feel is to warehouse PNS Coupon - I think you can (hopefully) get ~96 during CNY.
What is the highest LT value though... AG? Fortress? Broadway? Think for safety, can always sell Manning/Wellcome/ParkNShop @ ~945... but obviously want to target closer to 96 to make it work

Broadway 969 for literally a day
Apple >98 for about three weeks late October-mid November. Last year we had the Note7s literally blowing up. This year we've iPhone 8s but they may be coming out in volume later than last year.
PK and Broadway good for HSBC 6X Home and SCB 5% cash rebate promos
Apple for online and general promos but it becomes a capital intensive game around this time period every year.

yeah I would like to see how the AAPL GC fare this year... fingers crossed! the wildcard is the HK Apple Store prohibiting returns for apple products, which could dampen demand by traders... we shall see...

The offer for Fubon looks pretty good for the low spend.
But the deal seems to be 50K sign-up points after $2,800 spend + 10K bonus for using the "online form". 60K points x 1AM/15points = 4,000AM
(Plus a few hundred for the $2,800 spend, depending on what you spend it on)
How do you get the 5,000AM?
