Earning 4 points per dollar spend (Altitude points redeemable @2:1 for QF FF miles) until October, when it reverts to 3 points per dollar. Also redeemable for NZ & Malaysian miles.
How would you rate this compared with the Amex plat CC, for a smallish ($10-20k) annual spend? (Will any third-party Amex CC issuers be able to match the Amex Qantas flight offer?
)

I don't leave home without it (my Altitude card) - and I take an AX card as well.

Has anyone else experienced any problems with the online access with the Platinum Amex Credit card?
Rang them few days ago, gave me the impression it was only a problem with the plat credit card, and they are working on it. Still not working this morning. No problem with my other amex card.

Only issue I have online is that I cannot get any sense out of the membership rewards sections (i.e. can't get how many reward points I've got). The pages to do with statements and recent transactions work fine for me.

I can't actually spot what has changed, but according to my statement clauses 1, 8, 13 and 14 of the flight offer conditions have changed.
Best guess looking at the table is that the Darwin/Melbourne pair has been removed (thanks to Jetstar)
