Mozo Review David Jones American Express Platinum Card Review
Last updated: 21 August 2018.
What's hot:
4 points per $1 spent at David Jones
3 points per $1 spent at major supermarkets and petrol stations
40,000 bonus points if you make 3 purchases outside David Jones in the first month
What's not:
$295 annual fee
Mozo snapshot:
For frequent shoppers of David Jones, the David Jones American Express Platinum Card comes with a whole lot of bonuses and perks, like priority appointments at David Jones Personal Shopping Suites, and 4 points per $1 spent at David Jones. Also, to help you kick off your reward points earning, you can earn 40,000 bonus points if you use your card at non David Jones locations 3 times in the first month.
Key features:
There are two options to choose from when you sign up for a David Jones American Express Platinum Card: Membership Rewards or Qantas Frequent Flyer. The main difference between the two is that the Qantas Frequent Flyer option lets you automatically convert your points earnt into Qantas Frequent Flyer Points.
While the David Jones American Express Platinum Card acts and works much like a regular rewards card, it’s huge advantage is that it provides unique rewards specifically for David Jones shoppers.
To kick it off, spending at David Jones will earn you a huge 4 points per $1 spent. But it’s not just more points you’ll receive, you’ll also get exclusive David Jones benefits, such as invitations to fashion events, priority delivery to your home for in-store purchases and complimentary alterations on select women’s and men’s apparel.
To sweeten the deal even further you’ll receive 3 points per $1 spent at major supermarkets and petrol stations.
Most non-David Jones purchases also earn 1 point for every dollar spent on the Membership Rewards option and 0.75 points per $1 spent with the Qantas Frequent Flyer option.
To help you dive in the deep end of points earning, you’ll also have the ability to earn 40,000 bonus points if you use your David Jones American Express Platinum Card at non-David Jones locations 3 times in the first month. You can redeem these points and all points earned on your card to purchase things online at davidjones.com, receive gift cards, book flights and more.
The card also comes with a number of other perks, such as an extra 90 days purchase protection, online fraud protection and up to four additional cardholders for free.
Who it's good for:
The obvious answer here is: people who frequently shop at David Jones and are interested in the exclusive benefits that this card awards, but anyone that usually uses their card when grocery shopping and buying petrol will find themselves racking up points rather quickly.
Any catches?
While certainly not the worst on the market by any means, the $295 annual fee is worth keeping in mind, so make sure you’ll get enough value out of the perks to justify the price tag.

How do we calculate these points?
How do we calculate the rewards?
To work out the "Rewards value minus fees" in our Rewards Revealer we:
calculate how many points you'd get each year,
figure out how many flights or gift cards or cashback credits you could get for those points,
work out what that's actually worth to you,
take off the annual fee you'd pay.
More details:
Our calculations are designed to help you compare the value of different rewards schemes. To do this, we've looked at earning a one-way Sydney-Melbourne flight excluding taxes and charges, a return Sydney-London flight excluding taxes and charges, a $100 shopping Gift Card and $100 cashback. Most cards will also offer other rewards, which may be worth more or less than the ones we've shown.
We have made no allowance for bonus points for using your card at specific merchants, introductory offers or special offers. We have not assigned any value to instant discounts, insurances, ticketing and concierge services or other such benefits.
Rewards value calculations do not take credit card interest into account. If you do not pay off your card each month you may be better off looking for a card based on interest rates than on the value of rewards.
In products that have more than one card, a different mix of spend between American Express / Visa / Mastercard will give different results. Mozo's Rewards Revealer lets you choose the mix based on the way you would use such a product, and gives you tailored results.
We assume flights purchased with airline points are 'classic' or 'reward' economy seats with restricted seat availability. 'Any seat' rewards will probably cost more.
To compare the value of flight rewards, we sample online retail flight prices once a quarter based on the average price on a Wednesday 3 months in advance but outside NSW school holidays. For domestic flights we take the lowest available fare from each flight on that day from Qantas Red e-deal, Virgin Australia Saver including baggage and Jetstar Starter including baggage. We calculate the average price excluding taxes and surcharges for each airline, and also the average across all airlines (which we use when rewards are travel agent vouchers). For international flights, we take the lowest available fares on that same Wednesday from each of Qantas, Emirates, Malaysian, Etihad, Singapore, Cathay Pacific and Thai, assuming a return flight 2 weeks later, calculate the average price before taxes and surcharges and use this as our assumed cost of a flight on any airline.
Shopping rewards are based on $100 gift cards from a major national department store.
We make every effort to ensure our calculations are correct and up to date but make no guarantees.
