  My memory is a bit vague but I’m fairly sure Next and a couple of other fashion retailers (maybe some others that don’t sell phones). I got the impression that it was definitely a temporary, short-term thing. I used the 4s offer for iTunes cards and as a way of getting memory cards for a price comparable to Amazon. I also went down the credit note route as it gave me a way of spending exactly the right amount to trigger the offer.

    Thanks. Was this recently? I’ll check a few local stores at the weekend. I actually need a new phone, however I find there is a strong mark up at CPW vs Amazon etc. If I can exchange for more useful gift vouchers that would be ideal.

      It must been around January/February this year. I asked about CPW gift cards and when I explained what I was doing it prompted the sales assistant to say that they might have some non-CPW left out in the stockroom.

  Amazon (using a UK seller fulfilled by amazon to avoid scammers and 1 month shipping times) is still £20 cheaper than Dixons Travel, even after 2 amex statement credits of £10, and assuming a 100% avios bonus using 2 LHR rewards cards!

  (I called up and they said they could split purchases onto 2 cards, which would allow you to get 2x LHR rewards bonuses if your item is the correct price)

    Really? I find Dixons travel are very competitive when you talk to them.

    Apple TV and headphones are very competitive there even without having to haggle.

  For all three of my Amex cards: There are currently no new offers available for this Card. 🙁

  Remember that the statement credit might, in turn, knock the equivalent amount of Membership Rewards points off your account.
  You can fix this with a message to customer services, but be aware that the issue may exist.

  I had a great time in Dixons T5 yesterday. I did, as it happens, want to get an iPad Air, so I got the Heathrow Rewards bonus, and I split the purchase between two Amex cards, getting £20 off in total. But then I discovered there was a promotion which allowed me to get a cover and some other accessories at 20% off – so I quickly registered a third Amex card and took advantage of that with another £10 off, and the further reduced prices. And then they said that for buying the iPad I could purchase Monster noise/cancelling headphones with £70 of the list price of £200, so registered a fourth (!) Amex and did so. They will either make a great Christmas present or hit eBay very soon (and I can see I’ll more than make my money back if I do that).

      Main Cardholders only? I have not seen that before, hopefully this isn’t the case with the Small Shop promo next weekend.

    I’m having that! Will sign up the wifes card as well and split the bill!

      Pizza Express are serious discounters. It’s not difficult to get 2-4-1 (2nd main course ‘free’) or 2nd main course for £5, Orange Wednesdays, etc. I forgot to mention that such deals don’t appear to be excluded, so long as the minimum charge is £30.

        They can’t be excluded, because Amex will automatically apply the credit anyway!
