  The difference with the trip advisor £5 credit this year compared with last year is that the terms and conditions state that it is £5 per trip advisor account thereby ruling out multiple entries with different Amex cards like I could do last year. Nothing to stop opening a few new trip advisor accounts with different email accounts though

  Sorry where do you register for the First Great Western trains?

  It pops with the offer of the achica spend £25 twice.

  Also do you know which retailers are included, i received an email saying I am half way through but I havent had any shopping done on the ones mentioned.

  Hi i registered a couple o cards yesterday but got no email from amex, does it mean that the offer was not activated?

  Can you register both a primary Amex card and a secondary Amex card linked to the same Amex account as the primary? If so, do they both count?

    Only primary cards count, it says in the T&Cs that you can’t use a supp card and if you open the supp card on the user’s amex account you should see that the offer doesn’t even show confirming the above.

  Anybody know if the FGW £50 ticket purchases must be done in a single transaction to trigger the bonus? Some of the other offers stipulate a single transaction, others, like FGW, don’t, and it says nothing about it in the T&C’s. Unless you’re travelling pretty far or short notice, £50 is quite a high train ticket value – don’t think I’ve ever paid more than £45 for 2 long tickets ages ago. Generally I spend less than £12 a time on train tickets, but may hit £50 over the next few months if cummulative.

    Gut feeling is single transaction, only once has such an offer been cumulative

  How long does it take to see the credit for a Trip Advisor review in general?

  I signed up with an Amex Amex card plus Barclays Amex and Lloyds Amex and haven’t seen any credits triggered yet. All the offers I’ve done recently have been really slow to credit, very different from the lightning speed credits I used to get on these offers.

    Don’t hold your breath, Jo, I’ve also found they are taking way longer than normal to post the Tripadvisor credits. I’ve been waiting 8 days for an MBNA card credit and 6 days for an Amex one. My emails confirming the first reviews also haven’t arrived consistently, so it just doesn’t seem like as slick an operation as usual.

      I got an email confirming my Tripadvisor review had been published and I’d get £5 credit on my MBNA Virgin card on August 4th but nothing so far, opened another account a week later and linked it to my AMEX Barclaycard, did a review and the £5 appeared a few days later.
