  “If you were very aggressive, you could ask to pay the bill over three or four cards, even for just two people. (A cash tip may help here!).”

  Raffles – you have clearly been out of the North for too long! You should try organising our team lunch/dinenrs. We are usually there for at least 10 minutes whilst the server run’s all the cards. Fairly usual i would say.

  Here is an interesting article for the ones who dont know which restaraunts to pick http://londonist.com/2014/10/london-restaurant-festival-is-back.php

  We have gone for Mash, Foxlow, Roux and afternoon tea at the Harlequin.

    I’d suggest Outlaw’s and Ametsa out of the festival menus, but I’m actually going to pick Outlaw’s and then Pied a Terre for its standard lunch menu.

  Does this offer apply to supplementary cards too? In the past others seem to have made it work, but I was unable to.

    I think (happy to be corrected if I’m wrong) that Amex-issued supplementary cards are OK but MBNA and Lloyds supplementary are not

      This is right – the card numbers need to be different in order to register a supplementary card.

  I’ve had a “PREMIER INN – Spend £100 or more and get £20 back” – don’t know if its targeted but could be worth people looking out for 🙂

    If it was properly targeted I doubt it would have gone to Platinum card holders, which it has 🙂

      I’ve also had a Ryanair offer £10 back when you make a booking, although doesn’t seem to mention a minimum spend. Some potentially good deals such as leeds to dublin – currently on sale for £9.99 – making you 1 pence profit?!

      • Rob says:

        That would work OK, definitely. There was no minimum spend for the Ryanair offer.

      I think I know what you’re getting at, but “low cost” options such as Ryanair and Premier Inn can still be surprisingly expensive. Every little helps.

  Registered last week. Went to London for the weekend. Spent about £30 each in 2 x locations – Tiger, Tiger & 5th Floor Waterstones – and by Saturday evening had an email from Amex confirming they would credit my account with £25. Great fun and worth it!

  I would be confident that 2 transactions in the same restaurant, even just minutes apart, will earn the statement credit. However for the purpose of playing it safe I would perhaps put forward two slightly different amounts. What D&D restaurants are taking part?

• Nick says:

  Tracking is super quick – you get a pretty much instantaneous email both for the first and second purchase, and this was with a Lloyds and MBNA Diamond Club card

  I would highly recommend going to more than one restaurant though, that’s the point of the festival, to try new places! So far I’ve been to Picture and Foxlow, and they’ve both been excellent.

  Despite what the website quoted says, I went into 4 D&D restaurants and 3 of them said they never sell gift cards, and the last one says they have sold out….
