Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

New Amex cashback offers with retailers you may actually visit

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

If you had begun to think that the American Express statement credit deals were getting rather too eclectic (Plenish Cleanse?  Paper London?), the good news is that a new raft of deals was launched yesterday.

If you have an Amex-issued American Express card, you need to register by visiting your online account and clicking the ‘Offers’ tab at the bottom of the statement page.  You should see some or all of the following:

  • £10 off £50 spend at Shell
  • £10 off £65 spend at World Duty Free
  • £15 off £60 spend at Ocado
  • £5 off £20 spend at Boots
  • £10 off £50 spend at thetrainline.com
  • £10 off £50 spend at House of Fraser
  • £10 off £40 spend at Debenhams
  • £10 off £25 spend at Vue Cinemas
  • £5 off £10 spend at Caffe Nero
  • £10 off £100 spend at Heals
  • £20 off £100 spend at Thomas Pink
  • £50 off £250 spend at Moss Bros
  • £10 off £50 spend at Fat Face
  • £20 off £200 spend at Co-Op Electrical

Expiry dates vary but most are in June.  Some offers have a cap for how many cards can be registered so don’t delay – once registered, there is no rush to actually make the relevant expenditure.

Remember that these deals stack with any other offer you have.  As long as you charge the required amount – in one transaction – to the Amex card you registered then the cashback will be paid.

The World Duty Free offer, for example, will work just fine alongside the £5 off coupons that are available easily online.  Buying a gift card to use later also works OK.

These are offers are NOT currently showing on the cardmemberoffers.co.uk site.  If you don’t see the one you want on your statement page, keep checking back to cardmemberoffers as – if it does turn up (as they usually do) – you can register there.

If you have a Lloyds, MBNA or Barclays Amex card, you can register here.

    Boots do gift cards so 20 Pounds Nandos gift card bought earlier. Email received within minutes..

    • Jason says:

      Boots do quite a few. Bought 2 3v cards and had email straight away. Also pizza express GC’s
      3 other cards to use plus need some Amazon cards from shell.

  • IslandDweller says:

    Thanks for the alert on this. I was able to register (UK issued plat) using the iPad app, everything except Debenhams – which I never go in so not too upset.

  • RIcatti says:

    No Thomas Pink among Amex Connect offers (for Lloyds, MBNA cards) for me.

    But there is one in the Amex online account management (for Amex Plat).

  • jason says:

    These Amex offers have helped take our minds off today’s avios devaluation 🙂

  • Jordan D says:

    No Debenhams for me, but the Shell will be useful.

    Do note that things have changed – it is now capped not at how many have registered, but on the first ‘x’ many to save. So Raffles, there is something to be said of redeeming sooner rather than later.

    • Rob says:

      By ‘save’ I meant ‘register’, which is the same thing. When you actually do the spending is immaterial.

    • Werner says:

      Not sure that’s correct – I understand as the first x to save the offer to their cards…

  • Adam says:

    Boots and Co-op do 3v cards, bought £25 3v at boots yesterday -£5 back and 50 MR points for Co-op 3v card today to pay ebay fees & amazon purchase. 🙂

    • Jason says:

      Just bought 5 x £50 Amazon gc’s at shell 🙂
      Plus £10 GC at caffe Nero

  • Zoombie says:

    Not seeing any of these at all. Glitch or have they really all been used up?

    • Zoombie says:

      (this being for a British Airways American Express Premium Plus Card )

  • Jay says:

    Slightly off topic. Will I be able to refer any of my supplementary gold card holders for an actual Gold charge card ? My wife is already a supplementary card holder. Will I be able to refer her ?
