  Cheers. Registered and paid my NIC bill with the Lloyds Amex! It’s showing in my Gold card offers but not BAPP… How odd.

  Our local post office is within a One Stop convenience store and it hasn’t triggered the acknowledgement email when I spent the £10 – it might be that they share a payment system with the shop and that it only works with standalone Post Office branches…

  • Lionel says:

    You spent the £10 on groceries lol

    Has to be PO counter products

    • Mark says:

      1 Jun1 June 13:00

      No I spent it on postage and stamps at a post office counter.
      “Lol.”

      • Lionel says:

        1 Jun1 June 13:05

        Well your theory is incorrect lol

        My PO is in a Costcutter & it worked fine this morning x 2 😉

          Thanks for the relevant reply this time – good to know 😉

          You can check the list of PO stores on the offer website, AMEX are usually very good at issuing ex Gratia credits when things do not post. I had this several times during the “small shop £5” campaign last year

    I get an ‘invitation only’ message.

    • Jon says:

      1 Jun1 June 15:58

      It is meant to be for preferred rewards gold cards only. I had hoped it would work for everyone.

  • CardiffJock says:

    1 Jun1 June 16:01

    Thanks I was straight on that with my Preferred Rewards Gold. Do you know if it will work for Supplementary card holders, as my wife is supplementary holder on this account (and card has different number…)?

    Thx

    • Jon says:

      1 Jun1 June 16:03

      Cant hurt to try

      • CardiffJock says:

        1 Jun1 June 16:15

        No dice with the sup card, got the ‘Invitation Only’ message on that one. Thanks for the heads up 🙂

    • Lionel says:

      1 Jun1 June 16:17

      Doesn’t work for our supplementary Gold

      • Lionel says:

        1 Jun1 June 17:16

        Cracking hotel deal!

        I take it on my flight above I’d also get nearly 1000 + 106 = 1100 Avios.

        Probably worth another tenner off.

        One way to take on the cheapo carriers 🙂

  • Rob says:

    1 Jun1 June 16:39

    Gold only

    • Matthew says:

      1 Jun1 June 17:45

      Isn’t there normally a Platinum version of this?! Hope so for all that fee I’m paying!

  • James67 says:

    1 Jun1 June 19:42

    Presumably we just have to book by 30th June but can stay or fly after that?

    • Rob says:

      1 Jun1 June 21:25

      Yes, just need to get the charge processed by the 30th

• Lionel says:

  1 Jun1 June 16:11

  I’ve got 5 on mine but 4 are useless.

  Other people seem to be getting 12% on Shell which would be good

• Lionel says:

  1 Jun1 June 18:30

  I shouldn’t hang about on the free £50 for Gold cardholders (travel) – there are only 5000 up for grabs.

  Too good to be true, really. (See earlier comments here).

  A genuine free £50 for virtually all of us 🙂

  • polly says:

    Let’s hope the plat card holders get our offer later this week. It’s a really good one. Got our CPH raddisson down to £58 for our overnight in October. Just need the plat offer now for night on the way back!

    • Lionel says:

      1 Jun1 June 19:35

      Yep. Luckily it has gone down like a lead balloon on the people’s deals site so not much competition from there. The users don’t get it/ appreciate it.

      I get the impression Amex marketing doods watch registration rates then roll out deals a bit more widely when it looks like they won’t hit capacity very soon.

      Might just be a window for supps though I guess plats would be higher up the pecking order. They (plats) should have been higher in the first place, I guess – makes me think maybe there’s hope yet for supps as maybe thinking is plats are catered for well enough already and no need for them to get every deal first if at all.

    • Lionel says:

      1 Jun1 June 19:40

      CPH Radisson £58 sounds a bit like £100+ off not £50 off

      • Polly says:

        1 Jun1 June 20:09

        Basic room! But we have status with our plat cards which will give us an upgrade. Def a bargain!

        • Lionel says:

          1 Jun1 June 20:47

          Sounds good.

          Is there a place for him & her to have separate Gold cards, given the deals? Ie x2, no supp.

          Is there a place to enrol a few kids/ the dog as supps, given the deals?

          I’m certainly reconsidering cancelling, waiting 6 months, re-applying. The deals are too good to miss.

        • Polly says:

          1 Jun1 June 21:11

          We wish, we refer each other each year for plat, so always one main plus supp, and our daughter gets a gold every 20/12 sadly, holds it for a year, then cancels, then applies after 8/12. Usual pattern on this site. So answer is no, unfortunately. Or you both hold it for a year, etc. etc

  With the Amex deal, I’m looking at a £200 hotel booking. Any chance do you think of splitting it across my card and my wife’s card to get £100 off?

  • JQ says:

    1 Jun1 June 22:01

    Not unless it’s £100 per night for 2 nights

    • Waribai says:

      1 Jun1 June 22:33

      No…it’s £200 per night but I thought they might split it if I phoned them up!

      • Lionel says:

        1 Jun1 June 22:41

        It might work as I don’t think there’s the slightest chance the Amex machine does anything but recognise a qualifying transaction over £100.

        x 2

  Bought a £10 One4all giftcard (which already triggered my £5) but I have currently got a zero balance.

  Was planning to buy a £10 Amazon voucher.

  Apparently you need to wait 24 hours for the balance to show.

  • mark2 says:

    2 Jun2 June 13:31

    I bought two yesterday and 25 hours later they still don’t work.
    Will keep trying, and hold off on the other cards.

    • Lionel says:

      2 Jun2 June 14:20

      Bit odd but the PO is clearly beyond reproach etc

      Also the fact that their website doesn’t seem to mention 24 hrs wait before activation…

      Got my receipt in any case.

      • Lionel says:

        3 Jun3 June 07:48

        My £10 balance was there this morning.

        FAILED in buying a £10 Amazon giftcard.

        SUCCEEDED in buying a £9.01 giftcard.

        FAILED in buying a 98p giftcard.

        Still showing a 99p balance, not sure what the issue is. (I thought the 99p transaction charge would be applied to my £9.01 purchase but this does not seem to be the case.)

        • Lionel says:

          3 Jun3 June 08:00

          Very odd, after several failed transactions, now my 99p balance was fine to buy another giftcard.

          Reported elsewhere that you can phone up Amex and get supps manually added for the Post Office offer.

        • Rob says:

          3 Jun3 June 09:04

          Amazon puts a 99p temporary charge on your card as a fraud measure. After a week it will fall away.

        • Rob says:

          5 Jun5 June 08:50

          That works fine, I did it last year to empty the last £5 on a one4all.
