New Amex ‘£10 back on £35 Amazon spend’ deal – were you targetted?

Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

Last night, many of us received emails from American Express advertising another cashback deal with Amazon.

You will receive £10 back if you spend £35 on amazon.co.uk before the end of July.

American Express has gone to great lengths to ensure that, this time, Head for Points readers do not take all of the 15,000 registration spots!

You can only register if you received the email. Even then, you can only register the American Express card which is mentioned in the email. In my case, it was my very rarely used SPG Amex.

If you did receive the email, register ASAP by clicking the button in the message. Those 15,000 registration spots will not last long.

Remember that you do not need to buy anything now. The easiest thing to do is to buy a £35 Amazon gift card and add the credit to your Amazon account for later in the year. That is what I did last time with the three Amex cards I registered.

The process is very simple and only takes a few minutes:

Step 1: Go to the Amazon UK gift card store here and order a £35 gift voucher, to be emailed to yourself

Step 2: Remember to pay with the American Express card which you registered for this offer

Step 3: When you e-gift card arrives, there is a link in it. Click on it and the £35 credit will be automatically deposited into your Amazon account.

Step 4: At roughly the same time as the e-gift card arrives, you will receive an email from American Express confirming that your £10 cashback has tracked.

The credit will sit indefinitely on your Amazon account and will be applied automatically towards future orders.

The Amazon links above include our affiliate details, and Head for Points will receive a small referral commission on anything you buy. If you intend to buy some ‘real stuff’ instead of a gift card, our link to the Amazon UK home page is here. Thank you for your support.

I got the email on my free BA card, I missed the last set of Amazon offers as I didn’t read about it until after it had all ended, used your affiliate to buy a £35 gift voucher.

I got the offer on my new gold amex on Friday and used it then. No email confirmation yet. The one day I didn’t pick up on my HFP email immediately, I missed the last Amazon promotion.

  I have also bought the Amazon gift card but no email from Amex confirming it has tracked.

I had this offer via my Spg Amex which I use regularly. Clicked the link to register for the offer. Strangely the offer did not appear in my saved offers section. Undeterred I claimed last night via headforpoints link. No email although I can see the payment is still pending. Fingers crossed!

We were not targetted this time.

I have a question about the Post Office £5 credit on min £10 spend. I registered 4 cards and used them all at the Post Office. All 4 show up as purchases but only 2 credits show. I suspect the 2 missing credits are from purchases using contactless cards.

Does anybody have a convenient method of retroclaimng, e.g. by e-mail? Thanks.

  My credits from contactless payments ar PO did track fine but they took a few days longer than chip and pin payments.
  
  I also never got the confirmation email, but the credit did arrive after about a week.

Thanks very much for the advice on missing credits. I’ll phone.

Sure, it’s only £5 a go and my time is worth more, but what are we here for? 🙂 Two phone calls must be worth a try.

    The emails are more hit than miss but there certainly are misses, you still get the credit.
