A batch of new ‘statement credit’ offers appeared on my American Express online account yesterday.
If you have a Gold, Platinum, BA, SPG, Nectar or other Amex-issued Amex card, you should have a look and register for any of those which interest you. Most have a cap on the number of participants.
You will find the offers on the online statement summary pages down at the bottom.
Not targetted? Don’t panic. In time, I would expect these offers to appear on the cardmemberoffers.co.uk site where any Amex-issued Amex card can be registered – some are already there.
Got a Lloyds, MBNA etc Amex? You can register at the Amex Connect site. Most of these offers are already showing there.
This is what has appeared across my cards:
Gap – spend £70, get £10 back
11,000 cards only / ends 21st December
House of Fraser – spend £100, get £10 back
18,000 cards only / ends 21st December
The Outnet – spend £250, get £50 back
25,000 cards only / ends 31st December
Heals – spend £100, get £10 back
25,000 cards only / ends 20th December
Fenwick / Bentalls – spend £80, get £10 back
25,000 cards only / ends 20th December
River Island – spend £60, get £10 back
20,000 cards only / ends 20th December
There are also more obscure deals for Appleyard, My First Years, Orlebar Brown (BA cards only, I think), Milli Millu, feelunique.com, Wynsors World of Shoes and Strand of Silk, plus a few older offers which have not yet expired – take a look online and see what you have.

About Head for Points
The house of fraser offer is getting watered down every time. It started out at £10 off £50. It used to be interesting but not any more
It actually started out as £25 back from a £50 spend, so yes very watered down.
Most of these credits are now watered down so much compared to what they were..
OT but does anyone know when the next amex to Virgin bonus may be? I can’t find any posts on here to see when the last one was.
Thanks
The last one was over 12-18 months ago. There is no way of knowing when or even if there will be a next one.
I’m pretty underwhelmed by this latest batch of offers. There is nothing that would make me go out of my way to spend money in any of these retailers. If I was planning to spend some money with one of them already I would happily take the discount. The £10 off £50 at HoF and others, was in my mind worth buying some gift vouchers for use in the future on as yet undecided purchases. As ever each to their own!!
I have also River Island – 60 spend, 10 back
To early for me, you of course already have it 😉
BBMI Visa 1 point/ £1 lol
Every Lidl newspaper (currently) has a £5 off £40 coupon.
Do Lidl accept Amex? Aldi don’t (not long started taking credit cards at all!) but not sure about Lidl as don’t go there often.
No, your only option to get points is an Amex + partner Visa/ MC card, I meant to type BMI Amex, the old issue cards are generous on the Visa points (long may it last!)
That’s no longer available but there are alternatives.
No Amex is not accepted, they only started with credit cards recently maybe a year or two ago.
I don’t get a chance to go to Lidl much either, my valet goes incognito!! In all seriousness they are leaps and bounds over what they used to be it terms everything; I believe their products are massively denting the profits of the more affluent food distributor. I remember in Germany in the early 1990s I wasn’t sure when I was (sorry my valet) in Aldi/Lidl whether I was at a flee market or a food bank.
2 years ago I used to rattle around all lonely in my local one when it was new, echoey & empty with tumbleweed blown along the aisles by the howling wind.
Now it’s jam-packed & the carpark is overflowing.
Agreed, they’ve went to far with successful advertising.
Not quite.
If you take the simple example of a £100 top line purchase, you will get 20% off for he voucher so the amount subject to the 15% and 2% discounts will be £80 not 100.
So total discount is 20% of £100 + 17% of £80 = £33.60 so 33.6% discount in total.
Yes good point. I will have to settle for a third off all my Christmas gifts
River Island – anybody remember the pre-image-enhancement name? Mister Byrite. 🙂
The Oxford Circus London branch, trying to appeal to visitors, plastered its windows with alternative branding ; Herr Kaufen Sie Richtig 😀 and M Acheter a Bon Prix (or similar). 😀
Not sure they would have attracted me.
[missing the opportunity of including proper smilies …]
Oh, I see they worked. 🙂
Didn’t River Island actually emerge from Chelsea Girl originally?
Connections, certainly, mainly via the Lewis brothers and Blue Inc. – https://www.blueinc.co.uk/about-us-i1. Blue Inc renamed stores as River Island – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Island . Information about Mister Byrite is difficult to find (it was a private company), my searches end up in subscription-only libraries.
If I remember rightly, “Englisher Kaufen” doesn’t go down to well in Germany.
It can be quite an effective tool to add “Foreignness” to a lagging brand; Bon Prix (AKA Gratton) have done alright out of it. “Mange tous, mange tous Rodney” as Del Boy would say.
there was a great net-a-porter offer recently – what do you think the chances are of that coming back or appearing on the car member offers site?!
there is £25 off £100 spend at Hugo Boss which is decent
Not on any of our 5 cards!
Rob it is active on my BA PP, I got an email about it also… not sure why it would be targeted only?
I’ve that offer on my plat and £50 off £300 on my BAPP. Not too shabby.
do these work for supp cards too?
These offers are less and less appealing
last year they had spend 50 get 10 back or spend 100 and get 25 back
Now is spend 100 to get 10 back????
next year will be spend 1000 to get 10 back….
