New American Express statement credit deals launched
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
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
