  Thanks for highlighting this. Had it on my plat and have used it to book car hire for a trip in Easter. Wasn’t clear when booking from the Amex site if the car hire was prepaid or not, but I had the email confirming I had applied the promotion before the email confirming the booking. So that’s alright then 😉

  Appreciate this Rob, 4x offers signed up for, hope to head back to Iceland in the Autumn.

  So that’ll be £200 off 2x flights, car hire and potentially 2x hotel bookings.

  Yes, I posted earlier in the thread and it was £70 more for my hotel in Venice but now the same price as Expedia £50 saved = result

  Hi,

  Please excuse if this seems like a daft question… Want to book and pay for the experiences on Amex travel and…

  I’m confused…Can I ask does the fact that I have an offer on my supplementary gold charge card as well as my DH’s primary card having one mean we can both spend £150+ and both get £50 statement credit. Even though it is really just on one account. We have the offers saved.

  Seems too good?

  Thanks for any advice, I’m a bit worried about contacting AMEX to ask in case they made a mistake or something ;p

    No they treat the cards separately, so looks like you’ve kicked out!

    No they treat the cards separately, so looks like you’ve lucked out!

  • TimS says:

    If you have both loaded the offer and both spend £150+ on your cards then yes you will both get £50 credits.

    I’ve done this lots of times with my primary & wife’s supplimentary cards when we have both had the offer available to load.

      Thanks for replies and we went ahead n booked two nights in 2 different hotels… One high end in South Asia and one bog standard Best Western in Dublin. Both breakfast with 2 rooms in Dub… Received emails with redeemed credit within the hour.

      Great deal at £224 all in with discount. Thanks for the heads up head for points

  I have this offer showing on my card and 2 supps. We have a trip LBA to AMS in May, I was thinking of splitting our tickets 3 way to take full advantage.

  Now here is the problem-it will be us and 3 kids plus my sister. My sister may cancel hers last minute. If she is on same booking with one of my daughters, will KLM allow my daughter to go without my sister? Because we will be on the same flight? Or does the whole booking get cancelled if one passenger doesn’t go?
  I am assuming we can just show her birth certificate to show she is still with her parents despite her travel companion not going. Is that too simplistic?

    You may have to contact Amex Travel to cancel, for which they may charge (this doesn’t matter if you’re willing to forfeit the ticket – but then are you actually saving any money with this offer?)

    If your sister is a no-show on the day then it would depend what KLM has to say about it. Replicate the fare on ITA and read the fare rules.

    You can always pay the adult fare for the oldest kid and then they should have no problem when you all show up together.

    Also Amex Travel submits a charge per traveller even if you book a ticket for 2 people.

      Ps just to add Amex travel submitted fare for all passengers. We got email confirmations of offer redemption pretty much at same time as for tickets.

    I know the answer for BA, which may or may not be helpful.

    You can link the 2 bookings on the phone and they would therefore arrange you all to sit together.

    As long as the kids are travelling with parents, there is no issue of unaccompanied minors needing prior arrangements to be made.

    A question: what age does a child become an adult at KLM? At BA it’s 12 – how old is the eldest child on the kids’ booking?

    Your sister not flying would not result in the whole booking getting cancelled – just the no-show person.

    So my advice would be to phone them to link the bookings and also let them know your sister is possibly doubtful to fly – they will probably just make a note of it.

      Thanks for replies. In the end we decided to book for just 5 of us. So we split bookings in to 2 saving £100. Then booked accodation with my sister’s supp card saving another £50! Result…

      Once my sister is sure about her plans it’s easier to book a separatly for her.

      Thanks Rob, I wouldn’t have seen this offer had you not written about it.

  Would the purchase of Forex through the Amex travel website be eligible to the credit? I’ve had a look at the T&C’s and it doesn’t say anywhere that it does not.

    Wondering the same thing as I need currencies for trip to South America next month. Phone and ask?

    • harry says:

      take one for the team, just buy the currency, your risk is negligible.

      I’d certainly like to know the answer 🙂

  Thanks for this… I added it or loaded it to my card the day i noticed it…

  Today i booked a mid week break to Istanbul form Manchester for £155.09 and Amex have already confirmed / tracked it so i will get £50 back… £105.09 return to Istanbul with accommodation – cannot go wrong…

  Just a shame it was only on one of my cards!
