A trio of new hotel cashback deals have appeared on many American Express accounts. My wife has them on her Gold card whilst I have them on my Platinum.
The deals are:
£35 cashback on £100 spend at Thistle – website here
£55 cashback on £200 spend at Guoman – website here (the ‘posh’ Thistle brand!)
£55 cashback on £200 spend at Amba – website here (the ‘trendy’ Thistle brand!)
All deals run to 30th September. Whilst the rules do not discuss it, these offers generally work when the spend is incurred via multiple transactions if you can’t spend £200 in one stay.
Here is Anika’s review of Amba Marble Arch which I think was the first thing she ever wrote for HfP.
