For the last 20+ months, Amazon has been offering an exclusive £15 discount code for Amex Gold, Green and Platinum charge card holders when they spend £25 or more.
This offer expires on 31st August. If you haven’t taken advantage of it yet – probably because you didn’t have an Amex Gold or Platinum when it launched – this is your last chance.
(Or perhaps not your last chance. It has been extended three times already! You’ve only yourself to blame if you don’t buy something now and it doesn’t get extended again though!)
You will save £15 on your next Amazon order of £25 or more as long as you part-pay with Membership Rewards points from your Amex Gold or Platinum card.
This is what to do:
If you have not already done so, link your Membership Rewards account with your Amazon account by visiting this page on the Amazon website
Buy £25 of items on amazon.co.uk (these MUST all be sold by Amazon and not third party merchants, and excludes digital content and gift cards)
You MUST select your Membership Rewards-earning Amex card as your payment card (you cannot use gift cards or any other payment source)
Part-pay for your order using Membership Rewards points. The sneaky option is to redeem just 2 points for a 1p discount. This saves you ‘wasting’ MR points on a low value redemption. You will only get 0.45p per point and you shouldn’t waste more than 2 of your valuable points on such a poor deal! (One comment below suggests that 10 points may be required, so 5p!).
Enter code AMEX16SWP at check out (the code must go in after you have selected part-payment with your Membership Rewards-registered card)
The Amazon link above (and here) pays HFP a small commission if you use it – thank you. You pay the same regardless.
This offer is open to all UK American Express Gold, Green and Platinum cardholders. It does not seem to work for American Express Rewards (blue) credit card holders. Your Amazon account must have been opened before 28th October 2017 – creating a brand new Amazon account just to take advantage of this offer will not work.

About Head for Points
Extended to 31/10/2018 🙂
How many times have you guys been able to use this code?
Does not seem to be working anymore 🙁 or at least I have not been able to get it to work again after using it last year despite following all of the tips on here 🙂
I saw a comment on HUKD saying that it still works -and in fact, better than that, can be used AGAIN even if you have used it on the same MR account before (I think it needed a diff card though, but same account was ok)
Haven’t tried it yet, but will post back.
