New American Express hotel and airline cashback offers launched

A couple of new hotel and airline cashback offers have appeared on American Express statements.  You may find some, none or all of these under the ‘Offers’ tab on your online statement pages.

Remember that you must opt-in to each offer and that different offers appear under each card you hold.

To add to the existing deals for Thistle, Amba, Hilton, Melia and Guoman hotels, which we have discussed previously, I have:

£30 back on a £250 spend at MGallery (expires 15th November)

15% back (max £100) at TripAdvisor Rentals (expires 16th November)

£100 back on £800 Emirates spend (expires 31st October)

If you’ve never heard of MGallery by Sofitel, it is one of the lesser known brands under the Accor portfolio.  According to the MGallery site:

MGallery by Sofitel is a collection of boutique hotels dedicated to lovers of life, literature and culture. Each MGallery hotel stands as a gateway into another world – be it a bygone era, a hidden haven or a spectacular natural landscape.

In the UK, there are five MGallery hotels of which four are taking part in this deal:

• Francis Hotel, Bath (photo below)
• Queens Hotel, Cheltenham
• Victory House, Leicester Square, London (not participating in this offer)
• Castle Hotel, Windsor
• Woughton House, Milton Keynes

You can see our full directory of all UK cards which earn airline or hotel points here. Here are the top current deals.

There are special sign-up bonuses on both of the BA American Express cards until 28th February 2022. The bonus on the free card is doubled to 10,000 Avios and the bonus on the Premium Plus card is increased from 25,000 Avios to a huge 40,000 Avios.

Earning miles and points from small business cards

If you are a sole trader or run a small company, you may also want to check out these offers.

The bonus on the Capital On Tap card is increased from points worth 10,000 Avios to 30,000 Avios until 4th February 2022.

For a non-American Express option, we also recommend the Barclaycard Select Cashback card for sole traders and small businesses. It is FREE and you receive 1% cashback on your spending.

Apply 31st March 2022 and your cashback will be increased to 2% for the first three months.
