Addison Lee is offering 6 x £5 ride discounts during August
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
If you haven’t tried out your American Express Platinum Addison Lee benefit yet, now is a good time.
During August, all Addison Lee customers in London – new or existing – will receive a £5 discount on their first six rides during the month.
The only condition is that the ride costs a minimum of £11, it cannot be a cash or account booking and you MUST add the code ‘SUMMER5’ at the point of booking.
As American Express Platinum cardholders get a £10 Addison Lee credit each month, this offer would reduce the cost of the first £15 ride in August to nothing.
Full details are on the Addison Lee website here.
