  My offer wasn’t so generous: 5% back on £30+ spend at Morrison’s. But 5% is better than nothing. 🙂

  • BJ says:

    That’s a different offer, used to be 10% though. You can get gift vouchers from the kiosk and then use at PFS.

      One of my local Morrisons would only sell max £50 in gift cards because of ‘fraud’. They claimed that the transaction would go through but then later the credit card company wouldn’t give them the money leaving them out of pocket

        Ask them to get a manager to authorise it.

          It was the store manager I was speaking to. It was in a dodgy part of London so just went to the self service tills and bought them there instead

        Were you buying gift cards (I.e. Curry’s, amazon etc), or the paper Morrison’s gift vouchers?
        Had the same problem as you for gift cards (just went back multiple times) but never had a problem buying paper gift vouchers from customer services which you can then use for purchases under £30, and also use them for fuel

          How are refunds from paper vouchers processed?

        • RussellH says:

          Our Morrisons only seel paper vouchers at the tills, not at the kiosk.

        • Shoestring says:

          just ask the kiosk staff to bring over the Morrisons vouchers from the safe

          a till station is only going to have a small £ amount of Morrisons vouchers

          @nick m. Never done it, but I assume cash.
          Just like when you use a £10 paper voucher to buy a £1 item you get the change in cash.

        in another dodgy part (Wimbledon store), £50 is also the max. But they are happy to do consecutive transactions.

        My partner was trying to buy a few £100s the other day and was asked “Are you doing a fraud with the IRA?”

        Unless she misheard, some of the fears of these store managers beggar belief.

          my store middle mgr gave me the thumbs up when I bought £1000 and said ‘great way to pay your staff without any NICs or income tax, good onya mate!’

          for the record, no I wasn’t doing that

  Aren’t Norwegian keeping their services from Ireland to Scandanavie, just cancelling all transatlantic flights?

  • The Original David says:

    14 Aug14 August 07:12

    Yep, unless they’ve changed their mind since yesterday!

  • Rob says:

    14 Aug14 August 08:25

    Correct, will add ‘long haul’.

  I don’t have it yet again across 6 cards all with different spending levels 🙁

  • BJ says:

    14 Aug14 August 06:52

    Have you got 6 cards in your own name or are some of them sipps? I’ve got 4 and wondering if I can apply for a 5th. Got it on my PRG .

    • Liz says:

      Haven’t got any on my 3 cards or hubbys 3 supps.

  Data point on a related promotion; two large Morrisons purchases of gift cards a week ago have not triggered the 10% back. Has anyone else found the same? Has Amex finally found a way to actually implement the term that excludes “gift card purchases”?

  • BJ says:

    14 Aug14 August 07:08

    I doubt it, some statement credits have taken over a week to post in the past few months. I even had one that didn’t post until after the offer expired so be patient a while longer.

    • Crafty says:

      14 Aug14 August 12:55

      Update, they’ve credited now! Both in one chunk despite being separate transactions.

• Andy says:

  Haven’t got it on my BA AmexCard, my wife’s BA Blue Amex or my Platinum.
  Not the end of the world although I do remember when I phoned up to cancel my Amex platinum after the price increase they convinced me to stay as “we’re going to be offering better and better spend offers”. Since then i e had nothing on my platinum that is worth it!
  They better dig out an Amex travel one soon!

• ThinkSquare says:

  I have the offer on my little-used BA (non-premium) Amex. Thanks!

• Paul says:

  Am beginning to wonder what I need to do to get one of these offers from Amex. I have around 45 offers ranging from Hard Rock Cafe to a cruise offer from Avios and a range of restaurant offers which, in my experience generally mean the eatery is about yo go bust.

  No travel offers of any use in almost a year!

  If it weren’t for the travel insurance (2 claims in last two weeks) I wouldn’t be holding the platinum card for long

  Got a bonus refer a friend offer on my Blue BA Amex,(8000 avios instead of 4000) the offer first says boosted bonus for them when apply for a BA Amex card,then terms say any card except the basic Amex card.Friend wants to apply for a non BA Amex,not sure if I get the extra bonus.I think has been discussed here when Amex launched this offer about 3 weeks ago,any experiences anyone,had the bonus avios posted if referree took a non BA card?

    Basic card is a specific charge card which offers no rewards. It doesn’t exclude the normal referrable cards.
