Wheely has brought back its generous £50 offer for American Express cardholders

A good deal with Wheely, the London-based Uber competitor, has appeared again on a lot of American Express cards.   You need to look under the ‘Offers’ section on the online statement page of each Amex card you have.

You will receive £25 cashback when you spend £25 with Wheely in one ride.  You can get the money TWICE until the offer expires on 30th November.  It is actually two x £25 credits per Amex card, so you may find that you can get it more than twice depending on how many of your Amex cards it appears on.

The offer seems a bit scarcer this time.  My wife has it on her Amex Gold but I don’t have it on my Amex Platinum or my British Airways Premium Plus.

Wheely is equivalent to Uber Exec and Uber Luxe.  Its cheapest option is a Mercedes E-Class.

The biggest snag is the need to spend £25 in one ride.  It is NOT cumulative and you do not get any credit if you spend under £25.  Spend £24 and your net cost is £24.  Spend £26 and, with the credit, your ride will only cost £1.

This is not a problem if you are heading to an airport but on shorter trips you cannot be sure you will hit the target.  The complex way Wheely calculate fares (an E-Class is £6 + 50p per minute + £1.60 per mile) means that you can’t be certain what you’ll pay.  It is certainly worth a look, however.
