  I had a Dell offer on personal Plat. The items were processed separately, but the statement credit appeared.

  I received 3 emails from Dell for 2 items. One of these was order acknowledgment. This clearly displayed all items as one transaction. I guess this could be used as proof of single transaction.

  Hi Rob. The Comet offer works fine, and although I have n’t quite used the full 10 x £20 credits, I’ve swiftly had 6 x £20 credits On my statement after spending 6 separate £20+ transactions paper / printer ink etc.

  Data point – I bought a gift card in-store in my local Currys last week for £20 and I did NOT receive a statement credit. As this was over a week ago already I think it’s safe to assume that the Amex offer does not work in-store.

    I think the same is true of the Selfridges offer – online goes through as Selfridges.com and in store as Selfridges .

  On the subject of Amex offers, I didn’t initially get the 15% back for Wineflyer. It wasn’t clear whether this was because it was charged as Laithwaite’s or because of some IT glitch (the chat CSA said the offer wasn’t showing at their end), but they opened an investigation for me and the 15% was refunded a few days later. It was a great deal as I also got 20% off for being a Blue Light card holder.

    Similar for me, possibly because I’ve used wine flyer in the past? Chased with Amex and the 15% rebate was applied stacked with the Blue Light code, as an added bonus 1000 Avios appeared in my account a couple of weeks later.

      Boo – I didn’t get the extra avios 🤣

      @Craig. Just to confirm, the only Blue Light code I can see is for generic Laithwaites, that works with BA Wine Flyer too? Thanks.

        Input it at checkout and see if it works, it did for me.

        I didn’t log in via WineFlyer, forgot I had the account to be honest. But the case had WineFlyer branding when it arrived.

  Avoid Dell. I was looking at a laptop and this offer made it a sensible deal. Not a bargain but a good price. I logged the deal onto my card and next morning went to buy to find a 16% hike in price from £749 to £869.

  Not sure who is paying the £100 but it looks like they are making sure they get their money back one way or another.

  Amex are also unmovable with US flights cancellations that are described by airlines as schedule changes. I had to go via insurance route

    There’s a time limit in the US before which a ‘changed time’ becomes eligible for refund. This is in the airline T&C which you would have agreed to at the time of booking. See the press around what happened when United tried to get around it (spoiler – they retreated pretty quickly). You can’t expect European rules or standards to apply globally.

    That didn’t happen when I bought my laptop a couple of months ago, that’s disappointing.

    So Dell knew that the day before you went to make the purchase you had saved the offer on to your Amex card and they adjusted the price of their stock across the board just to get you?

  The way Dell charge has always been that way. If ordering, say, a laptop and peripherals, they will arrive separately. I suspect the individual charging is to ensure they only charge for what they’ve shipped. Having been a Dell customer off and on for years, this is no surprise. Amex not allowing cumulative spend is also often hit and miss. The learning here is to buy something you actually want rather than for the sake of thinking you’ll get something for free.

  Bought a monitor for £164. Offer worked perfectly, especially as I’m WFH 😉

  • Rob says:

    If you buy 1 item then obviously Dell can’t split the transactions!

• Nick says:

  26 Jun26 June 09:56

  Does anyone know if the currys/PC world offer valid for all Amex cards or only business cards?

  • Rob says:

    26 Jun26 June 10:12

    Only Business Platinum.

  • Charlieface says:

    Does NOT include Currys/PC World Business
