Co-Op launches an American Express cashback deal

American Express has launched a new cashback deal with the Co-Op.

You will receive £5 cashback when you spend £15 in-store.

This is widely available. Don’t confuse it, however, with an offer from Co-Op Will Writing Services!

Co-Op stores are known to be very lenient / dim (delete as applicable) in letting customers pay utility bills via PayPoint using an American Express card. You may also find some useful gift cards available. Or, you know, just buy some food and drink …..

You need to look under the ‘Offers’ tab for each American Express card you hold, and click ‘Save to Card’ to register.

Note that “Co-op Chemists, Prescription app, Legal cover, Insurance, Funeral Care and Cover, Post Office and Petrol Stations are all excluded.”

The offer expires on 1st November.
