  As a US resident, I’m a great fan of In Motion. It’s an airport shop that actually stocks the kind of things you might want while traveling. The Dixons DF prices long ago ceased to be competitive and I think it is no loss to the UK’s airports. Much easier and less hassle to buy the new iPad or MacBook at a regular store. But the smaller scale ‘gear’ sold in IM makes much more sense for passengers who, say, have forgotten to bring their headphones when they left home. A good move!

    So why only Leeds airport of all places ?

      The only airport without a Dixons, maybe?

  I would be obliged for an advice whether:
  – annual fee counts as eligible spending towards 10K target,
  – any credits from Amex (Dell purchase, promotions for cash credits for spending) would detract the total amount of eligible 10K target.
  Many thanks,

    1. No
    2. I don’t think so (because you don’t lose points) but am willing to be contradicted ….

  I think WH Smith also own Tech Express which is pretty much the same thing. There’s one at London Bridge station.

  Still waiting for my bonus, now spent nearly 20k but looks like I’ll have to wait out the 3 months.

  I think it should read:
  The 20,000 points on Business Gold when you hit £3,000.
  I have experiencced this with this promotion even though my card was approved on 7th April. I’ve had the 20K for hitting £3K so glade to see that Amex admit to the glitch.

  I hit the £5K spend on the Gold about two weeks ago, no sign of the bonus. They have always been prompt in the past but not this time.

  The primary issue with airport shopping is that I cannot pre order on line. What I can pre order is very limited and calling to place an order (with Dixons at least) was a nightmare.

  In an world of online shopping, click and collect and Amazon prime the lack of a web solution for airport shopping is a major weakness.

  I have often wondered why this is then I realise that prices are far from competitive and perhaps I have answered my own question!!

  There’s good money to be made selling small electronics that people forget to pack in airports. People freak out when they realise they forgot to pack their phone charger or decent headphones before they board a 10 hour flight.
