New £200 Qantas and KLM American Express cashback offers launched
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
It’s good to see airline cashback offers returning to American Express cards following a quiet few years, and this time it’s the turn of Qantas and KLM.
Both are similar, although the Qantas offer is more generous:
- Qantas: get £200 back when you spend £1,000 or more
- KLM: get £200 back when you spend £1,200 or more
The KLM offer is only for Premium Economy and Business Class flights, whilst the Qantas offer can be used in any cabin.
The Qantas offer can only be used on Qantas flights from Heathrow. That means you are limited to the non-stop service to Perth, or the A380 service to Sydney via Singapore. You can read about my 24-hour Qantas experience to Australia in economy here.
(If you want to credit your flight to Qantas Frequent Flyer and earn Qantas Points, this article shows you how to earn extra Qantas Points from UK credit cards.)
Flights need to be booked by 29th November (KLM) or 30th November (Qantas). You need to be targetted for these offers and to opt in via the statement page of the Amex website or app for the card you intend to use.
