American Express has launched a big new promotion for holders of its non-cobrand cards.

If you have, and I quote, an “American Express Platinum Cashback Everyday Credit Card, American Express Platinum Cashback Credit Card, American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Credit Card, The Platinum Card, The Centurion Card and select business Cards” you will see this deal under ‘Offers’ on the website or app.

Amex Dining 10 per cent discount

You MUST opt in.

You get 10% cashback when you dine at any of the participating restaurants up to 3rd July.

It seems to be a mix of independent restaurants and chains, with the latter including Honest Burgers, Yo! Sushi, Gusto, Carluccio’s and Tortilla. All of the Gordon Ramsay Restaurants sites seem to be participating, which should double up in some places with the American Express Platinum Dining £150 cashback offer.

There is a website here with participating restaurants, including a map.
