We recently covered a new American Express cashback offer with NH Hotels and nhow hotels.

It is a generous deal. You will earn £50 cashback on £150 spend before 25th August.

It is valid at participating hotels (click here, PDF) across Europe, including the nhow hotel in London. A few European Anantara and Tivoli hotels are also included, since NH now controls these.

Earn triple Avios at NH Hotels

NH Hotels is an Avios partner but ONLY with Iberia Plus, not British Airways Executive Club.

The standard Avios earning rate with NH Hotels and nhow is shown here at iberia.com.  You earn between 200 and 450 Avios per night depending on the quality of the hotel. To earn Avios at NH Hotels, you need to open an Iberia Plus account at iberia.com and give that number to the hotel.  British Airways Executive Club numbers are not accepted

Once the Avios arrive in your Iberia Plus account, you can transfer them to British Airways using the ‘Combine My Avios’ feature online.  This HfP article explains in detail how ‘Combine My Avios’ works.

The Amex cashback deal is now even more attractive. Until 31st August, you will earn triple Avios on NH Hotels stays – on top of your £50 cashback.

The offer doesn’t show on the Iberia website but is outlined on this page of the NH Hotels site.
