New Amex offers: save £150 on KLM flights and save £5 (and earn points) at Esso
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
KLM has just launched a new American Express cashback offer.
If targeted, you will get £150 back when you spend £1,000+ on the KLM website by 2nd October, and book a flight which departs from a UK airport.
Remember that you need to opt in to the offer via your Amex statement page on the website or the Amex app. Only 15,000 registrations will be accepted.
Virgin Atlantic flights to the US can be booked on the KLM website. These flights have KL flight numbers, not VS ones, and so I suspect that they will trigger the £150 cashback if you spend £1,000+.
You can check out options on the KLM website here.
Save £5 on a £50 Esso spend
Finally, a more low-rent Amex offer of £5 off a £50 Esso spend has appeared. This is valid to 15th October.
You can:
- earn Avios via Esso by taking Nectar points and converting them to Avios, or
- earn Virgin Flying Club points at Esso by taking Tesco Clubcard points and converting them to Virgin Points (only valid at Esso stations with a Tesco Express store)
The price gap between supermarket petrol and branded petrol has narrowed. Since Asda and Morrisons were taken over and decided to stop using petrol as a loss leader, all supermarkets have increased their fuel prices. Even readers who usually avoided Esso due to cost should come out on top with £5 cashback.
It is also worth checking the Nectar app for any opt-in Nectar bonuses before visiting Esso. Any bonuses will be under the ‘Partner Offers’ section.
