Save £100 on an £800 Emirates flight booking with American Express
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
A chunky offer of a £100 Emirates statement credit has appeared on many American Express accounts. You need to check the ‘Offers’ tab of all of your cards to see if any have been selected.
The £100 refund is triggered when you spend £800 at emirates.com before 25th February.
It is only valid against flights departing from the UK and transactions must be made online.
I would imagine, although this is not certain, that an £800 taxes and charges bill on an Emirates Skywards redemption should trigger the cashback as long as it is charged in Sterling.
Registrations are capped at 20,000 American Express cards. I doubt you’ll find this offer on any British Airways American Express cards though ….
