Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Save £20 at Expedia hotels, and other new American Express travel offers

Expedia has launched a cashback offer for selected American Express cardholders. If targetted, you need to opt in under the ‘Offers’ tab in your American Express app or on the website.

Frankly, it’s more complex than it needed to be.

Not only do you need to opt in, but you need to use a special webpage – expedia.co.uk/amexuk

Save £20 at Expedia hotels, and other new American Express travel offers

Once on that page, you can book hotels, flights, car or package holidays. However, the cashback only applies to hotel bookings which must be pre-paid.

One bit of upside is that cumulative spend counts. You have until 24th June to hit the £100 target.

Remember that hotels booked via Expedia will NOT earn you hotel loyalty points and you will not receive any elite status benefits. This offer works best for independent hotels or chains where you do not collect their points. Remember that many hotels offer exclusive deals via their own websites, especially to logged in loyalty programme members, so don’t assume that Expedia is offering you the best price.

Other American Express hotel offers

The following deals are also floating around my cards and haven’t been mentioned before:

  • £30 cashback when you spend £175 at Macdonald Hotels by 26th April – book here
  • £100 cashback when you spend £500 at Corinthia London by 31st May – book here (this is a fantastic property if you are looking to splurge)
  • £100 cashback when you spend £300 with Maybourne Hotel Group (The Connaught, The Berkeley, Claridge’s) by 31st May
  • £100 cashback when you spend £500 with Mandarin Oriental by 27th May

For the Corinthia, Maybourne and Mandarin Oriental deals, you should get a quote from our luxury hotel booking partner Emyr Thomas. He will be able to get you extra benefits (usually $100 credit, free breakfast, potential upgrade etc) for the same price as Best Flexible Rate. You still pay at check out so the cashback would be triggered. You can contact him here.
