ENDS TUE: Get £300 cashback from American Express with Qatar Airways

Qatar Airways has been running a rare cashback offer with American Express.

It ends tomorrow, 1st October.

If you are targeted (and you are unlikely to find this offer on a British Airways American Express card!) and you opt in via the ‘Offers’ section of the app or website, you will receive £300 back when you spend £2,000 with Qatar Airways.

If you didn’t save the offer when it first appeared last month, you may be too late. I can no longer see it on any of my American Express cards so it may have reached its registration cap.

Here are the rules for getting the £300 cashback:

• you need to spend your £2,000 by 1st October
• cumulative spending is OK
• your flight must depart from a UK airport

There are no restrictions on codeshare flights etc so I suspect any flight booked via the website is OK. It is possible, but certainly NOT guaranteed, that taxes and charges payments on Avios bookings will trigger it.

The ‘must depart from the UK’ rule will be enforced. Whilst Amex does not normally get information on what you buy, it is different for airline transactions. You have probably seen this on your card statement where the exact details of your flight are broken out. It would be easy for Amex to block non-UK departures. It is also possible that non-UK departures are ticketed and charged locally, which may mean that the payment is routed via a different part of the airline. Either way, don’t expect to be paid if you fly from, say, Dublin to save on taxes.

Our newly updated business class flight reviews page covers six different Qatar Airways aircraft types and seats.
