Virgin Atlantic and Accor hotels launch American Express cashback deals

Three new American Express cashback deals popped up yesterday which look interesting.
The Virgin Atlantic one is particularly good and is worth £250.
Let’s start with the hotel offers, however. As always, some, all or none of these deals will show under the ‘Offers’ tab on one or more of your American Express cards. You need to click ‘Save to card’ to register before making your transaction.

Accor has launched two cashback deals
Get £75 back when you spend £300 at 25hours
Accor’s 25hours brand is offering £75 cashback when you spend £300 before 6th May. Cumulative spending is OK. Prepaid stays do not count.
The list of participating hotels is here. It covers Europe as well as Dubai and Jakarta.
If you’ve never stayed at a 25hours hotel, take a look at our review of 25hours Copenhagen Paper Island here, which is included in the offer. The website is here.
I have also stayed at Terminus Nord in Paris, which is DIRECTLY opposite Gare du Nord – exceptionally handy for Eurostar travellers.
Remember that Accor has a European double points offer for bookings of 2+ nights made by 16th February for stays by 31st March. Click here to register before booking.
You can find out more about 25hours, and book, on this page of the Accor website.
Get £75 back when you spend £300 at Pullman, Swissotel and Movenpick
Accor is offering a virtually identical offer at its Pullmann, Swissotel and Movenpick brands.
You need to stay by 6th May. Cumulative spend across these three brands counts.
The list of participating hotels is here. All are in Europe, except for Tunisia. There are two UK hotels included – Pullman London St Pancras and Pullman Liverpool.

Save £250 with Virgin Atlantic
Last April we saw the first ever Virgin Atlantic cashback deal. It must have gone well because it is back.
You will get £250 cashback when you spend £2,000 with Virgin Atlantic.
You must book by 31st March and depart from a UK airport. Cumulative spend is OK.
I am fairly certain that taxes and charges on Virgin Atlantic redemption flights WILL trigger the cashback as long as you hit the £2,000 threshold. They go through your credit card in the usual way. American Express will get details of the underlying flight but is it smart enough to weed out redemptions? The T&C don’t even explicitly block redemptions.
The cashback will NOT trigger on the purchase of Virgin Points because this is handled by a third party intermediary. Flights booked via Virgin Holidays will not count.
You can check prices on the Virgin Atlantic website here.
