Reply To: What is NOT included in Amex sign up bonus spend?

[SteveJ]

£50 harvey nicks and £150 uk dining credit (but included excess above). Also excluded any amex credit from amex offers i.e only included net spend.

It’ll be timing. You don’t need to consider only net spend with Amex’s offers, all spend counts towards a target, in Amex’s world the credits received from their offers are treated the same as payments, not as negative spend.
