  • 8 posts

    Just spotted this on the BA site – bit nervous about trying it as I can’t see any T&Cs and the Amex site doesn’t mention it, but it’s very tempting…

    It might be a mistake, or referring to US Membership Rewards. Send a few and see?

    The link clearly says it’s US webpage.

    Ahh, you’re right – seems to be US-only, as the equivalent UK page doesn’t mention the bonus… As you were!

    I vaguely recall seeing something on HfP in the last year or so suggesting that transfer bonuses like this were likely to be a thing of the past. Something to do with a change in strategy for Amex.

    I don’t know if anyone can substantiate that?

    Rob has commented more than once recently that Amex don’t want you to convert to airline miles as they cost amex more. A UK avios transfer bonus is therefore the last thing on their mind.
