Forums Payment cards American Express Earning Avios for 99p Purchases?

  • 37 posts

    Hard to search for this question, so apologies if it’s been covered before.

    When I spend 99p on my BAPP Amex card (£1 = 1.5 Avios), is that aggregated so that once I spend £1 cumulatively I get the Avios or is it a straightforward 99p doesn’t count? And therefore £10.99 etc. only earns 15 Avios?

    Can’t believe I have only just thought of this!

    You see can how many avios you earn for each transaction in your Amex account, but a quick check reveals that I got 15 avios for a £9.99 purchase if that helps!

    Oh, in the Amex App? I haven’t explored that aspect, only noticed the total figure transferred each month.
    Thank you! I’ll take a look.

    No, on the website, click on “view earned avios” on the right hand side of the page.

    I think the way it works is that you get 1 avios for 67p to £1.33, 2 avios for £1.34 to £1.99, 3 avios for £2 to £2.66 and so forth.
