  You can also register for these offers via Amex connect if you have non-amex issued cards. i.e. MBNA

    Anyone any idea why these offers don’t show on Gold cards that were just taken out?

    • Peter K says:

      It’s because your card needs to be around for a while before they throw offers at you. I think until your first month’s payment has been made.

        thanks Peter for your answer

  I don’t think the HOF is just the old offer extended. It says once per card and although I have already used it earlier in the month I was allowed to add it to my card(s)
  When you redeem an offer it says so next to where you loaded it in your account, this says added to card.

    Yeah I noticed that in the offers vs expired offers yesterday. The new one says once per card which the last one didn’t – wonder if it was an oversight in the previous offer.

  Andrew. Read the thread first. Why repeat what someone has already written?

  I booked some hotels on hotels.com yesterday and kicked myself thinking I missed the sale. Then I checked and in the sale the rooms are actually £3 more expensive than those I booked yeatersay

    Has a hotels.com sale ever really been a sale? They seem to have a sale every week and the prices rarely change.

  Just redeemed at Argos. They’re doing 2 x £15 iTunes vouchers for £25. Extra sweet deal!

  Does anyone know if the World Duty Free offer works if you buy vouchers in advance from their website?

  • Rob says:

    9 Jun9 June 14:22

    Yes, Amex has no way of knowing if you used a voucher or not.

    • zark says:

      Be aware that you can not use vouchers to purchase tobacco products

  OT. I’ve just done the new transfer to avios.com from Tesco competition (thanks for the referral Rob) but at no point did it ask me for my avios.com number. Does that mean they’ll open a new account up for me and I’ll have to contact them to combine them (rolls eyes).

  • Rob says:

    They match your account automatically via your email address or home address

      Thanks Rob, that’s great.

  Does anyone know if you can use argos gift cards to purchase other gift cards?

  Just trying to maximize the offer.

    It is very unlikely, but Argos do sell a variety of gift cards which seem to vary between branches. Today I bought £80 of Boots vouchers on each of two Amex cards and intend to do the same on 6 other cards to pat ay Boots Opticians. This gives 12.5% cash back.

      What a great idea! This didn’t even cross my mind! I’m due an eye check.

      Thanks,

    You would have to buy something real, return it as unwanted/ unsuitable for a refund or credit note, then buy the second giftcard. Not my style but I guess if you have the time & inclination…

    • mark2 says:

      When I recently returned something that I had bought with a gift card (because I genuinely did not want it after all), unsurprisingly they refunded the price as a gift card.
