New American Express cashback deals for Tesco and Peninsula Hotels

New American Express cashback deals have appeared for Tesco and Peninsula Hotels.

A very generous new American Express offer with Tesco has appeared on a lot of Gold and Platinum cards, although unfortunately not on any in our house.  You need to look under the ‘Offers’ tab on your online statement page.

If targeted, you will receive 400 bonus Membership Rewards points for a £10 Tesco spend.  This is worth 400 Avios, 400 Virgin Atlantic miles, 600 Marriott points, 800 Hilton points etc.

Going substantially more upmarket, Peninsula Hotels is offering £100 back on a £500 spend, valid until the end of the year.  The Chicago and Manila hotels are excluded.

If you were thinking of taking advantage of this, our hotel booking partner Emyr Thomas can access exclusive Peninsula benefits for you via PenClub.

You would pay the standard Best Flexible Rate but also receive free breakfast, $100 food and beverage credit, flexible check-in and check-out times, upgraded room amenities and a room upgrade if available at check-in.

These are ‘pay on departure’ rates so they would also trigger the Amex £100 cashback.  You can contact Emyr via the form on this page.
