Genuinely free stuff from Achica for Amex Platinum cardholders

Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

If you have an American Express Platinum card you should have received the latest emailed edition of Platinum Life yesterday.

Tucked away at the bottom, so you might have missed it, was a mention of a £20 discount for discount homewares site Achica.

The good news is that this is a ‘clean’ £20 discount with no minimum spend. The voucher even discounts the postage cost – so if you spend £15 or less, you will have nothing to pay.

Taittinger

If you’re in need of socks, bedding, shower gel or other household bits and pieces then you should find a way of spending your £20 easily enough. Personally, I’ve ordered this half-bottle of Taittinger with an ice bucket, which comes to a grand total of £6.75!

The promotional code you need for the Achica website is ACHICA20AMEX. If your order is less than £20 including postage, the payment options disappear entirely when you enter the code, as there is nothing to pay.

This offer is targeted at Amex Platinum cardholders although they do not ask for a card number if you spend under £20 and if you spend over £20 you can use any card to pay the balance.

While you’re here Raffles: report (only 1 so far) that 29K T CC points deducted for inks abuse, will monitor.

  Oh oh. 29k was chancing it a bit though. I have a feeling they might start to investigate when people get near the 30k limit

    Would you mind clarifying this please? I couldn’t follow the context – who is monitoring and what??

      Sure, we’re talking about report elsewhere that Mr T has likely seen over-ordering of the 750 points on 2 HP inks as abuse (ie not for personal use) and deducted the points. So far still waiting on more info.

      Sorry, different conversation, nothing to do with Achica!
- Rob says:

  Yes I saw that. But that was off a huge number of HP ink purchases. I am always ultra cautious in what I recommend when plugging Tesco deals, and for good reason.

Cheers Raffles, used my Amex gold and it seemed to work. Nothing to lose anyway 🙂

Heres another referral link if anyone wants to give it a go. Both of us should receive £10 for using it

I went for the champagne too, very tempted by the rainbow champagne glasses but they were sold out!

I don’t seem to be receiving the Platinum Life mailshot with my Amex Platinum. I go to the marketing preferences in “My account” and I see everything says yes and in fact it says “You are currently receiving all our marketing communications.”. Is there somewhere else I am supposed to sign up for this?
- Rob says:

  Do you multiple Amex cards? Preferences need to be set for each card.

Unofrtunately only one voucher code can be used per purchase, so no chance to combine the Amex £20 discount with a referral £10 discount too. Bit of a shame, but then it’s already a good deal. Also considering that there is plenty of small useful stuff on there for less than £5, if you order it individually and then pay the postage with the balance of a £10 voucher code, you could still get loads of stuff free. Or of course actually pay for the balance of a larger order. Either way, still worth getting a referral for both parties, so here’s another link:

Enjoy!
