Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Genuinely free stuff from Achica for Amex Platinum cardholders

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.

    I notice delivery dates for items are around mid-October so you may never see any of the free stuff!

  • Kathy says:

    Got myself some chocolate fondue sets for £1-odd. Thanks Raffles!

  • AviosNewbie says:

    The toileteries by Crabtree are great too! Most of the other stuff seems gone – they might be getting into the office about now and realising what a morning it’s been.

  • Ian says:

    Looks like their website is crashing… my wife has tried to place her order in the checkout and is being directed to an blank error page…. “bad gateway”…. The staff in their office must be thinking what a busy morning thanks to the Amex promotion ! 🙂

  • Andrew says:

    I’ve ‘bought’ a £20 gift voucher. I’ll go back to the site in a few weeks/months when hopefully stocks have been replenished although I find it hard to believe they won’t cancel all of these orders.

    • Trevor says:

      I’d also thought of this, til I saw the gift vouchers were available in £10 or £25 cards, so if you bought 2 x £10, you’ll receive 2 voucher codes – only 1 can be used per transaction which means having to perform 2 transactions therefore wasting half of it on 2 x postage. Therefore decided to go with a purchase of actual good instead. If it’s all denied ultimately, then no loss either way.

      Stocks are supposedly topped up daily and last up to 3 days as they offer new sale items, so you won’t have to wait long.
