Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Get £10 back when you spend £10 at Dixons Travel (500 people only)

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

I have slotted this in as an afternoon article because of the small number available, and because Amex has already been promoting it via Twitter today.

Amex and Foursquare are offering £10 cashback when you spend £10 at Dixons Travel (ie £10 for nothing if you can find a £10 item, perhaps an iTunes gift card?).

Your American Express card needs to be linked to Foursquare to activate this – see this article for instructions on how to do it.

You then need to search for Dixons Travel at your nearest airport and hopefully the offer will come up.  Click ‘Load To Card’ and you’re done.

If you open multiple Foursquare accounts at different email addresses, you can register multiple American Express cards (assuming you have multiple Amex cards!).

As I said, only 500 card registrations will be accepted.  Full details are here on the Amex website.   The offer ends on 12th January, so please do NOT sign up unless you are 100% certain to be passing through an airport with a Dixons Travel before then.

Head for Points readers can easily fill all 500 slots on their own, so you are probably hurting a fellow reader if you sign up and then do not redeem the offer.

    Is this live yet? I can check in, although i can not then ‘load to card’. The same case for the other 4S offers.

  • Ant says:

    Yes it is live. You need to check in before you can click ” load to card”

    • pazza2000 says:

      I have been. When I click load to card it is still insisting I check in. My card is synced, the offer is there, and I am checked in – wonder if it’s how I’m checking in that is the issue? Took full advantage of the various 4S offers this time last year.

  • Adam (sigma421) says:

    Signed up and will be through LHR tonight. Will post if there’s anything good for £10 🙂

  • David Butcher says:

    Having the same issue as Ant, even though I’ve used Foursquare many times before.

    • pazza2000 says:

      Do we need to ‘re-sync’ our cards? I think it was March I last took advantage (& singed into 4S) am offer. Although I am seeing the offer, which I suspect I would not if my card was not synced?

  • pazza2000 says:

    Just logged onto a second 4S account I have, same issue. It’s either something I’m doing wrong or my app setting (which looks fine).

  • David Butcher says:

    Tells me I need to check in, but it’s already told me I have checked in! Damn it!

  • Paul says:

    These AMEX promotions which are limited on registrations rather than actual uptake are surely a bit of a con. I mean, it’s plausible and not totally unlikely that they could get 500 people registered almost none of which then actually make a qualifying purchase.

    • pazza2000 says:

      This is true, although I do not see how else they could ‘limit’ these without knowing your guaranteed to receive the discount.

  • Simon says:

    There is also a spend £50 or more, get £10 back offer on at Currys PC World at the moment, if you log into your account on the AMEX site you should see it listed under ‘Your Offers’ and be able to add it to your card.

    The Dixons Travel nearest me was listed in the locations nearby section on the website so you might be able to combine it with this offer.
