Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

30% discount on House of Fraser gift cards for Amex cardholders

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

This offer came to light too late for Christmas, unfortunately, but may still be worth a look if you are a regular House of Fraser customer.

Amex is running a promotion with House of Fraser allowing you to order a HOF gift card – for any value – at a 30% discount.

I don’t know where Amex originally promoted this offer.  However, their partnership with SVM Europe (whose website you buy from) is genuine and Amex ran a similar offer via them last year.  

Unfortunately, one of the offers then was for HMV gift cards, just before they fell into receivership!  House of Fraser is more stable, though.  SVM is also the same company that TopCashback uses for its new gift card service that I mentioned yesterday.

    Just off phone to customer services number and they say the offer wasn’t valid and they don’t have the gift cards to stock this order and that it shouldn’t have been on the website !! They would work through all the orders on Monday and start issuing refunds then. Can we refuse the refunds and force them to honour the original deal ??

      We should take legal action.

        Just achieved my 15000 MR for £1,000 spend upgrading AmEx Gold to Platinum in part by spending £560 on these vouchers.
        If I transferred my MR to Avios and then this reversal happened what might AmEx do?
