  people who moan about no availability presumably can’t/ won’t book flights T-355

  I’ve just logged into my Amex account and was able to add the offer to my card…good excuse for an extra break!

  Just booked flights to Lima for next May. Hopefully if it works a nice little saving, without touching too many points. Thanks

  Emailed Amex via secure message last night and they replied to say they have added offer to my card and its there so worth a try !

  I too didn’t get the BA offer. Inspired by HFPers above, I contacted AmEx online and now have the offer on both my Gold PRC and BAPP.

  Thank you fellow HFPers! 🙂

  Checking my accounts just now, I see the ShopSmall spend £10 to get £5 credit offer is back.

  Noobie question – can this offer be triggered once per main card or can my supplementary cardholder also get it, allowing us to do it twice?

    If your supplementary card holder has registered the card for an amex online account, have a look there and this offer may be listed. If so, pay 1x£500 with your card and 1 x £500 with your supp’s card for 2 x £100 back. All supps should do this in case such offers come along.

    If it shows on the supps account, assuming you registered it, then probably OK but I would not make a purchase purely because I expected it.

      Thanks both, don’t think they have the offer – but will check earlier in future

  I managed to get this offer added to my card by Amex too (thanks to the advice above).

  However, Anex now tell me “I would like to inform you that you are required to make a one-time charge of £500 or more with British Airways to qualify for the offer credit. Therefore, credit will not be triggered on this British Airways charge.”

  Is that how others interpret the T&Cs:

  “Offer only available when you spend £500 or more at ba.com by 24th November 2016 with the British Airways American Express® Card to which the offer is saved and on transactions made in Great British Pounds (GBP).”

    This is not how I had interpreted the T&Cs.

    ‘spending £500 or more at BA.com by 24th November’ doesn’t to me suggest it has to be a single transaction, and the T&Cs don’t say this elsewhere.

    I was planning to split the £500 over a couple of bookings. Does anyone else have any evidence to suggest if this will work or not?

      In general with these promos, you should assume it is 1 transaction unless stated otherwise. However, it is fair to say that sometimes they pay out on cumulative transactions when you don’t expect it. That doesn’t really help I know ….

      • Ben says:

        Thanks for the advice. I need to make those sub-£500 bookings anyway so I’ll go ahead and see if I get lucky with a cumulative total.

  Hi, just been reading all the comments from people saying AMEX gave you the offer after you contacted them. I did not have this is my offers and have since booked flights/holidays on 2 separate occasions spending over £500 on both. If they did add it now, would those 2 transactions trigger it?
