Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Get £10 American Express cashback on Heathrow Express train tickets

American Express has launched a new cashback deal with Heathrow Express.

It is showing on my Platinum charge card and my British Airways Premium Plus card but not my Starwood Amex.

You get £10 back on a £35+ Heathrow Express purchase.  The deadline to use the deal is 19th May.  There is no guarantee that this works with cumulative purchases but it is worth a try if you are buying Heathrow Express tickets anyway.

Amex Heathrow Express cashback

A handful of people are reporting a less generous offer of 10% back, but £10 appears to be the most common version.

Remember that you can also earn 10 Avios per £1 spent on Heathrow Express tickets if you use the heathrowexpress.com/avios landing page.  This is more attractive than the standard rewards offer of 1 Heathrow Rewards point per £1 spent.

    Hi, You mentioned cash back cards, what is your thought on the AMEX true-earnings cards. I am considering partnering it up with the AMEX Platinum Charge card.

    What do you think?
