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.

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.

Is there actually anyone who can confirm that the premium Asda card is being devalued to 0.2% as not received a letter from them about it, I do note it was said on the shopper points website

    The premium card?

Never used to visit ASDA before I got the card, the prices are reasonable and they offer the brand match guarantee also. If the premium card is going down too then its bad news.

So, it is not really a connection at all. No through check-in of baggage, presumably a third party picks them up at Dublin and you collect them from a certain spot as happens at Gatwick. If you miss the connection you need to pay for a new flight but you will get it back via insurance. Hardly seamless.

  I thought it would be a way for Aer Lingus to fill surplus capacity, by selling discounted fares from other EU airports ‘connecting’ through Dub.
  But to avoid the higher UK APD, they can’t sell as one ticket.
  The article also makes it sound like you will get 2 tickets -but then what’s to stop Dublin passengers buying one of these tickets and skipping the first leg? is the third party also checking this ?

Guess it wont include UK airports, otherwise Aer Lingus will have to subsidise the overall fare sufficiently to offset the higher APD?

OT but a heads up in case useful: possibly just my bad luck, or maybe something peculiar to Malaysia where I am now, but it appears that the new debit-rather-than-credit Curve cards (and also Revolut, so perhaps any of the “virtual debit” style cards) are not accepted by those card readers that are designed to be plugged into an iPad/iPhone/laptop/PC etc. They work fine with the usual standalone / self-dialling readers but not with the dumb-terminal ones used by a lot of smaller shops, market stalls, taxis etc…

    Always good advice irrespective of what card you are packing.
