New American Express cashback offers launched

Another batch of offers has launched on my American Express cards, and presumably on yours too.  To find these, you need to go to the ‘Offers’ section of EACH Amex card you hold, either on the app or website.  For some reason the website often shows more offers.

Of things I found interesting:

£75 back on £250 spend at MR PORTER (exp 30 September) – not travel related but a great opportunity to get a serious discount on some new season fashion

5,000 Avios or Membership Rewards points on £300 spend at Claridge’s, The Connaught and The Berkeley (exp 10 September) – this is ONLY valid on room spend which means that eating and drinking in the hotel without staying there is unlikely to count.  I got this twice, on my BA and Platinum card, so in theory a £600 bill split over two cards would trigger both bonuses.

Bonus points on Hilton stays in Europe (exp 18 October) – this appeared a couple of weeks ago and there are numerous permutations of bonus and spend.  My Platinum has 7000 Membership Rewards points for £500 spend.  My wife had a VERY generous 5000 Membership Rewards for £150 spend.  There is a separate US offer too.

There are various others available including high end restaurant options such as Nandos …..
