Lots of new American Express cashback offers launched for hotel stays

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

A new wave of American Express cashback deals has been launched.

You can see what you are targeted for by visiting the Amex website and looking at the ‘Offers’ tab on your online statement page. You need to do this for each card you own. Offers must be saved to your card as registration is not automatic.

As soon as you make a qualifying transaction, you receive a statement credit for the promised amount.

The most relevant is another good Hilton offer.

There may be various versions of this, but I was offered – on The Platinum Card – 4,000 Membership Rewards points for spending £350 at selected European Hilton hotels by 31st August.

These offers are usually cumulative so the spend does not have to be in one transaction. Remember that there is a 3% foreign exchange fee on all American Express cards so it is best to spend the £350 in the UK if you can.

You can double dip with the current Hilton Honors promotion which offers double points for stays until 8th September, starting with your 2nd stay. You can register here.

Other travel-related offers on my family cards include:

£100 cashback on £1,000 spend with travel agent Destinology (expires 31st August)

£50 cashback on £200 spend with Hand Picked Hotels (expires 27th November)

£55 cashback on £200 spend at Guoman Hotels (home page here, expires 6th September)

£100 cashback on £400 spend at Hotel Cafe Royal on Regent Street (expires 24th October)

£30 cashback on £100 spend at Thistle Hotels (home page here, expires 6th September)

£10 cashback on £60 spent with Sixt Ride (a Blacklane-style business, expires 31st August)

£55 cashback on £200 spend at Amba Hotels (home page here, expires 6th September)

£55 cashback on £200 spend at London’s Hard Rock Hotel (expires 6th September)

Weirdly the only Hotel offer I could possibly use is Hilton and I do not have it.
I have all usual Thistle, Amba etc. but not any international hotel chain.

  Me too. Could only use Hilton and don’t have it

  Probably deliberate if you’re a regular Hilton user. Pretty sure AmEx will be able to filter the offers based on previous spending patterns. Since Hilton will be funding the offer they probably ask for it to be targeted to gain new customers rather than reward existing ones.

    I used to be of the opinion it was targeted to get people in who had not been in a Hilton but it is not the case as I have this offer and I use Hilton regularly. I have found in the past though that my offers came a week or two after people on HFP were posting their offers. You may get it, just later than others.

  I’m the same as Roger. Have e every offer except the one I want – Hilton

Nothing here
Billy says:

Nothing here but I did get a spend £355 on 20k Avios and receive a bonus of 10k avios from BA.com

  How long did it take for the 10000 bonus to show on your BA account ?
  - darrenf says:
    
    25 Jun25 June 08:34
    
    For me, the extra 10k appeared with the to-be-credited balance on the amex card, and credited with the monthly transfer.
    - Chuck says:

      Ah, great many thanks, should have realised it would be credited that route…

As normal, no targeted offers on either Amex card.
- Dev says:

  +1.
  Given up on Amex offers.
Paul says:

I would rather have the Amex travel offers of last year. Had none this year at all though to be fair, Amex travel prices can be steep. A booking made for a short haul flight at the end of the year was £30 more expensive per person than booking direct.
darrenf says:

25 Jun25 June 06:50

Had most of these for well over a week, having checked daily waiting for a Marriott or Amex Travel offer. In the end I gave up and booked with Rocketmiles for the 25% bonus avios offer instead!

These are not new and have mostly been mantioned here before.

The Hilton is only on the Platinum and even then only the primary card.

Nothing else is of massive interest.

  This run is new.

So, seen other people in the past had this issue – does anyone know the solution?

The only offer on any of my cards for months has been appleyard flowers. Not seen anything else at al across, plat, bapp, spg…

Anyone ever managed to resurrect them, short of churning card?
- Shoestring says:
  
  25 Jun25 June 07:47
  
  somebody said lost card leading to new card in the post a couple of days later (which comes with new numbers) worked for them
  - Shoestring says:

    you could lose a whole wallet of cards in one go, you clumsy oaf

      Oh now look at that, was just checking I had them all with me safely and they’ve gone and fallen the office shredder.. What am I like?
      
      I’ll report back 🙂

        I haven’t had any offers for 5+ months now! I tried replacing my card but made no difference!?

        Once you get new cards create a totally separate online account as otherwise it might link with the old one, so you end up in the same situation. I wish I tried this before deciding to churn. But I did get some referrals from the quick churn, so on balance all well.

        good tip from meta, some people prefer to have all their Amex cards in 1 a/c but I don’t – for precisely that reason (offers)

  Try removing each card from online account and readding. Sometimes works
