Another FREE £100 for Amex Platinum cardholders

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

American Express has launched another £100 giveaway this morning for holders of The Platinum Card.

You will receive £100 statement credit when you spend £100 at a combination of Waitrose, John Lewis, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Deliveroo.

Get £100 cashback on your American Express Platinum card

Based on how the offer worked last time, you don’t need to spend the full £100 to get the credit. If you spend £25 in Waitrose tomorrow, you will immediately get a £25 credit. This continues until you hit the £100 cashback cap.

The offer is only available on primary cards, not supplementary cards.

Both online and in-store purchases count.

You have until 22nd December to spend your £100.

You MUST register, it seems

Looking at the American Express website, it seems that you need to save the offer to your Platinum card for it to be valid.

Go to the Amex website here, log in to your Platinum account, find this offer under your ‘Offers’ tab and save it. You’re sorted!

The small print

There are a few exceptions to what you can buy, but nothing major:

  • Waitrose & Partners exclusions: Cellar, Florist, Garden, Pet, Cookery school, foreign currency, Gift Section
  • Harvey Nichols exclusions: International delivery, gift cards, vouchers and dining within restaurant
  • John Lewis & Partners exclusions: Finance and Insurance products, Parking and John Lewis Opticians
  • Selfridges exclusions: International delivery

The most inconvenient of those is probably the inability to use the credit in the restaurants at Harvey Nichols. However, I assume that 95% of people will redeem the credit at John Lewis / Waitrose or Deliveroo anyway.

You can also get around the Harvey Nichols restriction by buying a gift card elsewhere in the store and then spending it in the restaurants! Gift cards are, in reality, only excluded when ordered online.

Don’t forget to register before you buy.

    Cancel the plat card and save £500 odd quid!

  • KBuffett says:

    Rob, did Amex give you prior notice about this offer?
    If so, are there more coming?

  • MJ says:

    Worth a shout that having called to discuss cancelling/downgrading I was offered 40k points which goes someway to the value of the card this year.

    • Simon says:

      I called up twice and was offered nothing, so just downgraded to gold. If they’d offered me the points I probably would have kept it!

    • Andrew says:

      Was that the first time you’ve been offered anything or did you get the 20,000 a few months ago?

      • Simon says:

        Not sure if you mean me Andrew but I got 30,000 earlier this year. My fee was due next month so I called about retention offers. The guy mentioned the miles I got earlier in the year but if I’d been on the ball I would have pointed out that went some way to recouping last year’s fee not this year’s…

      • MJ says:

        First time – unfortunately, was too busy working on the wards when Covid first hit to call Amex!

  • krys_k says:

    Is this offer extended to Business Platinum ?

  • Ben says:

    If I upgraded my green card to platinum today, am I likely to get this offer added?

    Thanks

  • Paul Irving says:

    not on my plat business card????

  • Stephen says:

    Not on my personal platinum, has anyone had American Express manually add it? Do these kinds of offers appear on supplementary cards too? Thanks

  • Harry T says:

    Between this and 40,000 MR, I’m a happy bunny for a bit.
