  Does the Amex Amazon offer work with paying marketplace seller fees?

  Annoyed with Selfridges today. Ordered last Wednesday with their 20% off offer to be combined with the £30 off £100 Amex deal.

  Email this afternoon to say the main item ordered has been cancelled as they don’t have in stock. When I called up to cancel the rest of the order they said they can’t cancel as it’s ‘ready to dispatch’, I have to wait till dispatched to cancel.

  This takes me below £100 spend with them. Does anyone know if cumulative spend is ok for this one? And/or if vouchers count ok?

    From my experience, my total came to £106 (£96 actual items and £10 for the delivery pass).

    Selfridges helpfully charged them as two different times, but I did end up getting the £30 back.

      Same here online it seems to be cumulative.

  Just did my Morrisons voucher trip. They zipped them all through the till after my shopping and then realised only 1 went through. They wrongly insisted I could only have 1 voucher per transaction, but I didn’t feel like arguing so just took the 1.

  Halfway home I had a moment of doubt and checked the number on the card vs the receipt – yup, they had left me with an unactivated one and the activated one was back on the shelf 😂

    that is not good?

    • Travel Strong says:

      Not good but not a problem. Turned straight around, went back and resolved it. Reclaimed the correct card with the correct last 4 digits. I don’t think the staff had any idea what I was talking about or what was going on at any point though.

  £10 when you spend £100, it is a flat rate.

  Can anyone suggest a quick and easy booking service for short notice self catering type cottages (mid/high end) in the UK for a short last minute break? Like a hotels dot com type easy experience.

  Can you feed Barclays with Bendy?

  • TGLoyalty says:

    You could always try but pretty sure they ban cards that start with a 5 so No.

  • Travel Strong says:

    1 Dec1 December 23:07

    Tried and failed last week for that reason

  • memesweeper says:

  Thanks, I am thinking of upgrading my Bendy. The vanilla version has been fine for me so far.

  What about Creation to Bendy to Creation?

  • Travel Strong says:

    1 Dec1 December 23:08

    Thats between you and your creator

    If you have all the cards, why not try for yourself? Do a small amount if you’re concerned about interest. This is how everyone else finds out which of their cards works with what.
    Though paying a debt you owe to a company by taking out another debt with them seems to be a sure fire way of this gravy train ending real fast.
    Test things yourself, don’t talk about it too much, don’t take the piss and we’ll all have a great long future with millions of points. Do the opposite of that and we’ll all have to find a new way to do it and it’ll probably be talked about way less to help prevent it being a short term thing again.

    For multiple reasons that’s a terrible idea.
