Thanks, was on one of my two accounts.

Finally a decent Amex offer after months of tat :smiley:

Only on one card and not on my wife's supplementary card.
A manual add is needed.
Where is Morgie? Having a lie in?

Amex has been pretty poor with offers this year! Got to be the worst year since the offers started.
Still four more months until 'Shop small'.

Just to put peoples minds at rest.
I've just purchased a £20 Amazon giftcard and almost immediately received an Amex email confirmation.

sort it out Morgie - i'll give you 24 hours

Nothing, apart from useless offers like Hackett, mr porter.com and nespresso.....

Is there a way of changing the preferences to something else?

this must still be valid, i logged in and added to my card :smiley:

Not on mine. :disappointed: Nice one if you've got it! :smiley:

Used this for a £20 gift card and very quickly got the email from Amex :smiley:

http://cardmemberoffers.co.uk/

But no sign of the offer for us lot unfortunately.

Does this apply to items purchased from the amazon marketplace? I had assumed that it would but I haven't received the usual email from amex stating I have earned £5 after my purchase

Is there a sign-up link for non-Amex issued cards (ie. Lloyds, Barclaycard, MBNA etc.). I can't find one :disappointed:

I'll have to re-think this and decide whether I should downgrade from my Platinum card. Costs £25 per year and to be honest, the cashback I earn is only around £75.......................and that's with all the 'Shop small' purchases!
Maybe time to switch to the basic non-fee-paying Platinum 'everyday' card.

Amex may be dropping the rates, but I don't suppose for one minute they'll be dropping the annual fees!

Nah, pretty sure it's down to backinstock's 100+ credits from Shop Small last year......and that was just the One Stops :smile:

http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cardsloans/article-3732060/American-Express-cuts-rewards-Platinum-Everyday-cashback-credit-card.html

Amex to cut cashback rate on Platinum for new and existing cardholders

I blame Morgie

Not on mbna :disappointed:

The offers for the main and supplementary cardholders are not identical and need to be loaded separately to each card. You would need to register the supplementary cardholder separately on the Amex website to see whether if the offer is available for that card too.

Hope this 'issue' isn't repeated for the 'Shop small' later in the year!

American Express. You can apply for a card.

what is amex? can i register?

Got this, cheers OP

A bit disappointed, well a lot more than to be honest that a manual add isn't an option, but my £5 credit is showing this morning for my Amazon £20 giftcard purchase.

Worked for me, thanks!

thanks OP

​Well if it was described as an offer for the Platinum Amex Cashback card then it would seem like the majority of people would get it, so it must be because there are a lot of people with those cards.

I've just counted my Amex cards (mostly supplementaries) and the only card out of my 10 (!) with the offer was a Platinum card. So far it seems most people who've posted success have had that card. I've got 2 Platinum but only one had the offer.

thanks OP

use Amazon all the time so this is essentially £5 for free to me
Just bought a £20 digital gift voucher

offer only available on 1/2 of my AMEX cards

Why its getting so Hot when majority of ppl cant get any benifit from it in anyway?

HUKD works in mysterious ways!

There is no manual/direct link otherwise it would be in the opening post.

As far as I know ​the offers on the cardmemberoffers.co.uk website are the same for everyone so nobody with MBNA or Barclaycard would have had this offer.

Thanks for the info I hadn't noticed it, on my Platinum cash back c/c but not on my Platinum Charge Card

Thank you :smiley:

Is there a manual link for this ? - I can't see it on my MBNA Amex or Barclaycard Cashback cards.

only on main platinum cashback card, not on supplementary card. :disappointed:

:laughing:

I think "we" (AKA backinstock) may have to give up any hope of enrolling additional cards in this one, seems intentionally restricted. We'll see. :disappointed:

See my posts #100 and #123

not on my express rewards

Offer saved to card, thanks.

I have a Barclaycard american express card. Can i get amex offers? If yes where do i find them.

sort it out Morgie - i'll give you 24 hours

Yeah same here. Only got the usual crap offers and agree that not much is being offered to non-fee paying cards.

Only on my amex platinum cash back. Has been known that some offers appear on other flavours after a while too so keep looking.

Does my head in my barclaycard Amex isn't accepted

Thanks, got my online gift card, email from Amex arrived within minutes. Sweet :smiley:

Not on my Amex Gold card. This is practically racist by Amex - they've offered it on their **** Platinum Credit Cards but not on their Gold Reward Cards. All I get are offers for David Clulow. I've no idea what that shop even sells.

no worries, was beginning to think different cards, different offers :smiley:

​yeah my mistake, £45. Have to get that extra Garlic bread

Not on my Amex gold card, still hot for those who managed to get it

worked fine with gift card top up...

£10 on a £45 spend at Ask on my platinum cashback card...

was about to post this, after noticing it today. Applied it to my two AMEX cards - wish I hadn't canceled my other one last week now!

I try a gift card - but terms to say this isn't counted.

no sign on my Barclaycard platinum cash back Amex although I did get the £10 off a £40 spend at Ask italian

No sign on my gold Amex.

Mine is a Lloyds issued Amex. No sign on their offers :disappointed:

Not available on my card

not on my nectar, is there an link for manual enrolment?

Heat added but it seems like its card specific - not on my BA Premium Plus Amex (only the £75 Harrys of London offer on there!)

Doesn't appear on my offers :disappointed:

Yes, you sign up using the second link. Unfortunately this offer is currently not available for cards in this second group.

You would sign up using the first link if your card appears on this list ( https://www.americanexpress.com/uk/content/all-cards ).

If you tried to sign-up on the wrong site it would tell you that the card is invalid or words to that effect.

However behind the scenes both sites are connected e.g if you had different cards belonging to both groups then they won't let you register the same username on both sites. If in the future a manual/direct link is available and you use it then the offers (if available) in your registered accounts would show as being "loaded" too.

Thanks OP. Found the offer for my platinum cash back card on the iphone app.

No manual add as yet, but I'm waiting patiently ....................... well sort of patiently.

Shows on my platinum card. Can the offer be accessed with a supplementary card?

Thanks for this. I have a black Virgin Airlines Amex card via MBNA do I sign up at number 2? Didn't know these websites existed until tonight!! Thanks.

Why not buy a £60 giftcard and receive a £6 bonus?
Buy the Xbox with that? You'll also receive the £5 Amex cashback.
You'd obviously have a balance.

On my Platinum card - was thinking of using it for £20 of Xbox Live credit, I assume that'll qualify?

Edit - it does, just got the redemption email. :smiley:

Not on mine :-(

does it work with barclaycard Amex?

Neither on my nectar and Costco both :-(

Not on my AMEX 'preferred rewards' Gold card, which is a bit of a joke as I would prefer this offer over the others available on there.

Sounds like a good reason to ditch it along with the upcoming £140 fee and get the Platinum everyday cashback one with no fee.

Not on my gold AMEX or BA AMEX !

Gotcha, heat added

Nice one, thanks

i just topped up my amazon account with £60 and got £3 free, used my Amex, and just had an email to confirm the Amex/amazon redemption. Cheers op.

I did have a cashback card at one point but after working out how much I spend - the nectar points especially during the period of double up points at sainburys it worked out that I get more value out of nectar then cashback.

I don't hv it - any direct link?

I can see a possible pattern judging by comments that it has appeared on Platinum Cashback but not on Gold.

Not on my gold card unfortunately :disappointed:

Not on my BA Amex sadly.

Cheers!

Still got a £5 voucher to use.
Now need to find something worth £25 or more from amazon directly...

Will try PRIMENOW5 as well...

Agreed - I've always bought gift cards with Amex deals, and the statement credits have always come through ( even if the terms state that gift card purchases are excluded)

By the way there are 2 different amex websites that you need to register on for these offers, depending on which sort of card you have.

1) https://www.americanexpress.com/uk/ (for Amex issued cards e.g Platinum, Nectar, Costco, etc..)
2) http://cardmemberoffers.co.uk (all other Amex cards issued by other banks e.g Barclaycard, MBNA. You would know that they are not handled by Amex because you already had to register on their respective website to view your card statements).

At the moment this offer is only appearing under for some cards under group (1). Sometimes it is the other way around and offers initially only appear for group (2) cards.

Sometimes also direct links would be made available a little later when the offer is available to be loaded to any Amex card just by entering the card details and there is no need to register an account anywhere. It would then be possible to load the offer to any cards that you have remaining that haven't had the offer yet.

No seriously, there is never a moment I'm not spending at Amazon!

Yes, over these few years I must have bought at least £1,000 worth of giftcards (from Shell, Amazon, Argos, WH Smiths, Post Office, etc...) using these Amex offers and never had any problems. It seems a lot because I have 8 amex cards including supplementary cards just for these offers.

easiest way to do this:-
Log into Amex account,
go to "Top up your account"
enter "20" in the box (no £ sign - doesn't accept it)
Ensure you're paying with your Amex card

Top up happens automatically ( expires 2026 !!)
And I got an email from Amex, saying offer redeemed straightaway!

My wife applied, said 90% eligible and she got rejected!! Not happy

will this work for marketplace sellers?

​Not literally. But I'll let you off this once.

Just wondering if can stack with the first time Prime Now £5 code PRIMENOW5 and get a £25 item for effectively £15 :smile:

Thanks loaded to card, however not showing on my other half's supplementary card on the same account.

Not on both my Barc Amex and additional card:(

Not on my Nectar Amex...

Perfect, thank you :smiley:

On my main card but not AMEX connect.

Heat given.

decent offer

Offer on my Amex Platinum, but not the Nectar Amex.
Heat up.

Fab, thanks. Had to retrieve hubby's amazon account as it was on his card (he's bought me a £20 Amazon voucher - isn't he lovely :wink: )

Great, thanks :smiley:

Thanks for that, just got it. Normally they appear mixed in with my account?

Gift card purchases have always worked for the Amex offers

The card issuer (Amex) cannot see what you have bought as does not have access to product SKU data and will just have a merchant category code for spend at Amazon.

The only way Amex would ever know is if the retailer (in this case Amazon) would hand over sales transaction data, never going to happen.

saved to my platinum every day cash back card, thanks!

Damn it! I literally just bought some new stuff yesterday!

No offer on my card yet :-(

Thanks OP, activated and I have a pending transaction with Amazon! :smiley:

Cheers, got it ☺️

appears on my free Platinum cashback card but not appearing on my British Airways Platinum card

Only on one card and not on my wife's supplementary card.
A manual add is needed.
Where is Morgie? Having a lie in?

Amex has been pretty poor with offers this year! Got to be the worst year since the offers started.
Still four more months until 'Shop small'.

Your call, but that's how it works.
Amex will see a £20 Amazon purchase and you will see a £5 credit.
It's never ever failed yet and that's despite the 'exclusions'.

Got no offer on my AMEX Gold, and I use it on Amazon all the time.

Nothing for me either. The only offer I've had of any use to me was the Starbucks one. Definitely doesn't seem tailored to actual card use.

Not even seen these offers before. Just tried to register on the Amex site but it said registration failed and that I had to call them. Ho hum.

Works for me on a Platinum Cash-Back Card. Thanks.

Not showing for my MBNA AMEX :disappointed:

Been ages since a decent offer has shown up. Not seen the cash back on petrol for a while!

Exactly - most of the Amex offers say that - but I have pretty much always bought GCs as they are usually the safest options and never had a cashback not paid out - so you decide :smiley:

offer on the MAIN amex card only

for other amex cards: https://network.americanexpress.com/ good offers on national theatre / london-based offers

​Yes, it is excluded but are you really going to email Amex after making your £20 gift card purchase? If not, then how do you expect Amex would find out that you had spent the £20 on gift cards and not say books? All the info about the purchase that they get from Amazon is (apart from the card details) just the transaction amount and not an itemised list of what you purchased.

Just to put peoples minds at rest.
I've just purchased a £20 Amazon giftcard and almost immediately received an Amex email confirmation.

Use Amex on Amazon all the time. I have the offer.

No, read the T&C, gift cards and vouchers are excluded.

Thank you!

How do I find out if I've got these? I clicked "GET DEAL" but just takes me to the home page.

finally an amazon offer appears on my card - thanks OP.

account specific i guess.

don't see it on my card

possibly targeted at those who don't use amex on Amazon as I've got nothing but use mine on there all the time.

Brilliant thanks. I had stuff to order today anyway, so you have literally just given me £5. Thankyou!

It always states that, but buying giftcards always works.
I always buy giftcards when available, for obvious reasons.

Will it work if I buy a gift card and then just save it in my account?

not showing on my nectar amex card either. hopefully will come soon

Cheers
Saved !

Thanks OP on 2 of my 3 and that's never happened before.

Not showing on my Amex Gold Reward card either :disappointed: Pity, was thinking of ordering off Amazon as well

This offer doesn't show up on either of my Amex Gold Rewards cards :disappointed:

Its not on my Lloyds Amex card.

Finally a decent Amex deal - shows on one of my card - not on the other - checked last night only - so must have appeared this morning. Thanks for the nudge OP.

Love my Amex, usually earn around £200 cash back a year just for buying what I normally would and save loads with these cash back deals.

Cheers op with this and that £85 amazon ee voucher i will be treating myself....

Thank you :smiley:

Got this on my platinum cashback card

Thanks Op was on one of my cards. Will come in handy.

As I had already registered my AmEx card for offers (here: https://network.americanexpress.com/connect/uk/en/secure/default.html) this website asked me to register my card again. It failed. Guess you can only register on one, though don't know why AmEx seem to have two similar sites.

Thanks OP. I order off Amazon anyway, so this is great for me!

watch out on gift cards, for the last Argos deal the terms and conditions weren't clear and it excluded gift cards, this one doesn't say anything so should be ok but always worth checking the terms and conditions.

I hardly ever get any offers on my cards. Maybe because I use it too often :disappointed:

One of the advantages when purchasing giftcards, is that you have more time to spend them. !0 years? Saves diving in now.
If this offer can be manually added, then the £20 giftcards can be added together towards a larger purchase.
Giftcards are generally the best way to go.

Great, thanks :smiley:

If it's not a daft question, can I buy Amazon gift card to get my Amex credit? Just bought something expensive off amazon

Thanks op. I haven't been checking Offers lately, so would have missed this

Can you use it with this offer??

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/free-5-amazon-voucher-with-30-voucher-purchase-eligible-accounts-only-2488004#post28528238

Wow finally an actual offer from Amex - was beginning to wonder if I had done something wrong as I never seemed to get anything ... Cheers op

Log into American Express Online
Click on each active card (if more than one) and repeat below:
- Click Offers (tab next to Transactions near the bottom)

see if you have offer - Add to card if you do

Nope, not got it - still just a load of expensive tat on mine :disappointed:

How do you actually see if you have this offer?

Seems they've stopped giving any offers on Basic Card too :disappointed:

For the love of an amazon gift card, please update the thread as soon as you get a direct link for our otherwise meaningless Lloyd's American express cards :wink: Thanks!

Can it work with Lloyds American ex

Indeed! Seems you snooze, you lose.....or also find you have the offer one one of 3 cards. Heated!

Thanks

are American express cards hard to get approval. I'm thinking of applying

Great, thanks OP. Was on one of my two cards.

thanks on one card but not supplement card, typical I spend money on it yesterday :disappointed:

Cheers op.. Was only on Amex yesterday and nothing on.. Now showing on my Amex cashback card
Not on mbna one yet

thanks. only one one of my 3 cards.

yep appeared on mine too (even though I have spend several hundred on amazon recently using my card)

Thanks, was on one of my two accounts.

Finally a decent Amex offer after months of tat :smiley:
