Appearing on my cards this morning via my Offers section in my online account....

Spend £150 or more, get £50 back
Save to Card to get a £50 statement credit on a transaction of £150 in-store and online at Jessops by 31 December 2016. Offer valid every time for the first 50,000 Cardmembers to save. Terms and payment restrictions apply.
Please read the Offer Terms

Good to stack with any other deals from them - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/jessops.com

For cashback deals from camera manufacturers to stack with see - http://www.jessops.com/online.store/categories/Current%20Offers/Cashback%20Offers/Show.html?homepagerb1

If you're buying online don't forget cashback.

If you're buying in store and have the offer on more than one card and are spending on an item of say £300, ask to split payment over two cards, so £100 cashback on £300 etc. Even if you only have one card you could ask to see if you split transactions, as the offer does say valid 'every time', not just once.

Currently no link for non Amex issued cards (Lloyds, TSB, Barclays and MBNA) and based on offers of late I'd think the chances of one turning up are slim - sorry.

It's been confirmed, no giftcards.

Just back from Jessops. Got an canon 80d which they price matched argos at £799. Also got a 24-70 f4L for £675 which brought the total to £1475. I added a couple of filters to bring the total over £1500 and the guy put it through in 10 different transactions.

Got 10 emails from Amex as he was putting them through. With the £80 cashback on the camera, the £160 on the lens and the £500 from Amex, it brings it down to around £760. So in all a good deal.

Amex have been great with this deal....wasn't on my card but I messaged them to ask why and a very nice chap manually added it to my offers so I just got in on the 31st.

Mada06

7 Dec 16 3 #42

Yes they are great. I have made over £500 cashback this year without any of these offers so I suspect the real value is much higher. I lost my card this year and they sent me a new one the next day. What I liked the most was that they updated my wallet on my iPhone with the details of the new card immediately without me asking, what a great thing to do.

Yes sir, just over £150 :smiley:

Went in to the Oxford Street branch today, I was able to make a purchase of £349 and split it over 2 cards, both with the offer saved. Within a few minutes I received the offer confirmation from Amex that it had been tracked. So hopefully I will receive the credit on both but will have to wait and see. Will update in the next few days.

Ps. Unfortunately Jessops do no gift cards, confirmed in-store.

interesting that it says "offer valid every time". Would that suggest unlimited use until the expiry date? So I could buy £150 gift vouchers multiple times for an effective 1/3 off anything I wanted to buy? I assume Jessops sell vouchers?

morgie to robjw_2001

It would sound that way.

The more terms takes you here https://merchantgeo.secure.force.com/selectsImage/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?retURL=/selectsImage/apex/selectsImage&file=00Pa000000lRfeh

C. Transactions that are not eligible

The following transactions are not eligible and will not count towards your spend for the purposes of the offer:

· transactions where you do not spend directly with the merchant (for example, if you buy the merchant’s goods through a third party department store);

· transactions processed through a third party payment processor (for example, PayPal);

· transactions that are subsequently cancelled or refunded;

· transactions where the merchant does not pass on the information we need to process it properly within the offer period (for example, when their payment systems are down and they cannot process the transaction electronically)

· transactions where you buy a gift card, store credit or a voucher.

Giftcards are always stated as excluded in Amex deals, but in my experience (and many others) have never failed to work. It's how I spend on most of the deals. Amex don't know what you're buying, as long as it's a transaction meeting the minimum spend you'll be fine.

matwalaboy

7 Dec 16 #8

never had a giftcard purchase declined for the cashback indeed

How do you know when the 'first 50,000' has been reached?

morgie to Besford

7 Dec 16 1 #10

It will no longer appear for you to save to your card in the Offers section. It's a limit on saving it to your card, not spending.

RealDealSeeker

7 Dec 16 1 #11

Thx OP. Combined with their price match this is a winner.

wingman0401

7 Dec 16 #12

Great, so how can I go about buying the gift cards? Assume in store only?

I'm after the 80d with the 18-135mm USM lens. That's going to be £1,219.00, thusly I'll need 8 £150.00 gift cards.

With the Jessops/Canon cash back of £80.00 and the 8 sets of £50.00 offer, the body and lens would end up being £739.00, which is a bargain IMO.

It could however all come crashing down on me if it doesn't work! :disappointed:

matwalaboy to wingman0401

7 Dec 16 #13

FWIW searching for gift cards on their website gives no results - http://www.jessops.com/accessories/gift-cards also has nothing - don't know what that means.

7 Dec 16 #14

Very hot deal. Must try not to buy more lenses for my camera :sunglasses:

matwalaboy

7 Dec 16 2 #15

Right, just had a chat with CS and it seems Jessops don't do any gift cards/vouchers/coupons - this is what they said

So that option is ruled out - has to be a product or services purchase then I am afraid.

wingman0401

7 Dec 16 #16

Damn! Thanks for looking into it guys. That is a massive shame!

The only other way would be to ask the checkout assistant to split the transaction multiple times. Not sure if they'd be able to accommodate that all. Would probably look somewhat suspect, I guess.

matwalaboy to wingman0401

7 Dec 16 #17

Sorry to be a spoilsport here :disappointed: They won't split it into multiple transactions as its one product - but worth a try and see if they play ball.

morgie to wingman0401

7 Dec 16 #24

I find most places are ok with this approach, but I guess it depends who is on the till on the day.

7 Dec 16 #25

Don't mean to sound condescending, but to alleviate any doubt, you have scrolled down haven't you? There's an option to "view more".

wingman0401

7 Dec 16 #26

Thanks for the reassurance. By all means I will be asking - if they want to sell an 80d they can accommodate me or they can refuse. Their call, I guess.

I've always found AMEX to be quite quick off the mark, I've had it in the past where I've not even left Starbucks and I've had an e-mail to say that the £1 off a £3 order has been redeemed. Quality company.

Or less than £100... :wink:

morgie

7 Dec 16 #47

Funny that :laughing: Might you need extra memory cards, case, spare battery etc? I guess always a way to top up a spend with something useful, but maybe these things can be sourced else where more cheaply anyway.

7 Dec 16 #48

I assume that people without AMEX cards are out of luck, or can one quickly apply for a card and use it straight away?

steveieboy1

8 Dec 16 #49

No the offers come through after you get the card I'm afraid.

Tomb

8 Dec 16 1 #50

Thanks for highlighting this.

Just ordered a Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45-150mm to go with my new Olympus O-MD 10.

£169 (reduced from £199) with the £50 Amex off that should be £119 all being well (plus a quid or so Topcashback!!).

There is a Panasonic cashback deal but I don't think buying a lens on its own qualifies.

morgie

8 Dec 16 #51

Nice. Yeah, the cashback deal is only if you buy it with a camera, you can then claim £20 back.

morgie

8 Dec 16 #52

You might just get the card in time, but unlikely to get this offer. Best best, find a friend with one! Especially as this offer has multiple uses.

nnj10

8 Dec 16 #53

Any recommendation for best travel zoom compact camera.?

steveieboy1

8 Dec 16 #54

I just got another Amex and the offer wasn't on it.

As it has multiple uses I'm going to try and split the payment get a camera and then a lens.

kebl2555

9 Dec 16 #55

Has anyone been successful with multiple transactions yet?

Do you think they would be willing in-store to split my purchase in to separate multiples of £150 even if using the same card?

morgie

9 Dec 16 #56

Yes, they have - reply #41. It's not that unusual, I normally do it with Amex offers like this and tend to find most places are fine, but it depends if who you get on the till understands how to do it.

I don't think anyone has tried with the same card yet, but the offer suggests you should get cashback twice.

luvadealme

9 Dec 16 #57

anyone?

Mada06

9 Dec 16 #58

Why don't you do some research yourself? Seems like you are expecting everyone to do the work for you. It wouldn't take long to google the model numbers of a couple of Manfrotto tripods as these are most likely to be > £150.

kebl2555

9 Dec 16 1 #59

Thanks. Missed that one.

steveieboy1

9 Dec 16 #60

It's something you need to try as a tripod I like will be different to what you prefer even if your priority is lightweight. Number of sections, how the legs come out, height, positions etc.

brown_ambassador

10 Dec 16 1 #61

I am interested in a 7d mk2. I called Jessops phone sales to see if they'd put it through as £150 transactions but said they only have ability to do it in 1 chunk, so it's store only. Anyone successfully split it into multiple on 1 card?

morgie

10 Dec 16 1 #62

I don't think anyone has actually tried and reported multiple on ONE card. The theory is good - who wants to take the plunge? :laughing:

Tomb

10 Dec 16 1 #63

Bleeding offer is costing me money.

Already bought a new lens online for my olympus omd-10 and was just sucked into Jessops store as I walked past.

They have the micro 4/3 i40 flash reduced to £144.95.

One flash, one diffuser and 2 x carrier bags (yes I really did) & another deal done.

Got second acknowledgement from Amex immediately.

m1chaels

11 Dec 16 #64

So how about buy a 150 item, take it back and exchange for a 300 item and so on until you reach price of an expensive item to get 150 off each part of a larger puchase.....

morgie

11 Dec 16 #65

Any thoughts/experience on when Jessop's start their January sale (the clue isn't always in the name!)? Wondering if it's worth waiting until after Xmas day, but of course before New Year's Eve for a purchase(?)

Considering the Nikon D5300 Digital SLR in Black + 18-55mm AF-P VR Lens at £459 (but £309 if I can split transactions after cashback). I think this may already be price matched against Currys, not sure if there's a way to tell.

luvadealme

12 Dec 16 #66

i have settled on:

Manfrotto MT190XPRO3 Aluminium Tripod
http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/89665/Show.html

you can get a free head via redemption:

Manfrotto XPRO 3-Way Head
http://www.jessops.com/images/home/manfrotto_gift.pdf
http://www.jessops.com/online.store/categories/products/manfrotto/xpro-3-way-head-90632/show.html

Given the free head, after the clam and the wait...is it worth me getting the Manfrotto 391RC2 Pan and Tilt Head for half price at same time of purchase?

steveieboy1

12 Dec 16 #67

The 3 way head looks nice to me and tripod looks ok. I have a ball head tripod gathering dust and my old heavy studio tripod with a 3 way head gets all the use. I think you can get a 3/8 coupler then a hook from a DIY shop for your camera bag to give tripod more stability.

luvadealme

12 Dec 16 #68

just realised, the free head only comes with the more expensive Carbon fibre version....doh!

luvadealme

12 Dec 16 #69

any experience of the manfrotto befree ones, looks like they are designed for travelling, so lighter, but any disadvantages?

12 Dec 16 #70

Has anyone tried the same card multiple times yet?

Dogbizkits

13 Dec 16 #71

I popped into a store over the weekend and picked up a D7200 and 50mm 1.4 - all split into £151 transactions on the same card - Got £50 off too with a code currently running on the Jessops site for collect in store, with the Nikon cashback and (hopefully) the Amex one too this works out as £1100 worth of gear for about £580. Just waiting for the Amex cashback to track on my online account before submitting everything to Nikon - but got 7x emails from Amex saying I had redeemed the offer

morgie

13 Dec 16 #72

Great. Did you get separate tracking emails for each £151 transactions?

What was the instore code? Was that the default lens it comes with? I'm considering a D5500 that bundled with a case and battery would work out at ~£400 actually spent (after Amex cashback).

Dogbizkits

13 Dec 16 #73

I got separate emails for each £151 transaction so I know Amex tracked them all.

The code was one running over the weekend on certain camera models - so don't think it is live anymore - Was on the Jessops homepage.

I bought it body only and the lens separately, as I wasn't interested in the kit lens - using this option Nikon should refund me £165 cashback too (as there is bonus cashback for lens and body purchased at the same time)

Tomb

14 Dec 16 1 #74

That's 2 x £50 refunds showing up on my online statement for my 2 x (separate) transactions.

Happy days.

WalterSmith

14 Dec 16 #75

Did you not get blocked for potential fraud?

This must ring alarm bells in their system!

Munnan

16 Dec 16 #77

Hey all, is this over now? I cant see it in my account.

Munnan

16 Dec 16 #78

Hey Dude, congrats!

How will you submit the cashback request to nikon? Will they accept multiple £150 receipts?

morgie

16 Dec 16 #79

You'll get one receipt showing the items and line items for £150 from Jessops, but multiple card receipts. Imagine that'd be fine.

Dogbizkits

16 Dec 16 1 #80

Exactly this. I need to show my purchase receipt and completed warranty cards for each. The purchase receipt only has one line showing the camera and then how I paid for it on it, all on one receipt - so should be pretty easy to submit. If they really want to see the individual card payments too I have them separately, but I'm not sure this will make any difference - as I still bought the camera however I paid for it!

You just have to upload pictures of them to the Nikon website to claim the cashback, so even if they do want to see them all its only a 5 min job for £165 back!

zorbathegeek

17 Dec 16 #81

So if I applied for an Amex card today there'd be absolutely no chance of getting it in time to use it for this deal?

mspychala

17 Dec 16 1 #82

Depends on how quickly you'd get accepted. Then this offer still need to appear on your account.

I'd give it a go. Next offer comes in January and you would be regretting not having one in your wallet :wink:

Munnan

17 Dec 16 #83

This is such an awesome deal! I just saved £150 plus £100 Panasonic cash back on my new GX80! Got the camera with kit lens for £250 which is an absolute steal! Tempted to get lenses now!

zorbathegeek

17 Dec 16 #84

might as well give it a go then!

Can I ask which card qualifies, there's a few on the Amex site?

edit: google says amex basic will work but you can't apply online, only the fee paying cards have that option. :laughing:

kebl2555

17 Dec 16 #85

My GoPro Hero 5 Black will work out at about £215 after a price match, splitting the transactions and getting some quidco by ordering to pick up in store. Also have pre-ordered in store a GoPro Karma grip which they were able to take payment for now and split across two transactions (plus a battery to take it over £300).

morgie

17 Dec 16 #86

Nice. Where did you get them to price match? I'm tempted to get the Session plus some batteries or something small to tip it just over £150 before cashback.

kebl2555

18 Dec 16 1 #87

It was £325 at Amazon and Halfords a couple of days ago so I called my local Jessops to ask if they would price match. They agree despite the fact it is not on their list of companies they price match against. I then ordered one for store collection so hopefully I'll get the quidco on that, then purchased in store with the agreed match then calculated. I had already bought a Session bundle but decided to return this upgrade so just paid the difference which meant I received £50 off from the original Session purchase plus another £50 when buying the Hero 5 Black.

morgie

18 Dec 16 #88

Thanks. Amex may claw back that first £50 credit.

brown_ambassador

20 Dec 16 #89

Woo hoo! I did a £1200+ transaction at the weekend split into £150 chunks - got the emails, just waiting for the credits to show up!

musehead

20 Dec 16 #90

Why would they? It explicitly says in the terms "Offer valid every time". Almost every other Amex cashback offer says "Valid once per Card" so it's clearly not an oversight. I and many other have had multiple £50 cashbacks from this.

Bossworld

20 Dec 16 #91

I genuinely can't think of anything to buy that maximises the value of this offer.

Currently got an EOS-M but the M10 looks a sideways step at best.

Doesn't look like they sell accessories for the TomTom Bandit, and they only have a very small selection of dash cams.

Probably ideal if you were after a camera lens anyway.

Cheers for the heads up

Caconym

20 Dec 16 #92

I note that you've bought in another thread. You weren't tempted to wait for the sales then?

WalterSmith

20 Dec 16 #93

Does Amex not clamp down on this as potential fraud ... looking to bag a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2000 which is £1099 so that's 7 chunks and £350 Potential back.

Are Jessops staff OK keeping hitting your Amex Card for £150 at a time?

morgie

20 Dec 16 #94

There was no clear conclusion if they'd start in the week after xmas but before New Year's Eve when this deal ends, so yeah I decided to bite the bullet....a few times :laughing:

morgie

20 Dec 16 #95

It's seemed fine for most people. I did 6 transactions over 3 cards, no problem.

joebot

20 Dec 16 #96

Did this on the 19th in Bromley: bought an EOS 80D, split over 7 transactions, all on the same card. I received all 7 redemption e-mails from Amex immediately, but the £350 cashback has yet to show up.

Unfortunately it looks like some higher management within Jessops have realised how much cashback they're offering here, and their staff have been instructed not to allow this any more. They might make an exception if you ask nicely / threaten to walk away. They very kindly did for me, but I'm not holding my breath until I see the cashback on my statement!

morgie

20 Dec 16 #97

The 19/12, that was only yesterday(!) - I wouldn't expect to see your credit in your account a day later. You had the tracking emails, give it a few days for the credit. I purchased last Thursday and the credit appeared on my account yesterday.

I don't see the link from your first statement to the above. Have you heard something about them not splitting transactions?

morgie

20 Dec 16 #98

A new lens for your camera? (They're interchangeable right). The Go Pro Session (4) is £149 with a free selfie stick this week. You can probably talk them into a slight discount on it and include a memory card to tip it over £150 spent, £100 after the cashback.

joebot

20 Dec 16 1 #99

Yep, wasn't expecting it to have appeared yet, just saying what's happened so far.
Yes, the store's manager (or sales team leader?) explained this to me. Don't remember his exact words, but they've been specifically told not to allow multiple transactions on one card for the purposes of this offer. Splitting over multiple cards shouldn't be a problem.

morgie

20 Dec 16 #100

That's a shame.....hope some can still make the most of it. "Don't ask, don't get" situation I guess.

WalterSmith

20 Dec 16 #101

Ahhhh, gawds, knew this was too good to be true, sounds like "the games a bogey"!

Bossworld

20 Dec 16 1 #102

I think it's probably a sign I don't need anything else :smiley: Just seems a shame to miss out on a 33% off type of deal.

morgie

20 Dec 16 #103

Just phone ahead to a store, they can only say no. I made a second purchase this Sunday and had nothing mentioned or any issues, I've found their staff to be really helpful.

joebot

20 Dec 16 1 #104

It's always worth a try. In my experience their staff tend to be quite decent and willing to help out.

brown_ambassador

20 Dec 16 2 #105

Not aware this violates the T&Cs, and the Jessops store I called ahead and went to, the manager was fine to put it through - max 10 payments per transaction he said

Mada06

20 Dec 16 #106

I don't think it will take Einstein to work out why this deal won't be repeated next year after it's been abused so much. Shame on the greedy people breaking this up in to multiple transactions.

morgie

20 Dec 16 1 #107

It probably won't be repeated as it's timing now is due to Jessops just starting to take Amex. The deal was for multiple use, I don't think asking to split transactions to make the most of it, when the retailer offers this ability anyway, is anything to feel shame about and I don't see it as abuse.

joebot

20 Dec 16 1 #108

Agree entirely. They could easily have attached a condition to this offer, say one qualifying transaction per card per day. Nothing to be ashamed of.

paul.jacobs

21 Dec 16 #109

I bought a go pro the other day, the two transactions are showing as pending, no sign of the two £50 cashbacks yet. Anyone had the £50 credits yet?

morgie

21 Dec 16 #110

Yes, people have had their credits. What day did you buy and did you receive confirmation emails? It takes a few days for the cashback to show. If you received your confirmation emails I'd think you'll be fine.

paul.jacobs

21 Dec 16 #111

Monday, had the emails. Just wondering as I'm tempted to buy something else I don't need!!!
Don't want to be lumbered with something at full price.

Munnan

21 Dec 16 #112

Hey just to update all of you, I received my £150 cashback today for the 3x £150 transactions last Saturday! Happy days! The manager first hesitated but allowed it when I pushed. So dont give up!

morgie

I'd think you'd be fine, but you have time to wait to see the credit in your account before making your next purchase.

Does this work for non-UK Amex cards?

morgie

22 Dec 16 #116

No, you won't have been able to save the offer.

Personally I wouldn't touch Jessops with a barge pole. It was only a few years ago when they went into liquidation and screwed people over with vouchers that they'd bought in good faith. They upset alot of people!

Oh wells, the staff at Jessops told me that the £50 cash back will work at Amex end. I was in store purchasing my lens. Perhaps I should try calling Amex.

Well don't buy anything then... What a completely pointless post.

That article is from 2013! It was acquired by Peter Jones shortly after.

Went for it, thanks to Jessops Staff for your patience. 2nd person to take advantage of splitting the payment in the shop I collected from. I have the e-mails, now to await the credits.

.. or Jessops going into liquidation (Where do they get these folks from FFS)

For anyone looking for Sony E mount lenses, SEL50F18 is currently for £108 at John Lewis. Presumably Jessops will price match and with Amex credit and £20 cashback from Sony this will only cost £110. Result.

Note this is APSC lens not full frame.

Edit: it's £180 not £108.

morgie

23 Dec 16 #125

Is there a typo somewhere above? If they price match to £108 you will need to buy something else for at least £42 to meet the £150 spend for the Amex cashback of £50.

nnj10

23 Dec 16 1 #126

Sorry yes there is a typo. It's £180 not £108.

So 180-50-20=110.

Purchase made on the 19th, £350 cashback credited today (23rd). Very pleased! :smile:

Had a single £100 credit today on my account from purchase in the 19th. Plus £8 quidco tracked and £1.74 Amex cashback. Brings the gopro down to £239 plus a free bluetooth selfie stick.

Need to see what else I don't need before the offer finishes

Anyone confirm this is still working? Last comment was 2 days ago so before I drop in tomorrow want to make sure it's still under 50,000 people.

27 Dec 16 2 #131

As long as you managed to load it to your card from your online account, you'd be fine - coz if they have already exhausted the limit it doesn't let you add an offer to your card anymore. Good luck..

karl.pestell

27 Dec 16 1 #132

Good point and yes it still loaded about 20 mins ago.

I'll call the shop tomorrow about their willingness to split the bill three times

my purchase on 23rd generated instance Amex tracking emails. but my purchase on the 24th has not triggered a tracking email yet, anyone else encountered this?

WalterSmith

27 Dec 16 1 #134

Checked my AMEX account online after my 22nd Dec split purchase and I see "Jessops Offer" cashback of £350! Delighted!!

morgie

27 Dec 16 #135

Not had this on my purchases, but then I didn't purchase on the 24/12. Hopefully all ok, maybe just a bit slower or you'll get no email but it will pay out. If not customer service will sort you out I'm sure.

nelson1j

27 Dec 16 #136

Would be interested to know when you get a tracking email as I won't bother if the offer has been pulled. Cheers

So I've just been to Jessops in Merry Hill and have been advised that they do not accept Amex cards at their store. What a wasted trip that was... so much for an 80d.

karl.pestell

27 Dec 16 #138

I've purchased a 700d from Canterbury today and already got the email. My worry is I have only got one and split the purchase over 3 payments.

Looks to still be working but hoping the splitting trick still works

karl.pestell

27 Dec 16 1 #139

Ignore that!!! Just got the other 2 emails so all three tracked so now to wait for the money.

Very happy providing they pay!!!

morgie

27 Dec 16 #140

Very odd. Amex is new to Jessops, hence this promotion.

wingman0401

27 Dec 16 #141

Yeah, I was pretty perplexed. I guess I was unfortunate in that I got served by a member of staff who didn't have the initiative to try it out.

I've tweeted Jessops for clarification, just to make sure they don't have some bias against some stores accepting some cards...

But, I can't really see that being the case.

nnj10

28 Dec 16 #142

Hope Amex extend this offer by another week or so.

Mada06

28 Dec 16 #143

Why didn't you ask to speak to the manager and get them to either try or escalate further?

wingman0401

28 Dec 16 #144

The store was quite busy and he was the only member of staff I could see working, in hindsight I should have pushed further, of course, but at the time I just took his word for it.

A bit annoying, really. I should've pushed more. The next time I can go is on Saturday and that's the last day of the promotion. I'm a bit worried that if I do it on that day, that if there are any delays with applying it to my account, I'll lose out.

morgie

28 Dec 16 #145

As long as your spend is made on the 31/12 you'll be fine. If you're buying in store this is seen instantly by Amex and you should receive the tracking email. Cashback will then appear after the promotion has ended, that's 'normal' They have a clause about it potentially taking 4 to 8 weeks or something silly but I've never had to wait longer than 5 business days for any cashback for an Amex offer to show in my account after spending.

nnj10

28 Dec 16 #146

Has anyone managed to use multiple Amex cards online? Possibly by chatting with online help?

ScoobyDoobyDoo

28 Dec 16 #147

Used online help but they say its not possible to use multiple cards online

stubbadub

28 Dec 16 1 #148

Just to update. My 10 transactions on Christmas Eve have been paid. £500 credit to my account.

ScoobyDoobyDoo

28 Dec 16 #149

How easy was it to split transactions?

How do you convince Jessops to let you split transactions, what's reason do you give?

I want to try it today on the way home from work, any advice on the approach greatly appreciated.

thanks

morgie

28 Dec 16 #150

Very easy, staff seemed more than happy to help (max 10 separate transactions - which is a system limit they have). Only remember one mention of this thread or one that spun off with a separate deal where staff seemed slightly reluctant. I explained it was to benefit from an Amex offer, normally the easiest way, but even before than point they didn't seem to think it was that odd to want to split transactions.

WalterSmith

28 Dec 16 1 #151

The staff where I got my camera from, Edinburgh, were totally fine about splitting the bill ... LOL

I was the 2nd person who had asked.

I got 7 e-mails on my phone whilst in the store. 5 days later I see £350 credited to my AMEX.

To only have 600 degrees heat for this thread is a joke. One of the best deals I've had from Hotukdeals in all my years!

morgie

28 Dec 16 1 #152

I'll transfer you that fiver later!

:smile:

paul.jacobs

28 Dec 16 #153

Whats the max number of transactions someone has done on a single card, only asking as my mastercard stops if I do too much shopping some days, very annoying

WalterSmith

28 Dec 16 #154

7 for me

WalterSmith

28 Dec 16 #155

That's why I asked earlier in the thread about why cards don't get blocked after a few transations in a few mins ... Capital One would have done that!

However AMEX seemed happy to allow my card to be charged 157x7 in 7 mins ... Happy Days!

karl.pestell

29 Dec 16 #156

Above seems to suggest 10 is the max imposed by Jessops... Amex don't care what you spend. I used to put £000's through on my card for work and it was never declined, even when travelling to random places around the world, never an issue.

My MasterCard is a different story and been blocked about 5 times.

twinkle

29 Dec 16 #157

Mine was blocked after 4

Bossworld

29 Dec 16 #158

Just looked in store and there's even less stuff I could buy, think I'll sit an Amex offer out for once

footiechic05

30 Dec 16 #159

Is the Lloyds American Express cards transactions supported by the cashback anyone tried it?

morgie

30 Dec 16 #160

Things are still as the OP...

If you can't save the offer you're kinda stuck.

mspychala

30 Dec 16 1 #161

What to buy!? :smiley:

ScoobyDoobyDoo

31 Dec 16 #162

Once the Jessops transactions appear on your Amex statement, how soon does the cashback get credited back to the account?

morgie

31 Dec 16 #163

Roughly 3 business days from my experience and I believe others on here. Might take a bit longer at the moment due to the public holidays. They do say it can take up to 8 weeks or something, but I've never had to wait beyond a week for any Amex offer to credit.

WalterSmith

31 Dec 16 1 #164

5 days from start to finish.

Last day of a FAN Bloody Tastic deal.

karl.pestell

31 Dec 16 1 #165

Mine was paid today, £150 back from the transaction on Tuesday.

Now to see how much these latest SLR's have changed from my 10 year old Sony... I think I have a bit to learn.

morgie

31 Dec 16 2 #166

Glad that this proved a useful deal and a big saver for those who could take advantage. Still available online up to midnight I guess if there's anything at that sweet spot of £150! Jessops staff seem to have been excellent from my personal experience and it seems a lot of the posters here. Lots of product knowledge coupled with good customer service. I'm sure they'll now be happy to not have quite as many requests to split transactions :laughing: Enjoy your photography in 2017!

Big thanks to poster, saved to an ex then returned xmas eve purchase split over 8 transactions £400 saved :smiley:

Thanks, best deal i've noticed on here for a long time, possibly ever! Strange that it remained fairly low profile.

Got £650 worth of new GoPro gear (including Karma Grip) for £450, split over 4 transactions. The Karma Grip probably won't be significantly discounted anywhere for a long time so a particularly excellent deal on that.

twinkle

4 Jan 17 3 #169

Amex have been great with this deal....wasn't on my card but I messaged them to ask why and a very nice chap manually added it to my offers so I just got in on the 31st.

katquinn82

4 Jan 17 #170

Anyone else waiting for cash back to credit with Amex, I had 8 confirmation emails immediately after purchase but no sign of the credit as yet (transaction on 31/12)

morgie

4 Jan 17 #171

I would think it's normal to still be waiting from them due to the public holidays. Hopefully it'll show up tomorrow or Friday for you.

mnneast

4 Jan 17 #172

I purchased my camera on the 31/12 and my cashback was paid today! 4 transactions ( 2 Amex cards)

katquinn82

4 Jan 17 #173

Thanks, checked again after reading that as same purchase date as me £400 credited, was starting to worry about next months pay check already! Can stop worrying now :smiley:
