AMEX customer service team has confirmed that you can only claim a max of £50 under one single card, so unless you have multiple AMEX cards this won't work if you split the transactions into several chunks

Nice camera, good price, but having worked for Jessops I'd never buy anything from them.

"all stores seem to be very happy to split transactions and all expected cashback has tracked and been paid out." ...wow
"Customer Service will tend to put anything right if you've met the conditions and something didn't track correctly"... do I explain I bought one item but got the store to process as 3 payments to enable multiple claims ?
I might run it past AMEX customer service beforehand - they are usually pretty reliable

Great deal if you are a member of Gamblers Anonymous ... the bonus is, the cleaning tissues can be used to cry into, when you don't get the two extra £50 cashbacks

From the original deal thread and some others like this that have been posted all stores seem to be very happy to split transactions and all expected cashback has tracked and been paid out. Amex deals are very reliable and their Customer Service will tend to put anything right if you've met the conditions and something didn't track correctly. All of my cashback came through in a few days as expected.

Thanks for speaking with them. Did you speak to someone in Brighton or India? Their advice really doesn't sound right based on the wording on the Amex offer. Has anyone tried the same card multiple times yet? I've asked over in the main Amex deal thread too.

Read the Amex terms and conditions! £50 off £150 is the offer, use as many times as u like.

Are you serious with that fraud rubbish?
AMEX are offering £50 cashback if you spend £150 or more at Jessops.
If you went to Jessops with your two or three AMEX cards and bought gift cards for £150 each on separate transactions then would that be fraud too?
Fraud by false representation (Section 2)
The defendant:
made a false representation
dishonestly
knowing that the representation was or might be untrue or misleading
with intent to make a gain for himself or another, to cause loss to another or to expose another to risk of loss.
The offence is entirely focused on the conduct of the defendant.
Fraud by failing to disclose information (Section 3)
The defendant:
failed to disclose information to another person
when he was under a legal duty to disclose that information
dishonestly intending, by that failure, to make a gain or cause a loss.
Like Section 2 (and Section 4) this offence is entirely offender focussed. It is complete as soon as the Defendant fails to disclose information provided he was under a legal duty to do so, and that it was done with the necessary dishonest intent. It differs from the deception offences in that it is immaterial whether or not any one is deceived or any property actually gained or lost.

Has anyone had confirmation this works? Normally when redeeming these types of offer you get an email saying thanks for using it. I would imagine you would get 3 seperate ones.
wolfraider to mrahman136
12 Dec 162#46
Yes it works. Whoever said it wouldn't probably don't have an Amex or don't know how to shop. I got confirmation emails and showing on my Amex account. Thanks OP... Heat!

11 Dec 16#44
obviously you have worked in pretty much every shop.. oh wait!
have had to get refunds/exchanges as separate transactions many times in the past - i assume as they go to 'different pages' on their performance/balance sheets
MysticalUndies
11 Dec 16#43
I don't know of any shops that would refund the 3 items if your getting an item to the same value of the 3 you are returning. The till system just refunds the difference or requires you pay the difference depending on whether the exchange item is more or less expensive. This is called an exchange, not a refund. So it would still work. Amex have no idea you've returned anything.

Would be a good deal if there were better lenses available. The standard lens is very poor and you need to spend a lot more to get the best from this camera.

I agree. I bought an A6000 second hand and ditched by 70D. I've since replaced the A6000 with the GX80 which has a far bigger range of lenses available.

If Jessops split over three transactions, aren't they helping you to commit fraud?

10 Dec 16#29
How on earth is it fraud? Which party is being defrauded, AMEX or Jessops or both?
MysticalUndies
10 Dec 16#27
If they refuse to do 3 separate transactions then simply buy 3 items that cost 150 quid in 3 transactions then return all 3 of them saying you've changed your mind bit would like another product and replace with the above mentioned camera and a 9.99 payment. Ruin the sale assistant's day while enjoying a bargain.
Mada06 to MysticalUndies
10 Dec 16#28
That won't work as you won't get the £50 when the item is refunded, it's in the terms and conditions.
Why not just be happy that you are getting £50 off rather than taking advantage of the offer like this? It's a bit ridiculous. Jessops will price match and also have other promotions so there is a great opportunity to get a good deal without resorting to breaking this up in to multiple transactions.

not sure id bother with that lens - its the unstabilised FE version and surely be more like 100... if this cashback thing actually works in the end
i was referring to the 'i have the sigma 50mm prime' anyway... more likely the 60mm or 30mm as they both exist natively :wink:

I was referring to the description part -

10 Dec 161#22
great cameras let down very badly by poor expensive lens range &QC) (especially light bright tele) .. and this model still hasn't the ability to set a minimum shutter speed on autoiso (a painful issue for those forced to use manual lenses, shooting in lower light etc) ...
I still have and use a nex5r as a family/travel cam and for this it's great ... but sadly it's never going to displace my nikon dslr/lenses which is a real pity as it easily could have with a better lens range and fixing the auto issue.

If you could actually get this for £300 then I might bite - I've been looking at the Canon M cameras that are dropping in price, but their poor AF performance amoung other things put me off

I have asked for a split transaction in different shops, not tried Jessops though. It's easy enough for them to do it, £50 on one card, £50 on another, £50 cash or whatever. Ever been to a restaurant and had to split the bill? Each person pays £20 on their own card. Or, you buy something with cash but have not got enough so pay some with cash and some on a card.
Why does the shop care? They are making a sale which otherwise they would not get, it might cost them a tiny bit more in transaction fees, depends if it is on a percentage or a fixed amount plus percentage.

I've been confused by this, all of the Jessie's deals people have said ask them to out through separate transactions.
Why would they do this? They are selling one product.
