How Amex Offers work

Anyone with an American Express credit or charge card can take advantage of Amex Offers, including those provided by third party partners like Barclays, Lloyds, MBNA and TSB.

You need to log into your American Express online account or mobile app, select the offers you are interested in and click ‘Save to Card’.

Then you just need to shop and make eligible purchases in store or online to get the statement credit on your account.

You’ll need to pay for the purchase wholly with your American Express card in order to qualify and each offer is only valid once per card.

The top American Express cards to go for

If you're not already an American Express cardholder, it's worth taking a closer look at its cards. Here are some of our favourites.

The American Express Platinum Cashback Everyday Credit Card offers 5% cashback on up to £2,000 worth of spending during your first three months with the card. Thereafter you can earn tiered rates from 0.5% to 1.25% on all your purchases.

If you’re happy to pay a £25 annual fee you can get 5% cashback on purchases up to £2,500 in your first three months and 1.25% cashback on all spending thereafter with the American Express Platinum Cashback Credit Card.

But if you’re more interested in airmiles there’s the British Airways American Express Credit Card. It offers 9,000 bonus Avios when you spend £1,000 in your first three months and you can earn one Avios for every £1 you spend.

For a £150 fee you can get much more form the British Airways American Express Premium Plus Credit Card. It offers a whopping 25,000 bonus Avios when you spend £3,000 in your first three months and you can earn 1.5 Avios for every £1 you spend.

Another rewarding option is the American Express Nectar Credit Card. It offers 20,000 bonus Nectar points when you spend £2,000 in the first three months. You’ll also collect two Nectar points for every £1 spent on the card. The card usually attracts a £25 annual fee, but for the first year you can get it free.
