Membership Rewards/Amex

American Express has launched new limited-time sign-up offers on its Platinum and Gold Cards, running until 12 January 2027. We'll start with the headline addition. Amex is adding Selfridges eGift Cards worth up to £150 on top of boosted Membership Rewards points, just as the festive shopping period approaches. It has also sweetened its Invite a Friend referral programme for both those who are referring, or have been referred. The business versions of both cards get new offer

American Express is changing how Priority Pass lounge access works on the UK Platinum Card. From 1 January 2028, most cardholders will get a fixed number of free visits each year rather than unlimited entry. Spend enough, and you keep the unlimited access. Nothing changes yet. Your current Priority Pass access stays as it is throughout 2026 and 2027. What is changing with Amex Platinum Priority Pass access? From 1 January 2028, Platinum Cardmembers will receive a limited numb

If you hold an American Express Platinum Card, there are three new benefits that have been added to your card today. lululemon: £75 back, twice a year, when you spend £150 or more Oura: £150 back, once a year, when you spend £300 or more on an Oura Ring Calm: a free Calm Premium subscription, normally £49.99 a year All three of these new benefits run until 19 October 2029, so they'll at least be with us for three years. This brings the UK version of the Platinum card into clo

You'll get Hilton Honors Gold if you take out either the Hilton Honors Plus debit card or the Amex Platinum, but is it any good? Over this series we're going to go through the five complimentary hotels statues bundled into the Amex Platinum's £650 annual fee, because it's easy to let them sit unused in your account without ever working out what they're actually worth. First up is Hilton Honors Gold, and there's one reason Hilton Gold stands apart from the others: Breakfast. Y

I'm a big fan of this announcement. Terminal 5 has frankly always been rubbish for non-BA lounges, with just the pokey Club Aspire lounge for those of us not able to access the Galleries lounge. In recent weeks we had confirmation that the Club Aspire lounge will be renovated, expanded, and turned into a No. 1 lounge, so that's one tick. Now we have confirmation that American Express is going to open one of its Centurion Lounges in Terminal 5. This will be the second Centurio

If you've been sitting on the fence about applying for either the British Airways Premium Plus American Express, or the free British Airways American Express, now's the time to hop off it. The enhanced welcome bonuses on both the free card and the Premium Plus card end on 6th October 2026, which gives you just one week left to apply. Here's what you need to know. Just a quick heads-up: Points Well Made is here to dish out the juicy details on miles and points, but we're not y

American Express has re-launched its supplementary card bonus offer, and the rewards on several cards are higher than usual. If you hold a card that qualifies and have never added a supplementary card, this is one of the simplest ways to boost your points balance this year. What is an Amex supplementary card? A supplementary card is an additional card issued on your existing Amex account, usually for a partner or family member. The card is tied to the main cardholders spend a

By now I'm sure you know the BA Premium Plus Amex is having its Avios earn rate trimmed, from 1.5 Avios per £1 down to 1.25 from 7 October, with the 3 Avios earn rate on BA and BA Holidays spend also being reduced down to 1.25 Avios per £1 spent. Whilst the cuts to the Avios earn rate captured most of our attention as points collectors, it is the other half of the announcement that I want to bring your focus towards. Amex isn't just taking Avios away with the change to the BA

In the latest instalment of the ongoing run of 25th anniversary activity from Amex and BA, we have three new Avios offers to load to your British Airways American Express cards. Admittedly this isn't as exciting as a bargain Avios-only flight to New York, but at least this one won't be horrifically oversubscribed... There's a route to bonus Avios for all British Airways American Express cardholders, whether that's through hotels, everyday shopping or a wine delivery. Here's h

If you've been sitting on the fence about applying for either the British Airways Premium Plus American Express, or the free British Airways American Express, today's news should give you a little "boost" to want to. The welcome bonuses, for both the free card and the Premium Plus card, have been enhanced, and are currently running until 6th October 2026. Here's what you need to know before these offers skip away from you. Just a quick heads-up: Points Well Made is here to di
