Membership Rewards/Amex

If this sounds familiar, that is because we covered the same offer on the Amex Gold and Platinum a few weeks ago.

There's a 1,000,000 Avios top prize and a further 25 prizes of 100,000 Avios each up for grabs. 25 years of British Airways American Express cards These cards have been around longer than some of you, and to commemorate that, British Airways and American Express

We've been writing Points Well Made for over a year now and I haven't really told you much about myself. Perhaps it's time to fix that with explaining how I found myself in the points world, and how that led to us starting Points Well Made. There's a standard points-blog origin story. City job, corporate travel, expensive American Express. Mine doesn't really go like that. I don't work in London, and I don't travel for work. Also, my first American Express was a free one. So

It's been a busy few weeks for card offers. Amex has refreshed both Gold and Platinum. The Marriott Bonvoy Amex is back at triple. Virgin Money has doubled both Virgin Atlantic cards. Hilton has refreshed both debit cards with a boosted bonus on the Plus. Five separate articles in three weeks felt like enough excuse to pull them into one place. Here's a quick rundown on the rewards cards with offers, with the full breakdowns linked if you want to look further into any of them

American Express has brought back the tripled welcome bonus on the Marriott Bonvoy Card, offering 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points when you spend £3,000 in the first three months.

British Airways has now confirmed the full details of this year's tier point earning offer for Premium Plus cardholders, and the good news is that the structure is identical to last year. Enrol by 25 January 2027 and spend by 1 February 2027 to earn up to 2,500 British Airways Club tier points on card spend.

If you missed this the first time round, you are forgiven. American Express has once again launched boosted supplementary card bonuses for Gold and Platinum holders, but you would not know it unless you went digging. We buried it inside our article on the new March 2026 sign-up bonuses , so it deserves its own moment in the spotlight. This is one of the easiest piles of Membership Rewards points you will ever pick up. No spending target. No extra annual fee. Just add a card a

American Express reintroduced minimum income requirements for its UK credit cards back in 2023, after several years of taking a more holistic view of applicants' finances. Between 2016 and 2023, Amex looked at the broader picture. Household income, the gap between what you earned and what you spent, your overall financial health. A single person living at home on £25,000 was treated very differently to someone earning £35,000 with a mortgage and two kids. It made sense. But A
