American Express sign-up bonuses are some of the most valuable in the UK miles and points world. Whether you’re chasing Avios for long-haul flights, Membership Rewards points for flexibility, or hotel points for luxury stays, Amex welcome offers can unlock thousands of pounds of travel value. However, many applicants are surprised to find they’re not eligible for a bonus, even though they’re approved for the card. The reason almost always comes down to American Express’ 24-mo

Using American Express dining credits if you hold the Platinum Card should be straightforward, but in practice many cardholders find the Amex website awkward to use when trying to locate eligible restaurants.

But what if you could pay your rent using a credit card instead? Depending on your card and circumstances, this could mean earning points, or working towards perks like a companion voucher.

Cute concept, not us! But we do love nice food, and better than that, we love food where we don't have to pay!  Queue one of the best perks of the Platinum American Express Card. The annual dining credit. Giving cardmembers the chance to enjoy world-class meals at a wide range of participating restaurants, and with £400 in statement credits available every year, split into £100 for use abroad and £100 for use in the UK every six mo

If you’re loyal to American Express and love earning points on every purchase, there’s nothing more deflating than hearing the dreaded line: “We don’t take Amex.” It happens far more often than any of us would like, whether you’re at a restaurant, a shop, or even certain online retailers.
