Membership Rewards/Amex

Congratulations. You've earned two Companion Vouchers from your BA Amex, or you're thinking about pushing for a second, and let's say that you want to book three seats for you, your partner, and a child (other groups of three are available). The logical solution seems obvious: use one voucher for two people (you + partner), use the second voucher for solo travel at 50% off (the child). Three seats, two vouchers, sorted. Except British Airways explicitly prohibits this. You ca

I receive emails all the time regarding different offers from various companies promoting this or that. Well, they've built up and I didn't know what to do with them all (I couldn't even think of a good headline, suggestions in the comments please), so here is a rundown on some of the best offers I've been sent ranging from 45,000 bonus Virgin Points to free Disney dining, 25% off SAS reward flights, discounted Hilton points, and extra Nectar on your eBay shopping, enjoy!

Amex's rules around who gets a welcome bonus aren't complicated. They're just a bit annoying. Income decides which cards you can apply for. The 24-month rule decides which welcome bonuses you'll actually receive. Our Amex eligibility checker handles both, for all nine UK personal Amex cards, in under a minute. How our Amex eligibility checker works Type in your personal income. Tell it whether you've held an Amex in the last 24 months. If you have, tick which ones, mark any s

Your companion voucher is about to expire. You're not going to use it. Maybe life got in the way, maybe you couldn't find availability, maybe you just ran out of time. So can you extend it? Or give it to someone who will use it? Almost certainly not, and no. But there's more to it than that, so let's go through it properly. In this article: Can I extend my companion voucher? What qualifies for an extension? How do I apply for an extension? What if I don't qualify? Does the vo

If this sounds familiar, that is because we covered the same offer on the Amex Gold and Platinum a few weeks ago. Amex has now dished the bonus out to the British Airways American Express cards too, meaning until 30 June 2026, you can earn up to 10,000 bonus Avios just for adding your first supplementary card. What is a supplementary card? A supplementary card is an extra card issued on your existing Amex account for someone else to use, usually a partner or family member. Th

If you hold either of the British Airways American Express cards, there's a new competition in town. British Airways and American Express are continuing to mark 25 years of their partnership with an Avios competition. 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. The offer runs until 26 May 2026. If you are unfamiliar with Marriott Bonvoy points, they are more versatile than most people realise. You can use them for free hotel nights across 37 brands, or you can convert them into airline miles with over 40 different frequent flyer programmes, including Avios an

Yesterday we covered Virgin Atlantic's limited-time Tier Point promotion, which can get the lead booker to Silver (or even Gold) from a single holiday booking. You can read that one here . Turns out the timing wasn't a coincidence, because both British Airways Holidays and American Express have now jumped in with their own spring offers. Here's what's available to you.
