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

Membership Rewards points are the backbone of the American Express loyalty ecosystem, and for travellers willing to learn how they work, they can unlock business class seats, five-star hotel nights and round-the-world itineraries that would otherwise cost thousands of pounds. This UK guide for Membership Reward Points covers everything you need to know, what the programme is, which UK cards earn points, how the free rewards card, Platinum and Gold cards compare, and every tra

There is a piece of advice that I really feel like I need to give you, and it's one of the most important things you can do to protect the value of everything you earn. It is this: do not transfer your Amex Membership Rewards points to an airline or hotel programme until you are ready to book something specific. But because it runs counter to the instinct most people have, which is to "lock in" their points somewhere familiar as soon as possible, it is worth explaining exactl

American Express is giving £300 back when you spend £700 or more online at United Airlines, not on United Airlines (more on that below), on bookings made by 23 October 2026, for a ticket departing from a UK airport. This is an exceptionally strong offer, effectively giving you at most 43% off your ticket! I know what some of you are saying, and yes, we have seen this offer before at £350 back on a £700 spend, but I wouldn't be turning this current offer down. If you have not

Earlier in the month, Amex added ALL Accor as a transfer partner allowing you to move and spend your Membership Reward points on hotels with the Accor group. Building on that initial partnership, Accor Gold membership has now been added as a feature for Amex Platinum cardholders. That takes you from four free hotel statuses to five, and it gave us a reason to do something we'd been meaning to anyway: go back through the whole list! So if you're holding the Amex Platinum, here

If you've got an American Express card, thanks to a hefty amount of sponsorship The O2 is one of the better venues in the country to use it. There's a free lounge with a complimentary drink, free bag drop, and a separate enrolment programme that gives you 10% back on food and drink across the arena. Here's how each one works. The Amex Lounge The Amex Lounge sits on the ground floor of The O2 arena. As a cardmember you get: A complimentary drink for the cardmember (one per car

Another week, another cut to your benefits. In December, we lost a chunk of value in the Avios devaluation. In May they raised the taxes and fees for reward flights. Then Friday last week, Amex confirmed it's cutting the earn rate on the Premium Plus card and scrapping the triple Avios on British Airways spend. Now the British Airways American Express Accelerating Business Card is getting an even more brutal cut. Everything below takes effect on 7 October 2026, the same day a
