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

"Why do you have an Amex? Not many places take those!" Heard that one before? As much as I would like to say it's not true, there is a kernel of truth to it. So if you're looking to collect as many Avios as possible, you'll probably already have a British Airways Amex, but you'll want a backup card that earns Avios too. In the UK that means Barclaycard, with your choice either of: Barclaycard Avios is free. It earns 1 Avios per £1, gives you 5,000 Avios when you spend £1,000

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

It's Wednesday 7th October. We should be getting excited for Halloween, or enjoying a crisp Autumn day. Instead, we're all waking up depressed and angry because today is the day that the changes to the British Airways Premium Plus American Express Card have officially kicked in. I am being over-dramatic here as I am often want to do, but I think it is warranted. We told you this was coming back in July, but now it's real. If you skipped the July warnings, or you just want the

We've got a couple of transfer bonuses to bring you today. First, American Express are running a 40% transfer bonus into Hilton Honors points which takes it to levels you should actually be interested in. Second, you can get up to a 35% bonus into Avios via Qatar Airways Privilege Club. Just to be clear and break it up from the Hilton offer, this is not from American Express to Qatar Airways (sorry, the headline can only be so long). Instead it is from ALL Accor, Shangri-La C

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
