BOOSTED OFFER: 45k Bonus Points for New Amex Gold Cardholders

For a limited time, new Amex Gold Card users can unlock a huge 45k sign up bonus! You need to either be a new Amex cardholder or haven’t had one in the past 2 years plus you’ll need to spend £5k in the first six months to unlock the bonus.

What can 45k bonus point get me?

You can exchange Amex membership points for Avios at a 1-1 exchange rate, meaning this offer is worth 45k Avios. Alternatively, you could exchange the points for vouchers. 1k points equals a £5 voucher so for 45k points you can get £225 worth of vouchers. This is the equivalent of 4.5% cashback on your £5k spend. PLUS you’ll get the normal 1 point per £ spent so you’ll actually be getting 50k points which is £250 worth of vouchers or 5% cashback. Pretty good!

Other perks

This is a paid card, typically £195 a year but fees are waived for the first year so it comes with some extra perks. You can get £5 Deliveroo credit twice a month PLUS you’ll get 4 airport lounge passes. Win! Just make sure to cancel the card if you don’t want to pay the £195 fee in year two.

Warning!

This is a credit card so you need to pay it off in full to avoid paying extortionate interest rates! The bonus points are not worth getting into debt for. But this is a great way to get rewarded for normal day to day spending.
