Hi Rich,

I'd say it would be better value if you obtained a referral to apply for the Platinum Charge Card, assuming you don't already have a Members Reward card.
That is 42,000 points for £300, although you do need to spend £1,500 on the card in the first 3 months.

I'm happy to refer you of course
