Just to clarify that slightly, the requirement is to spend >£500 in each of the first three months, with the miles credited in month 4. So a single £1500 transaction wouldn't do. But if you can pay your monthly council tax/utility bills on the Mastercard, then it should be easy to achieve without paying too much attention.
