Wow this can be an amazing offer for people with a high spend, I only just noticed this thread, I'm surprised the offer hasn't been flagged up more heavily!
Now I just need to time my application to minimise the period between applying and picking up my card when I am home at Christmas!
I hope I can maintain my current £3k+/month spend for the next quarter, if so its Happy days!
P.S Most of my spend is overseas, but I think the chances of getting 25 points per £ is highly unlikely!! No mention of it in the T&Cs
