When a Cardmember books a restaurant reservation through amextoptreats.co.uk and makes a transaction using their American Express® Card at the booked restaurant by midnight on 31 March 2012, they will earn double Rewards points at double the usual rate for the Card and/or in the enrolled reward currency associated with that Card. American Express® Charge Cards will receive Membership Rewards Points, Harrods Cards will receive Harrods Rewards points, Nectar Credit Cards will receive Nectar points, British Airways American Express® Cards will receive Avios, American Express® Credit Cards will receive either Membership Rewards Points, cashback or Blue Sky points (depending on enrolled currency), BMA Services American Express® Credit Cards will receive cashback. Virgin Atlantic American Express®; Credit Cards from MBNA will receive Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles, bmi American Express® Credit Cards from MBNA will receive bmi destinations miles, Miles & More American Express® Credit Cards from MBNA will receive Miles & More award miles, MBNA American Express® Credit Cards will receive MBNA Reward Points, United Mileage Plus American Express® Credit Cards from MBNA will receive United Mileage Plus miles, MBNA American Express® Credit Card with cash will receive cash back and Lloyds TSB Avios Duo American Express® Cards will receive Avios.
I'm still in my first Lloyds billing cycle so will be interested to see how these appear. but it will be interesting to see if they double my 10x bonus or the base purchase amount!! I may be tempted by dessert now, as long as I'm not running late for the
Opera!
Did you ever get the double points, ie: 25 per £ for your booking?
I made a booking on 30/03/2012 and the points didn't come through on the current LTSBPDA statement
They are normally a bit slow even with the BAPP, but I'm
wondering if certain that Lloyds staff
will will not know about this if I call to query if they don't come through on the next statement.
Sadly,
http://www.amextoptreats.co.uk still says "
Earn double points when you book and pay with your American Express card" on the front page, yet the T+C's still say "midnight on 31 March 2012"
Has it been extended but they just forgot to update the website? or did they just "forget" to turn the website off?
I'm bored and mildly sozzled so I'll probably give BAPP a call in a moment and ask them
Edit: Called and pointed out that the website still says double points yet the T+C say no and was told they could not see anything about it being extended so if I did make a booking on there I would not get double points
They thanked me for pointing it out to them said they would make the marketing department aware.
I asked to get a call back once the marketing department responded.
I will keep FT posted as usual if they get back to me
