I've chatted with the Amex customer services guys and they've said that I'll need the £835 to have cleared pending and to appear on my card balance today. Is there a merchant who will do that? I've already got a pending transaction on my account that would trigger the voucher, but I don't think it'll post by close of business today. If it makes a difference, I'm in the US on business at the moment.

Thanks in advance for any bright ideas!
