Using Amex UK 10% discount offer

Has anyone managed to get the Amex UK 10% discount offer to work? I received it via email this afternoon and the terms seem pretty flexible (includes Business flex bookings among others) but when I try to enter the code on the Advanced Search page it rejects it. My dates are in the offer range and I am starting from the UK, as required.

There doesnt seem to be anywhere else to enter the promo code other than that page.

Is it a targeted/unique code, or generic? I know with the MBNA codes, you had to enter one generic code to open up another box to enter the unique code.

Well, all I can say is that it doesn't work for me either. Pretty poor.

i wonder if this is why the sudden increase in fares, expecially for UK to Asia. almost a 25% increase! So a saving isn't great compared to fares 6 months ago...... but still a saving i guess...

I think it only works for the Amex account holders, ie if you have a Lloyds Bank Amex card it will not work

You don't even get as far as entering payment details.
