New American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Credit Cardmembers can earn 30,000 Membership Rewards® Points when they sign up and spend £3,000 in the first three months of Cardmembership, thanks to a new limited time offer.
Available from 12 October, 2022, until Tuesday 8 November, 2022, the sign up offer represents a 50% increase on the usual 20,000 points. These points offer exciting rewards, and 30,000 of them could equal £150 in shopping vouchers, or a return flight to a range of European destinations by using points to offset the cost of items purchased.
This sign up offer coincides with the launch of the newly-improved Gold Card on 12 October, 2022, which offers more Cardmembers (new or current) more Membership Rewards points more often, as they spend on the Card. Cardmembers also now get four complimentary airport lounge visits a year – up from two – and benefit from Avis Preferred Plus status to elevate their car hire experience.
More bonus points, more often
As part of the refresh, and separate to the 30,000 sign up bonus above, new and existing Cardmembers will receive a bonus 2,500 Membership Rewards points for every £5,000 of eligible spend on their Gold Card, up to five times per Cardmembership year. Cardmembers can earn up to a maximum of 12,500 Membership Rewards points a year, higher than the previous 10,000 limit, and will no longer need to spend £15,000 to trigger the bonus. *
This will make it easier for more Cardmembers to earn a bonus and mean significantly more Cardmembers will earn more bonus points than previously. Cardmembers will also get to use these points sooner, with bonuses awarded when they are earned, with no waiting until after the end of their Cardmembership year.
On top of the bonus, Cardmembers will also continue to earn 1 Membership Rewards point for every eligible £1 spent on their Card. This means that once the bonus is factored in, Cardmembers could earn up to 1.5 Membership Rewards points for every £1 spent.
As an example, Cardmembers who spend £25,000 during the year will get 37,500 Membership Reward points (12,500 bonus plus 25,000 through spend).
Doubling of complimentary airport lounge visits
American Express is also doubling the number of complimentary Priority Pass airport lounge visits given to Cardmembers each year, from two to four. For Cardmembers travelling with a friend or family member, this means they could now gain access to lounges on their outbound and return journeys.
Priority Pass offers over 1,300 lounges globally, including UK airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester, Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford, East Midlands, Liverpool John Lennon, Newcastle and more. All lounges come with complimentary refreshments, and a large array of seating and workspaces, offering a space to relax pre-flight.
Avis Preferred Plus
Gold Cardmembers who enrol in the Avis Preferred loyalty scheme will receive Avis Preferred Plus status, which includes a complimentary single upgrade when available, as well as a dedicated phone number for reservations and customer support, on top of the wider benefits associated with the loyalty scheme. Cardmembers can visit https://www.avis.co.uk/your-avis/avis-loyalty for more details on Avis Preferred and the Avis Preferred Plus status level.
App launch and other Gold benefits
Gold Cardmembers can download the Amex Experiences App which will feature exclusive Gold Cardmember events, offers, competitions and more.
These new benefits are in addition to all the existing Gold Cardmember benefits, including up to £5 back, twice every month, when ordering dishes via Deliveroo, access to American Express’ ongoing EAT Life programme of food events unique for Gold Cardmembers, and additional benefits at more than 600 hotels worldwide through The Hotel Collection.
The wider benefits of being an American Express Cardmember include access to bespoke Amex Offers, providing exclusive discounts at popular retailers, and American Express® Experiences, which offers unrivalled access to presale tickets, as well as the best seats and exclusive offers at some of the UK’s most sought-after film, music, theatre, dining and entertainment events.
Fee change
The annual fee for the Gold Card will increase from £140 to £160 from 12 October, 2022.
For new Cardmembers joining from 12 October 2022 onwards, the new representative APR will be 69.2%. The APR is influenced by the Card fee as APRs are calculated by adding the interest rate to the Card fee.
