Manufactured spending
A question not about stoozing per se, but I suspect stoozers will be in the know if there are options out there. I just moved to the UK from the US.

Amex Preferred Rewards Gold Card
Took an Amex Preferred Rewards Gold Card out a couple of months ago aiming to get 20,000 points by spending £2k in the first 3 months, which I would then exchange for a £100 Amazon gift voucher.
