AMEX Cashback Card - How do I get my cash back

in Credit cards
Hi all,

I have just recently got an AMEX Platinum CC - I have £115 of cash back from spending - how do I claim that cash back? I cannot see a way to get it . Does it just come off the total amount or do I transfer it into another account.

Thanks

Sorry if this seems a daft question!

    I think it is just credited to your account after the first anniversary

    Yes you can get the cash back after it's appeared on your statement after 12 months.
    Send them a secure message with you bank sort code and account number and it will be in your bank accout about a week later.

    Do NOT close the card.
    Close it and you lose the cashback.

    Can confirm I've done it very recently (last few weeks).
    Note that it's on the NEXT statement after 12 months, so in reality it's more like 13.
