    After some small hassle I got mine and my wifes £25 amazon vouchers.

    But for anyone who also tried it, it seems theres another £15 available as when you make your first purchase with your amazon card on amazon, they will send this out to you.

    could we really get £40 in all?
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"
  • I had too many hassles in getting my Amazon vouchers (for Amazon Master card)...waited for approx 2months after I got my first statement.

    Then I just wrote them a letter.. they sent me £25 Gift voucher as goodwill gesture and then the £15 as per the offer.
    I am still waiting for the additional £10 for spending before xmas :)

  • I wish to apply for the Amex Nectar card; with the hope of getting 6000 free points added to my nectar card. Does anyone know if i will succeed in doing this if I APPLY for the card before 31 March, or if my APPLICATION IS APPROVED before 31 March. Articles I have read on this are very ambiguous.
  • Is the BMI credit card offer still working, and will it allow me to book a return flight to Malaga in the school holidays with the 20,000 points?

    I assume I still have to pay taxes, but at the moment a flight is showing at around the £200 mark.

    Ideally, I'd want to apply for 5 cards (one for each of my travelling party) and get free flights for them all.

    Is there a flaw in my plan?!

    Yes it is still current.

    The flaw:(

    'Award' travel i.e 'free' seats are not available on all flights and not surprisingly they are rare on popular routes and dates (Spain and the school hols:eek:)

    So getting even one is a challenge never mind 5.

    I've just checked LHR to Alicante and there seem to be no award seats in any month.
    Mind you the BMI web-site is flaky at the best of times

    Also the taxes and fees take a serious chunk of money making the effort not really worth while.

    I'd still go for the 5 cards though as you can think up a better strategy whilst you're waiting for the miles.;)

    Folks, what is the best credit card to collect airmiles on please?
    I have never ever ever ever ever had a credit card in my life, but I do now need one to help me with my business. And the thing that interests me is airmiles, I have an airmiles account and would like to use a credit card that links in to it if thats possible?

    Cheers folks

    Yes the offer is still on, I applied about a week ago and the agent confirmed the offer was still a goer. Sorry I can't help you with your other questions but good luck on on getting freebies for your party.

    I have a question too, do you have to spend on the BMI Classic card to activate the miles? and if so how much?
