Amex Preferred Rewards Gold Card sends an email confirmation for each transaction

Can anyone confirm whether this works with the Amex Nectar card. It has let me register it but would like to know whether it has worked for others. Thanks for your help!

Yes, I had my first credit on my nectar amex today

Went wondering around central yesterday a bit, found 3 shops with those stickers - spent 5.80, 8.50 and 15 pounds (restaurant, couldn't spend less:) ), and got 2 emails. So one of them probably didn't participate, even though they had a sticker.

It was quite fun actually looking for those small shops, will definitely do it again


Anywhere I can find a better map with all the shops? That one on their website is very uncomfortable to use..

Yes, it's dreadful.

If I believe the website (which I don't), the offers are restricted to a small area of London in the WC2 and SE1 postcode areas. Any attempt at using the link to refine the search leads to a blank page.

I think a bigger area is available, because once you start dragging the map, once it loads (every time... annoying), new places appear on the map, in the center of it. So I think that there are quite a lot of places in central, that are doing this promotion, but getting them all on the map using that map is impossible.

Probably printing a list of all places and then arranging them by street would be the most beneficial.

It is a shocker, but if you start typing a post code or place name and then select what appears in the drop down list, it does work.

For example click Change Location, type "SW1X 7JJ" and then click the auto-complete entry "SW1X 7JJ, United Kingdom", it will correctly centre on this post code and then display merchants by distance.

And never drag the map! Find a post code or place and then just review the results.

Thanks, it works fine.

So every merchant on that map, regardless they have sticker or not, should participate in this scheme?

If yes, then well, I have a month to visit them all

I am on 100% hit rate so far and currently waiting to see if the wife's additional card can get another £5 from the same merchant. She got the email but the credit hasn't appeared yet
