Most exciting (!) seems to be an extra point per £ at Gap and House of Fraser.

That link doesn't work.

I have 3 Amex cards and didn't get this offer on any of them. This effectively wipes out the forex fee.

I think this is 2.99% APR charged on borrowing rather than your usual rate, not 2.99% off your bill in those months!

I get these every once in a while but as I always pay off in full it's pointless.

I got the email too as an offer on my BA card.

When it comes to travel, our special offer means more of what you love for less.

As a valued Cardmember we are pleased to offer you a 2.99% p.a. promotional rate for all your purchases between 30 May and 30 November 2013 – a whole six months.

If you choose to pay off your balance in full at the end of each month, there is no interest to pay as usual. However, should you prefer to pay off your balance at a later date, interest will be charged at a very low 2.99%. On 1 December 2013 the rate will return to its current level and all unpaid balances will then be charged at this rate.
