Google is your friend. Just try "american express cash back petrol supermarket" and look at the fifth hit.

The 5th hit comes up with a site reviewing various cards, the onl UK Amex one has a flat rate of cashback across all spending not more for Supermarkets etc. The only one with different rates is one for USA customers:

"Earn 3% Cash Back at U.S. supermarkets, up to $6,000 per year in purchases (then 1%); 2% Cash Back at U.S. gas stations; 2% Cash Back at select U.S. department stores; and 1% Cash Back on other purchases."

Same happened to me yesterday too. Logged on and said account was blocked but referred to an account I had with them into 2010. Logged out and back in and it was fine.

Sounds like you used the wrong username!

Can you give a link to the site, please? Otherwise we're all just guessing.

The Amex site is working fine for me.

Thanks zerog. It appears that I have an MBNA Amex which I acquired via a link from this site. I don't recall this site or MBNA making this difference apparent before I took the card.

MBNA has removed the benefit that I joined for, and it has taken several calls to them, with help from this thread to identify the gap in my knowledge.

It's a pity that reclusive46 didn't construct a coherent sentence when he was trying to tell me.

But, thanks everybody. My MBNA Amex card is about to be cut to pieces.
