    Since Mr TS lost half his job couple years ago household income has been under that.

    Even with interest from my savings we haven't gone over this year.

    But all is good as we don't have a mortgage and try and keep necessary outgoings low so it's not a problem.

    If worse came to worse I would just have to stop buying Bubbs bargains. :rotfl:


    Gold is free for year 1, then you cancel and re-apply 6 months later.


    They often give an instant decision and provided your stated household income is more than £20K and your credit score good, it might be worth giving it a go.


    Income comes in many forms.

    For anyone intersted in the shop small thing, and other amex offers its definately worth getting (multiple) amex cards. I have 8 running at any given time (4 cards, 4 supplementary ones).

    This means any offers like this I can do 8 times. Sometimes you get £10 back on a £30 spend or £25 on a £50 spend, which can quickly rack upm condsidering you can often get gift vouchers etc.

    I have 2x BA Cards (1 mine 1 the Mrs) and 2 Gold Cards (1 mine and 1 Mrs). I could push the luck and try and get even more but at the moment I'm content with 8 redemptions.

    Certainly can - each OneStop is a separate business for Am3x :).

    So each store once per card.

    I have 3 cards as does Mrs Anon.

    I'm going to look seriously at this Amex stuff.

    If you can do it Anon....I'm sure I can:p:)

    So my plan has been narrowed to 5-6 stores with around 40 redemptions in addition to current ones.

    Don't have enough space for too much meat etc So roughly doing the following:

    Onestop (8x) (1st town) -£5 bottle of Hardys wine, nice round number = £2.50 bottle
    Onestop (8x) (2nd town)As above
    Delicatessen (8x, over 2 weeks) - Stock up on general food stuff,s probably save 30% over asda/tesco as prices will be higher than a supermarket
    Butchers - (5 to 8x) -Freeze some good meat for xmas :)
    Phamarcy - Stock up on kids ibprofen, nose sprays etc (prob 4x).


    So a fair few - The best ones are the corner shops where you get a good food deal, butchers is harder to stash too much as need freezer/fridge space.


    Sounds good. Half price stamps always handy as well

    Household income requirement for Gold is £20K though they don't check too closely, a good credit score would be fine provided stated income is over £20K.

    They are stricter on credit scores than on checking incomes. I. Know people rejected for very minor reasons.

    If you do go to OneStop for Am3x - there is a free 1.25l Fanta for downloading the app.

    Website includes all the latest offers.
