Too much information dippy:rotfl:

Well I've had a lovely morning sorting out my new Amex card and preparing for the Small Shops promotion.

For anyone who's still undecided, my card came through in just over a week and I'm ready to go. It'll be the only card I use now for 3 months as I need to spend £2000 before February 4th to qualify for 20,000 points. I really don't want to go to Marrakesh so might opt for a £100 giftcard instead. There's also 2 free airport lounge passes. Wonder if they'll just let me go in and spend a couple of hours just watching the planes take off while I quaff free glasses of dry white wine and munch olives:rotfl:

I've opted in to the small shops promotion and started a list. I'm trying to buy stuff that I would normally use anyway so as not to incur any extra cost.
Already I have

Local Fish and chip shop
Coffees shops
A local chemist
A gift shop which I love....thinking Christmas presents:D
Mr TM' s Christmas do is at a restaurant which is participating and he would be paying by card anyway

I have a second list for shops I need to check out in the next month ahead of the promotion starting just to see if there's any bargAins.

It's been a rainy morning well spent. Amazingly Mr TM is up for getting involved as it doesn't involve coupons or anything illegal:rotfl::rotfl:

You can also transfer your avios points to Nectar I think. Could be good for the next double up...

Forgot all about because it was bound to be a no being a student. Guess what my post was when I got home Amex gold card 2 free airport lounge passes will come in handy when I go to NZ ::j:D:D
