Buy all the merchandising you can from the 1979 Disney Movie "The Black Hole" as it will be the fortieth anniversary in 2019 and it will all be worth a lot more to dozens of internet nerds.

Update: Amex have agreed to send me the cashback to my bank account. So direct from Amex not required.

Here's a left-field suggestion: buy up as many of this years commemorative 50p and £2 coins as you can get your hands on and keep them in near-uncirculated condition. If it turns out either was a low mintage their value will spike around the same time circulation figures are announced. For reference, 2015 and 2016 WW1 commemorative £2 coins are changing hands for sometimes in excess of £5 a piece on eBay. Even after fees you're looking at a reasonable chance of doubling your money.

Consider this my two pennies worth (ho ho).

I was into 50p coins a few years back, I did OK out of them. I'll keep a look out, thanks.

Thanks.

How about a car? Buy it for £100, strip it and sell parts and you'll make a lot more than £100.
