Hey all,

i got the amex gold card and intend on using it for the next year to get my avios points. it says i can add 1 supplementary card for free and that we share the points. i asked my dad if he wanted to get a supplementary card and he agreed. my question is two-fold

1) do all the membership points we earn go to 1 big pot, or does it go to each individual cardholder?
2) there is an offer that if i spend £2000 in 3 months i get 20000 membership points. will this apply across spending for both cards?

thanks and happy new year!!

    All point go to same pots
    Yes both cards contribute to the 20000 points

    As a side note if refer your dad for his own card you get an extra 9000 points and he gets an extra 2000 points

    brilliant thank you!

    i thought the referral system only worked if he got his own amex account? this would be a supplementary card so i didnt think it would apply

    I just got one of these cards too, will use it instead of my debit card and also for my business expenses instead of my company credit card so I can quickly rack up the points.
    I spend around £12K per year on hotels, flights and other business expenses alone, couple that with my personal spending it should return a good reward. :beer:
