Amex Gold - £15 free!

funkycredit

If you've an Amex gold. In offers you can add a free £15 to your card if you then pay £70 via PayPal. 

So what I did, added Amex to my main PayPal account as a new card. No need to confirm it. Just added it. Then sent £75 as a gift to my wife's PayPal account using the Amex I just added, so it has no fees (gifts are fee free). 

Removed card from my PayPal. Checked email and Amex confirmed I'd got the £15 statement credit. 

Easy free £15 guys. 👍

Just checked my account and I don’t have this offer.

I was actually planning on renewing my car insurance using my Amex card via Paypal so this would have been ideal.

i actually have the Amex card as my main card on PayPal as you can quite often use this to pay for things at places that won’t take Amex directly, and this way you still earn the points.

I have also checked my account and don't have the offer.
I use PayPal lot, so £15 would have been nice.

Here's my confirmation email.... 

I should add, when I added it there was a message about being available to so many members. Might have been 20,000 but can't recall. It may have been used up. Bummer.

Here's the reward in my offers in Amex online. It was 30k members according to this -

They often have a limit on such offers but I’ve always managed to make use of them. It’s definitely not there for me though. Maybe it’ll appear tomorrow

I've got a platinum plus card (the £25 fee one) rather than a gold card, but it's been striking that I've not had a single new offer pop up since November - I even had to ask them to get shop small added, and I thought that went to absolutely everyone.

I used to get new offers every few days, not sure what's going on here - well yes obviously I'm aware there is a pandemic going on, but you'd think that would make online retailers even more keen to attract purchases with offers. Instead I'm stuck with a bunch of old and useless offers for hotel chains!

I haven't got this offer either but my OH has received it, despite spending considerably less on her card than I spend on mine.
Strange really ?

I’ve got the offer but was unsure whether a gift would be treated as cash advance.

There’s also a HUKD thread too: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/spend-ps70-with-paypal-and-get-ps15-credit-back-with-amex-3642251

On Amex it reads - "PayPal *SALES". 

It's all good

I'm really surprised that this is not considered a cash advance!
