Yes I added my partnerWillPS said:topcat105 said:I applied for the fee free Amex which offers 20000 Avios for a 1K spend.
I was slightly concerned that on my app I've got a 1000 Avios reward straight away and my spending is going towards another 5000 if I spend £1000 by April.
I've spoken to live chat a couple of times but they don't seem to know what I'm talking about !
Is this the normal procedure and the remaining 14000/15000 will be added once I hit my target spend, or has something gone wrong and I've got a less generous offer ?
TDid you add a supplementary card by any chance soon after joining?These often trigger bonuses which aren't very well publicised:1000 Points seems to be the bonus presently.
Where did you see the 20,000 points for opening the card and spending £1000? The usual bonus is 5000.0 -
