    I received a letter from Amex last week. If you hold a gold charge card you can apply for gold credit card and receive 3000 MPs with a £500 spend. Need to redeem before 31st May!

    Has anyone else received this offer?
  • Nice , thanks for your answer

    That's a long running offer, taken them up on it a few times.
  • Anyway of getting the gold AMEX card for free by closing it and opening it again?

    I believe if you cancel your card you are deemed a new customer after 6 months

    Pretty sure this is new. Its not the charge card but rather a credit card. headforpoints.com did a post about it.

    thanks for that Phil. I have heard this too. Can anyone confirm this / point to where this is in Amex's T&Cs ?

    This happens to be from the Amex Gold Charge card T&C's but think similar wording exists for other cards:
    "I understand I will not be eligible for any Welcome Bonus award if I hold or have held any Membership Rewards enrolled American Express Card in the past six months."

    Hope that helps somewhat

    £50 in vouchers would be an absolutely terrible way to use 10,000 MR points. For comparison, I used mine for Delta SkyMiles.

    A return ticket is about 60k SkyMiles to most US destinations. I can easily use this on a flight I'd pay £800 for (and often more, I'm taking a low estimate there). 800/60000 = 1.33 pence per point. Compared to the 0.5 pence per point in your example.

    Seriously, never, ever use MR for cash, cash equivalent or goods redemptions. The value is awful compared to transfer partners!
