22,000 BA Avios miles available for new Amex Gold card, NO CARD FEE !

American express has a time limited referral offer that allows current cardholders to refer new card holders for the American Express Gold card. The BIG THING about this referral is that American express will waive the £125 annual fee for the first year. Once you spend £1,000 on the card in the first 3 months, you’ll get 22,000 American express reward points, which they will transfer on request to 22,000 BA Avios miles.

So simply put, if you have a £1,000 spend coming up in the next few months, don’t currently have an amex credit card, then apply using the link below, and you get 22K BA avios for absolutely no charge.

22K miles can be used to book multiple “reward saver” flights, and in fact if you went to purchase 22K avios from BA.com they would cost you over £300 (and that’s including their current 30% bonus offer).

Click the link below, and check out the terms and conditions, which confirm the waiving of the annual fee, and the 22K bonus points.

Yes, absolutely I receive some bonus MR points if someone goes though my link,but it is at zero cost to the referee and all the info in the above post is correct. Quidco is fine if someone is used to doing that, but for many, the handiness of just doing 1 application and getting a non-cost £300+ benefit is MUCH more attractive than having to register an account with quidco, register a way to draw money out of them, do the amex application via them, and then wait for 8-12 weeks for the £20 to *hopefully* post to their quidco account.

Agreed you need to jump through more hoops to go down the Quidco route, but in the end, you will end up with £20 cashback and the benefit of c.£272+ Membership Rewards (using your valuation) given the 20,000 MR sign up bonus (subject to min spend).

@tiggerbrown

It is now free for all in the first year – see their site

….and fortuitously, what was waiting for me at home (incredibly, only 2 days after making an application online)?……My AMEX gold card!

Now, all I have to do is figure out how to create and paste a referral link!

Hi marcusuk. “gold card lounge pass”. What kind of Gold Card lounge pass? KLM? Thx

Marcus, could you include a link to the klm sign up, please.

Is this a “proper” amex or a white labelled mbna knock off?
