EXPIRED - Free Money - via quidco from American Express

Moved to misc as we don't normally allow cashback as a deal/freebie.

Be aware that applying for cards like this just to get cashback will affect your credit rating due to multiple credit searches.

Yeah, done this! £33.75 for me!

Doesn't seem to affected my ability to get credit. I get a new card probably each month and cancel the old one each month.

This is a good deal for an instant £33.75

just a shame hardly anyone accepts an amex card

You're right that they do a credit check each time you apply but it really only affects your credit rating when you get declined. It's best not apply to several credit cards, loans, bank accounts etc. in a short space of time regardless of whether you get accepted.

I'm going to wait a little bit because I just applied for a high savings current account with overdraft as well as a credit credit card at the same time.

I got an Amex platinum card through Quidco and the £33.75 cash back has validated for Aug payment. So far so good.

The main reason I got the card was to get the 5% cash back from Amex on all purchases during the first three months, however, when my first statement arrived the cashback was showing only as 2%.

I called the customer services help line, who were totally useless and they waffled on for several minutes obviously not having a clue about how the cash back scheme works.

Eventually, they said they'd have to investigate further and call me back, which they did to advise that there seemed to be a problem and that they would write to me within two weeks.

Altogether a poor service and I would advise anyone else who took up this offer to check their statements.
