Get referred to Amex UK

Amex UK referral rewards

Refer a friend rating – 4/5 stars

Pros: We found the Amex refer a friend scheme to be easy to take advantage of and the bonus point rewards in particular can be extremely generous and attractive to frequent travellers and shoppers. While the number of referrals you can make is not unlimited, we believe that it’s unlikely many people will be looking to refer more than 23 people in the space of a year. The referral site is easy to navigate and eligibility and redemption information is clearly displayed. You can earn up to 90,000 Avios or Membership Rewards points each year, which is a great way to make the most of your Amex card’s additional perks.

Cons: While we wholeheartedly recommend the Amex refer a friend programme, we do believe that there’s room for improvement. It’s currently difficult to ascertain how close your referred friends are to meeting the bonus eligibility requirements. These requirements can also be quite steep on some cards, with a minimum spend requirement to hit within 3 months of signing up. We also found that the cashback card rewards are a little stingier, with £150 per year being the top reward. Rewards can also be quite slow to process, with up to ten weeks being reported by some users.

Terms and Conditions

We recommend that you always read the full terms & conditions (see the section labelled “Any questions?” near the foot of the page) before taking part, however there are conditions relating to the rewards that we suggest you double check to ensure you receive the reward as expected:

• The Basic Amex card is not eligible for any reward. Be sure to browse the range of cards via the referral link provided so you can be sure that a referral reward is available.
• Newly referred customers who have previously held a Membership Rewards-enrolled American Express Card or a British Airways American Express Card product within the past 24 months may not be eligible for some rewards.
• The maximum number of Avios, Membership Rewards, Nectar points or other bonus points that can be earned in a calendar year is 90,000. Cashback products are limited to a maximum of £150 bonus cashback per calendar year.
• There is an un-stated limit to the number of friends that can be successfully referred during a 30 day period and rewards that exceed this limit are likely to be cancelled.
