Amex Dining: 20% Cashback at 100+ UK Restaurants
American Express has reintroduced its popular Dining offer, providing cardholders with a generous 20% cashback at over 100 participating UK restaurants. This promotion runs from now until Christmas Eve, requiring eligible cardholders to register via the ‘Offers’ section in their Amex app or website before dining. The cashback is automatically applied to their Amex statement a few days after the restaurant bill appears.
The offer is primarily available to The Platinum Card, American Express Preferred Rewards Gold, and presumably The Centurion Card members. Importantly, co-branded cards such as BA, Marriott, Nectar, or Harrods, along with Amex Business cards, are not included in this promotion. While the offer allows users to visit multiple restaurants and earn cashback repeatedly at the same venue, it represents a significantly truncated version compared to previous iterations which featured upwards of 1,300 restaurants. The current selection largely comprises high-profile names in London, though independent establishments are also participating.
A key aspect of the offer is the cashback cap, which is ambiguously stated as “Up to £500.” This could mean a total cap of £500 cashback across the entire promotional period or £500 per individual meal. The article suggests the former is more likely, implying a cumulative £500 limit. However, a notable benefit is the potential for big spenders to split bills across registered supplementary cards to maximize returns. Additionally, if a restaurant participates in both this 20% cashback offer and The Platinum Card’s £100 dining credits, cardholders should be able to receive benefits from both promotions simultaneously, offering enhanced savings for eligible Platinum members.
