Our Verdict
Somebody alerted me to this like five days ago and I just retweeted as I didn’t think the deal would be that good. I keep seeing them offering higher rates than cash back portals when I look at portal rates for other deals so I figured it was actually worth a post. As always make sure you compare to other portals using something like cashbackmonitor.
Would this stack well if you purchased something through Saks for the AMEX platinum benefit?
Depends on how much you value Avios, they are offering 6x but other portals are at 12%
Honestly, the British airways shopping portal is one of the worst ones out there. They will do everything they can to claim that your purchase is not eligible. For example, I purchased a 1 TB External hard drive at Best Buy and they refused to pay up since one of the exclusions at Best Buy was for ” Computer Backup Services.” After that, I never used them again.
High risk high reward. eBay very hit or miss and they will claw back weeks or even months after crediting.
Then again For no reason they gave me 1000 Avios last week. And there’s been times they credited me more avios than what was due on eshop. Cheeky British!
