Good morning points collectors! Today we've got a massive Amex offer that's perfect for UK business owners (even if you just do a bit of freelancing or have a side hustle). Plus some nice hotel savings and lounge updates to round things out.

American Express has tripled the signup bonus on their Business Gold card. You'll get 60,000 Membership Rewards points (worth 60,000 Avios) after spending £6,000 in 3 months. Even better? The £195 annual fee is waived for the first year.

The key details: • Must spend £6,000 in first 3 months • No restrictions on who can get the bonus • Offer ends October 14th 2025 • Card is free for first year (£195 thereafter) • Points transfer 1:1 to Avios, Virgin and more

Want to know the best part? Thanks to rule changes last year, you'll definitely get the bonus if approved - regardless of what other Amex cards you have or recently had.
