Within your Cardmembership Year, you’ll earn American Express cashback for purchases at the following rate: 0.5% for the first £10,000 of purchases in the preceding 12 months; and 1% on purchases over £10,000 in the preceding 12 months. 

Except for purchases made at warehouse retailers in the United Kingdom where you will earn American Express cashback at the rate of 0.5%. American Express cashback is calculated on the amount of the purchase and then rounded up or down to the nearest full penny.

You must have made purchases on your Card Account of at least £3,000 within the Card membership year applicable to your Card Account to be eligible to receive your cashback.

 

We calculate your Vitality healthy cashback booster based on how many eligible Vitality plans you have and how many Vitality activity points you earn each month, using a Vitality compatible device.  Each month’s cashback booster rate is based on the activity points earned two months prior. So you won’t earn a healthy cashback booster until the start of the third calendar month after the Card benefit goes live in Member Zone.
