About American Express
American Express is a UK card issuer and payments provider. This record concerns the British Airways American Express® Credit Card reached through the supplied referral destination, rather than every American Express product. The card is a credit product: an approved applicant receives a credit limit and can use the card at merchants that accept American Express, then must repay according to the Cardmember Agreement and monthly statements. The official product page currently describes 1 Avios for each £1 of eligible purchase spend, access to Amex Offers and Amex Experiences, Global Assist while travelling outside the UK, and a British Airways Companion Voucher after £15,000 of spend in each Cardmembership year. The voucher is subject to reward-flight availability, and taxes, fees and carrier charges apply per person. Those are features of the underlying card, not extra referral rewards. Availability, acceptance, credit limits and individual terms can differ, so an applicant should read the live application documents before deciding.
Get Special Offer with American Express
The immutable directory classification is reward=Special Offer and code/link=Referral link. The exact destination supplied for this record is https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/ba-classic-credit?ref=mANISGqHGI&XL=MIANS. Do not replace it with a shortened link, another referral URL or a copied code. On 18 October 2026 the destination was reachable and identified the visitor as having been invited to apply for the British Airways American Express® Credit Card. It says that the applicant and friend can get a bonus if the applicant is approved, and instructs the applicant to apply using the button on that page. However, the destination does not state the monetary or points amount of the referral bonus. The general American Express referral page says that the referring Cardmember's reward depends on their card and terms, and that the applicant may choose a card; the product page separately displayed a 5,000 bonus Avios new-Cardmember offer after £2,000 of eligible spend in the first three months. Those statements should not be treated as proof that this exact referral link gives a particular number of Avios to the applicant or referrer. The current amount, any application-specific welcome offer, qualifying transactions, posting date and exclusions need confirmation on the referral page and in the applicant's offer terms before applying. The referral benefit is not cash, guaranteed approval, a guaranteed credit limit, free borrowing, a waiver of interest, a promise of a Companion Voucher, travel insurance, or a promise that every merchant will accept Amex. It also does not change the card's contract, credit assessment, repayment duties or charges.
How to claim the offer
- 1Open the exact stored referral destination: https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/ba-classic-credit?ref=mANISGqHGI&XL=MIANS. Check that the page identifies the invitation and shows the British Airways American Express® Credit Card before continuing.
- 2Read every offer panel, footnote and linked terms on that destination. Record the displayed referral reward amount, whether it is for the applicant, the referrer or both, the qualifying action, the deadline and any product exclusions. If an amount is absent, ask American Express to confirm it before applying.
- 3Compare the destination with the official British Airways American Express Credit Card page. Confirm whether the card still has no annual fee, the displayed representative APR and the current new-Cardmember rules. Treat the application page and Cardmember Agreement as controlling if they differ from this article.
- 4Check the basic application statements shown by American Express: age 18 or over, a current UK bank or building society account, a permanent UK home address, no history of bad debt and income of at least £15,000 per year. These are screening guidance, not a promise of acceptance.
- 5Check the personal-card history restriction. The product page says the welcome offer is not available where the applicant currently has, or held, a personal American Express Card in the previous 24 months; the referral page also explains that new-Cardmember welcome eligibility can vary by product. Confirm the exact rule for this offer.
- 6Apply through the button on the supplied referral page, rather than starting a separate application or switching to a different link. The destination expressly says that applying through its button is required for both parties to receive their bonus.
- 7Complete the application accurately and review the personalised credit limit, rate, summary box, pre-contract credit information, insurance wording and Cardmember Agreement before accepting. Approval is subject to American Express's credit assessment and is not guaranteed.
- 8After approval, save the approval email and the displayed offer terms. Track eligible spend, dates, statements and any bonus in the Amex App or online account. Do not spend merely to chase an unconfirmed reward, and do not borrow more than can be repaid.
- 9Pay at least the required minimum by each due date and, where affordable, clear the full statement balance. Check foreign-currency, cash-advance, late-payment, returned-payment and other product-specific charges before using the card.
- 10If the referral or welcome reward does not appear within the period stated in the offer terms, contact American Express with the saved referral URL, application date, approval details and evidence that the qualifying conditions were met. Do not alter the stored URL while investigating.
Your referral benefit
The practical benefit is a route to an application for the no-annual-fee British Airways American Express Credit Card, with a possible referral bonus for both parties if the application is made correctly and approved. The exact amount and fulfilment rules are not shown on the supplied destination, so provider confirmation is needed. The card page gives a useful but separate illustration of the underlying product: its representative example showed a 29.1% variable purchase rate, 29.1% representative APR variable and an assumed £1,200 credit limit, with the note that an individual's rate and limit may differ. It also showed no annual fee. A welcome offer displayed on that page was 5,000 bonus Avios after £2,000 of qualifying spend in the first three months, with eligibility restrictions including not holding or having held a personal Amex card in the previous 24 months; the offer can change or be withdrawn. Because referral pages and targeted offers can differ, readers must rely on the terms presented in their own application journey, not on this editorial record. Paying less than the full statement balance can result in interest. American Express says purchase interest is avoided when the full amount owed is paid by the due date, while cash advances accrue interest from the transaction date. The issuer also describes a 2.99% currency-conversion fee on foreign-currency purchases and a cash fee of 3% or £3, whichever is greater, for overseas cash withdrawals, in addition to applicable non-sterling fees and interest. These costs belong to using the card and are not reduced by a referral.
Before you claim
- Destination check: confirm the browser address is exactly https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/ba-classic-credit?ref=mANISGqHGI&XL=MIANS, including the ref and XL parameters.
- Offer identity check: confirm the page names British Airways American Express® Credit Card and does not silently substitute the Premium Plus Card, Basic Card or another product.
- Reward disclosure check: verify whether the page states an amount and whether it applies to the applicant, the referring Cardmember or both. The checked destination did not provide the amount, so provider confirmation is required.
- Qualification check: read the live terms for approval, new-Cardmember status, previous Amex-card holding, minimum spend, eligible transactions and any deadline.
- Application-route check: confirm that the application was submitted through the button on the supplied referral page; a later application from a separate tab or general product page may not be tracked as a referral.
- Approval check: distinguish a completed application from approval. American Express says credit limits and rates depend on its assessment, so neither approval nor a particular limit is guaranteed.
- Cost check: record the personalised purchase rate, APR, annual fee and any other charges in the summary box and Cardmember Agreement; do not assume that a referral reward offsets borrowing costs.
- Repayment check: set a reminder or Direct Debit for the statement due date and verify that the full balance is paid where possible, since carrying a balance can create interest.
- Reward-posting check: retain statements and look for the reward in the relevant account. The general referral page says a referrer bonus may take up to ten weeks after a successful application, but the exact offer terms should govern this link.
- Travel-use check: before using the card abroad or withdrawing cash, verify the current non-sterling conversion fee, cash fee, interest and acceptance limitations. The referral reward does not remove those costs.
- Voucher check: if considering the Companion Voucher, verify the separate £15,000 Cardmembership-year spend condition, eligible airlines/cabins and taxes, fees, carrier charges and availability; it is not the referral reward.
- Support check: if tracking fails, contact American Express rather than changing the URL. Provide the exact link, dates and account details, while recognising that American Express will not disclose another person's application outcome.
American Express referral questions
What exactly is the referral link for?
It opens an American Express invitation page for the British Airways American Express® Credit Card. The page says the applicant should use its application button so the applicant and friend can potentially receive a bonus if the application is approved.
Is the stored referral URL safe to alter or shorten?
No. Use the exact supplied URL, including its ref=mANISGqHGI and XL=MIANS parameters. Starting elsewhere, removing parameters or using a shortened version could prevent the referral from being attributed.
How much is the referral reward?
The checked destination confirms that a bonus may be available but does not state an amount. The general referral page says rewards depend on the referring Cardmember's card and terms. Ask American Express to confirm the live amount and conditions; do not assume it is 5,000 Avios or cash.
Does the applicant automatically receive the product-page 5,000 Avios?
Not automatically. The product page displayed 5,000 bonus Avios after £2,000 spend in the first three months for eligible new Cardmembers, but referral-page targeting and eligibility can differ. Read the offer shown in the exact application journey and its terms.
Who can apply?
The page's application guidance says applicants should be at least 18, have a current UK bank or building society account, a permanent UK home address, no history of bad debt and income of at least £15,000. American Express still makes the final decision after its assessment.
Can someone holding another Amex card get the welcome offer?
The displayed product terms say the welcome offer is unavailable to someone who currently has, or held, a personal American Express Card in the previous 24 months. Product-specific referral terms may add or vary restrictions, so confirm the live wording.
When will the reward arrive?
There is no confirmed posting date for this exact referral destination. The general referral page says a referring Cardmember's bonus may take up to ten weeks after a successful application. Check the exact offer terms and contact American Express if that period passes.
What if the applicant is declined?
Approval is a condition of the referral bonus described on the destination. A submitted application is not approval, and no reward should be assumed after a decline. American Express will not discuss the applicant's outcome with the referrer.
What if the applicant applies for the Basic Card instead?
The general referral page says the referrer will not receive a bonus if the friend applies for the Basic Card. The supplied destination is for the British Airways American Express Credit Card, so check the selected product before submitting.
Is the card really free to use?
The checked product and referral pages showed no annual fee, but that does not mean borrowing or every transaction is free. Interest can apply when a purchase balance is carried, and charges can apply to cash withdrawals, returned or late payments and foreign-currency use. Read the personalised terms.
What does the Companion Voucher have to do with the referral?
Nothing directly. It is a separate card benefit shown on the product page, earned after £15,000 of spend in a Cardmembership year and subject to reward-flight availability plus taxes, fees and carrier charges. It is not a guaranteed referral reward.
Can the referral reward make overseas spending cheaper?
No such assumption is safe. American Express states that foreign-currency purchases attract a 2.99% currency-conversion fee, and overseas cash withdrawal has a 3% or £3 minimum cash fee plus other applicable costs. These are separate from referral fulfilment.
What should I do if the link opens but the bonus wording is missing?
Do not infer the amount or proceed solely on an assumption. Save a screenshot, check the linked terms and ask American Express to confirm whether the invitation is active, what qualifies and how the reward is fulfilled. Keep the stored URL unchanged.

IG Index
£50–£1,000 Free Share
**Referral code/link:** Referral link **Referral URL:** https://refer.ig.com/faisaln-185 Use the URL exactly as shown, before starting the account application. On 12 October 2026, this supplied destination was reachable and redirected through IG’s referral tracking flow to an IG investment-account creation journey. It is therefore recorded as live, but a redirect alone cannot prove that every applicant will be accepted, tracked or paid. Keep a dated screenshot or confirmation showing that the referral route was used. IG’s current UK Refer a Friend page says that the invited person can receive a free share worth **£50–£1,000**. It says the share is selected from a list of eligible US companies, and gives examples such as Apple, NVIDIA and Amazon; those examples are not a promise of a particular company. The same page says the referrer receives £100 cash after a successful referral. That £100 is the referrer’s reward, not an additional £100 payment to the person using this entry. The public qualification sequence is specific: open a share-dealing account, ISA or SIPP through the referral link; invest at least £1,000 and place a first trade within 30 days; then keep an Average Invested Value of at least £1,000 for three months from the first investment. IG also says a W-8BEN form must be completed before the end of that three-month period in order to receive the US-share reward. The free share is credited to a GIA. Important details remain provider-confirmation points. The public referral page does not fully set out every residency, age, existing-customer, identity-verification, tax, account-approval, funding-source or promotion-stacking condition, nor does it explain the detailed calculation of Average Invested Value. It also says a referral can expire and that the qualifying steps must be completed in the required timeframe. Do not rely on another IG campaign page, a voucher code or a previous promotion’s terms as a substitute for this referral’s live terms. Ask IG to confirm personal eligibility, the applicable terms and whether another offer can be used at the same time before committing funds.

Avanti Travel Insurance
Up to 20% Off
**Reward recorded: Up to 20% Off.** This is the referral route recorded for **CLARE HUNT**. Use the referral page exactly as supplied: **https://avantitravelinsurance.mention-me.com/m/ol/df1jgetz-clare-hunt**. On the live Mention Me landing page checked for this record, the page says that Clare referred the visitor and asks for an email address to obtain a discount; it displays “up to 20% off” and also “20% OFF” wording. Avanti’s own referral terms describe the referred-friend reward as **up to 20% off the first policy**. Because the landing page and programme language are not a final price, verify the actual reduction in the quote basket before payment. The practical route is to open the exact link, provide the requested email address and use the discount code that is sent when buying online. Avanti’s referral page also says a visitor without a link can enter the referrer’s full name at checkout. The directory identifier is **CLARE HUNT**; do not change its spelling, replace it with another name, or assume that it is itself the final checkout campaign code. The programme appears to issue a separate code after the email step. According to Avanti’s published referral conditions, the referred customer must be a **new Avanti customer** and **over 18**. The discount is for the first policy, is issued for one month, applies only to the base premium, and does not reduce medical screening costs or optional extras where relevant. It cannot be combined with another discount code in the same order. It is not cash, a gift card for the buyer, a refund on an existing policy, a guarantee of cover, or a waiver of underwriting, medical declarations, policy excesses or exclusions. Avanti can vary the programme and can refuse a reward, so provider confirmation is still needed if the cart does not apply the expected reduction.

RAC Breakdown
£25 Amazon Voucher
This directory record is for RAC Breakdown and records the promotional benefit as a **£25 Amazon Voucher**. RAC’s own referral pages describe the reward as a £25 Amazon Gift Card. Their published headline is that, when an RAC member refers a friend and that friend joins, both people receive the Amazon reward. RAC also says a referrer can refer a maximum of 12 people. This record preserves that advertised referral proposition, but it is not a price reduction on a RAC policy and it does not promise a particular breakdown-cover level. **Code/link: Referral link** **Exact destination: https://refer.rac.co.uk/hayleyd-812** Use that destination exactly as written. No separate alphanumeric promo code has been supplied for this directory entry, so do not substitute a code found on another website, remove the identifying part of the address or assume that a general RAC checkout will retain the referral. The exact destination should be opened before starting the quote and the visitor should make sure the referral journey remains associated with the application through to the point RAC confirms it. The verifiable qualification currently available from RAC’s public referral wording is limited: the other person must join RAC through the referral arrangement. The full landing-page journey for this particular destination could not be read in an automated check on 15 October 2026. It redirected into RAC’s referral-entry route and then displayed an RAC access/temporary-problems response requiring JavaScript and cookies. That does not prove the referral is invalid, because RAC’s own live refer-a-friend pages still advertise the £25 reward, but it means the provider must confirm the link-specific eligibility conditions before a purchase. In particular, this record does **not** assume whether an existing RAC customer can qualify, whether a particular cover level, payment method, add-on, contract type or purchase channel is required, whether a policy must remain active for a period, whether the referral can be combined with another promotion, or how RAC detects a missed referral. Those conditions were not available from the exact destination during the check. Ask RAC to confirm them in writing or through the normal purchase journey before relying on the reward. No reward delivery time, email address, fulfilment partner process, expiry date or replacement procedure is stated in the accessible referral material reviewed for this entry. Do not treat the voucher as cash, a discount applied at checkout, a payment towards the RAC premium, a repair fund, insurance cover or a guarantee of future Amazon purchasing power. It is an advertised Amazon reward only after RAC regards the referral and joining event as qualifying. Amazon’s own gift-card conditions may also apply; RAC should confirm the current fulfilment details for this promotion.

Motorway
£50 Amazon Voucher
**Motorway referral offer: £50 Amazon Voucher.** The directory’s exact referral code/link is **Referral link**. Use this exact destination, without editing or substituting it: **https://motorway.mention-me.com/m/ol/ml8cwrmv-hayley-duster**. The live destination displayed a £50 Amazon.co.uk Gift Card reward for the referred seller when they sell their car with Motorway, and said that Hayley also receives a £50 reward. Motorway’s referral help describes the same arrangement as both people receiving a £50 Amazon.co.uk Gift Card, a £100 total split, after the referred friend completes a qualifying sale and the car is collected. For the person using this directory entry, the reward is therefore a **£50 Amazon Voucher**, described by Motorway as an Amazon.co.uk Gift Card. It is not cash, not a discount off the car-sale service fee, not a payment in advance and not a guaranteed supplement to a vehicle offer. The referral landing page says Amazon restrictions apply; readers should review Amazon’s applicable gift-card terms before relying on a particular use. Motorway says the referred customer must reach Motorway through the unique Mention Me referral link, not merely type an incomplete or altered address. It also says the referral cannot be added retrospectively where a person has already sold, or is already selling, without the link. A qualifying car must be eligible for Motorway’s online daily sale to its nationwide dealer network. Motorway says it indicates this when a customer values the car; its help notes that eligibility criteria relate to model, age and mileage. A sale routed through CarTakeBack or TheCarBuyingGroup rather than the online daily dealer sale is specifically excluded from the referral scheme. The referred customer must not have sold a vehicle with Motorway in the preceding 12 months and must not already have been referred by someone else. Motorway also says anti-abuse controls apply. These conditions are provider-controlled and can depend on the customer’s sale history, their link tracking and the eventual sale route, so this directory record cannot determine eligibility in advance. If any point is unclear, obtain confirmation from Motorway before committing to a sale. The destination was accessible at the recorded check, but the offer is marked as requiring provider confirmation because eligibility and fulfilment remain Motorway’s decision.

Super.com
10% off
This directory record preserves the exact referral code **J71527** and the exact referral destination **https://super.com/**. Its recorded reward is **10% off**. The live referral listing for this code describes it as 10% off a new customer’s first eligible hotel booking, subject to the offer and booking terms displayed by Super.com. Use that as the recorded promotion, not as a promise that it will apply to every account, room, property, date or part of a price. There is an important qualification to check before spending money. Super.com’s official referral guide currently explains the general programme differently: it says the new person should be someone who has not signed up, and that once they create an account and book a hotel, each person earns 10% off their **next** booking. The official guide does not name J71527 or confirm that it is currently linked to the first-booking version stated on the directory listing. The official Terms also say that rewards may be promotional credit or another method chosen by Super.com; their amount, any cash redemption and the precise actions required may vary. Super.com can change, add to or terminate referral programmes, and can remove rewards for abuse, misuse or fraud. Accordingly, enter **J71527** only where Super.com expressly presents a referral, invite or promotion field, and rely only on the offer text and price breakdown shown in the account or at checkout. Provider confirmation is needed for the exact qualification trigger, eligible hotel/rate scope, any cap, expiry, geographical availability, whether the discount is applied immediately or later, and whether taxes or other booking components are included. Do not create duplicate accounts or try to apply the code retrospectively: neither action is established as permitted, and the published Terms allow Super.com to decline or revoke rewards. This promotion is not stated to be cash, a transferable asset, a guarantee of the lowest hotel price, a membership fee waiver, a hotel reservation, or a refund entitlement.

Seatfrog
Upgrade Discount
**Seatfrog referral: £5 off a first eligible First Class upgrade.** Use the exact referral link **https://seatfrog.mention-me.com/m/ol/oe3lraqz-sharon-bal**. The referral code/name recorded for this offer is **Sharon Bal**. The live landing page for that exact link says that Sharon has saved the recipient £5 off their first upgrade to First Class and asks for an email address so a £5 voucher can be emailed. Do not alter the link, shorten it, or replace the recorded code/name with a different one. The offer should be treated as a referral voucher for a new customer’s first eligible upgrade, not as a general price reduction on all Seatfrog products. Seatfrog’s referral help says referred customers must be new and rewards apply to first-time purchases; the landing page is more specific about a first First Class upgrade. Before paying, read the wording displayed with the voucher and at checkout, because the provider says referral offers can change. The record does not establish the voucher’s expiry date, an eligible operator list, a minimum spend, whether it can cover any booking fee, or every excluded upgrade type. Provider confirmation is needed for any of those points if they matter to the trip. The £5 is an **upgrade discount**, not cash, a rail ticket, a fare quote, a guaranteed First Class seat, a winning auction bid, a Railcard discount, compensation for disruption, or a promise that food, a particular seat or other operator amenity will be available. It does not remove the need to hold a valid underlying ticket for the exact train. It also should not be read as a promise that an upgrade will be displayed, that a selected operator will participate, or that the final total will be £5: the app must show the actual eligible upgrade and checkout total.
