If you’ve got The Amex Platinum Card UK, it’s time to check your wallet because £50 of Harvey Nichols credit is about to vanish. The deadline? 30 June 2025.
This perk is part of your card’s “free money“ benefits and resets twice a year. So, if you haven’t spent this half’s £50, you’ve got just days left.
And yes, this is real money. And yes, it works online.

How the Amex Platinum Harvey Nichols Credit Works
If you’re new to the Amex Platinum Card UK, here’s the deal:
- You get £100 per calendar year to spend at Harvey Nichols
- It’s split into £50 from January – June and £50 from July -December
- You must save the offer to your card via the Amex app or website
- It applies to the primary cardholder only. Supplementary cards don’t qualify
- After spending, the credit appears as a refund on your statement, not as a discount at checkout
This is one of the easiest and flashiest perks on the card, especially if you’re new to rewards or trying luxury brands for the first time.
Where Can You Use It?
You can use your Amex Harvey Nichols credit in-store or online, plus at select restaurants:
Eligible UK Harvey Nichols locations:
- London (Knightsbridge)
- Leeds
- Manchester
- Bristol
- Birmingham
- Edinburgh
Restaurants that work:
- The Oxo Tower in London
- Other Harvey Nichols-branded restaurants inside stores
What doesn’t count:
- HN@HOME services (like “OXO at Home“ or Leeds delivery)
- Purchases via the Oxo Tower website
- Third-party brands or outlets operating inside Harvey Nichols
Also, note that Harvey Nichols’ Knightsbridge restaurant lineup recently changed so play it safe and stick to the top-floor café.
Best Things to Buy with Your £50 Amex Credit
You don’t have to overspend to use this perk. In fact, here’s how to get the best bang for your 50 bucks:
Beauty & Self-Care:

What If You’re Not Near a Store?
The Harvey Nichols website is your friend.

- Free returns by post or in-store
So, if you’re nowhere near a flagship, this is still a very real perk. Pair your order with a mate to trigger free delivery.
