Which is probably why they changed it, if loads of people were doing the same. Didn’t even cross my mind to do what you do, I am a simple soul obviously

They were advertising the new scheme around the kiosks last night, too. And this morning I got an "acknowledgement" from Amex that I'd spent (on a pie). So hopefully money back soon, as well.
Seems like £50 limit in cash back for the season. But then, I'd have to spend £500 to get that much back. I guess those with larger families might do that.

I’d even heard of some showing a screenshot of someone else’s Amex card on their phone to get the discount then paying with a different card.
Please forgive my ignorance but what difference (advantage?) does this give to the buyer?
Is it PotG?

In addition to screenshots of relevant cards, some folk were simply getting the same person to buy each round on Amex, and transfer the cash over apparently/allegedly.
This will put a stop to all such shenanigans.

It was a 10% discount applied at the till, now you gave to actually use your card and the discount is applied as cashback to your account
Ok, if you "borrow" an Amex card (which can be obtained free of charge!) then I can see the benefit but @Commander insinuated he was using his own Amex card for the discount and then paying the balance on another card.
I have an Amex card and get Avios (formerly AirMiles) for each and every English Pound I spend.
