e hope you’ve been inspired by this Companion travel guide. Now we’ve given you the inside track, getting away to seek out new experiences could be easier


than you think with the British Airways American Express® Credit Card.


Premium Plus Here’s how


Apply for the Card, and if approved you’ll be awarded 25,000 bonus Avios (the reward currency of the British Airways Executive Club) when you spend £3,000 in your first three months of Cardmembership¹. That’s enough Avios to think about visiting some of the great cities you’ve read about in this guide. For instance, 9,000 Avios are enough for a return flight from London to Copenhagen or Amsterdam and 15,000 Avios can take you from London to Milan or Madrid and back³.


Important information


Applicants must be UK residents, aged 18 or over. Approval is subject to status and Terms and Conditions apply. ¹25,000 bonus Avios will be awarded onto your Account once you have been approved and you have spent and charged a minimum of £3,000 on goods and services to the Account within three months of Account opening. ²For the British Airways American Express Credit Card, 5,000 bonus Avios will be awarded onto your Account


With the 1.5 Avios you’ll collect for every £1 spent on purchases on the Card (or 3 Avios for every £1 spent direct with British Airways or British Airways Holidays�), the rewards accumulated on the purchases you are already making may help you venture even further afield. For instance, 40,000 Avios is enough for a return ticket from London to New York³. But that’s not all. You will be rewarded with a 2-for-1 Companion Voucher, a benefit that entitles eligible British Airways American Express Cardmembers to a complimentary second seat for a companion on a British Airways flight, when you spend £10,000 or more on your Card within an anniversary year³. We know that companions, like this guide’s insiders, can be great for giving us a different perspective on a city, so choose wisely. When you use your Avios for a British Airways reward flight, you can use the 2-for-1 Companion Voucher to take a companion with you on the same flight and


once you have been approved and you have spent and charged a minimum of £1,000 on goods and services to the Account within three months of Account opening. Introductory offers are not available if you currently hold or have held any other British Airways American Express Cards in the past six months. Please note, it can take up to one month for the bonus Avios to be awarded to your Account once you have met the required spend. ³Terms and Conditions apply to Avios redemptions. Reward flights and


cabin, giving you the opportunity to explore somewhere new or rediscover somewhere you love. All you have to pay are the taxes, fees and charges for each ticket. If you’d prefer a Card with no annual fee, an alternative option is available: the British Airways American Express Credit Card which comes with a 5,000 Avios welcome offer when you spend £1,000 or more in your first three months of Cardmembership². As well as earning Avios on spending, Cardmembers also enjoy access to purchase tickets to a wide range of sought- after events, including music, theatre and film, often before tickets go on sale to the general public, with American Express Invites®
