Head for Points reader signol posted this in the Comments section of another post a couple of days ago (thank you!) but I wanted to give it a wider outing.
Amex is currently offering an increased bonus of 25,000 Avios points on the British Airways Premium Plus card. This compares to the standard bonus of 18,000 Avios.
This higher bonus is only available via the American Express mobile site, it seems.
Here is the link – even though it is a mobile site, it will work on any computer.
The offer expires on 31st July. You need to spend £3,000 in three months to trigger the bonus, you need to have £30,000 household income to apply and the card carries a £150 fee.
You can read my full review of the BA American Express Premium card here. Amex’s own home page is here.
