Reminder: British Airways American Express bonus offer ends September 30th

Just a quick reminder that the current sign-up offer on the two British Airways American Express cards ends tomorrow:

The Premium Plus version, with the £150 annual fee, currently offers 25,000 Avios instead of 18,000 Avios. You must spend £3,000 within three months to receive the bonus.  Household income of £20,000 required.  Representative APR of 56.4% variable including the fee based on a £1200 credit limit.

The basic, free, card currently offers 9,000 Avios instead of 3,000 Avios. You must spend £1,000 within three months to receive the bonus.  Household income of £20,000 required.  Representative APR 15.9% variable.

My full review of the benefits of the Premium Plus card is here.

For clarity, the only people who cannot get the bonus on this card are those who have cancelled a BA Amex in the last six months.

You are OK if you have (or have recently cancelled) a Lloyds Avios Rewards card, an Amex Gold, Amex Platinum, SPG Amex or any other American Express, MBNA or Lloyds-issued Amex.

Note that you cannot have both of the British Airways American Express cards in parallel.  You need to choose between them, and if you want to swap over you need to telephone Amex and upgrade or downgrade your account.
