Other T&C apply and remain unchanged. Click here for our full card review and click here to apply.

Hotel booking site Kaligo.com has launched a fantastic new promotion which can earn you up to 20,000 bonus Avios for hotel bookings made before 31st August.
You must be a British Airways American Express cardholder to participate.
There are three good things about the way this offer is structured:
The bonus you receive is based on CUMULATIVE spending up to 31st August. You don’t have to hit the target in one booking.
ANYONE take part, even if they are already registered with Kaligo.com and even if they earned a bonus from a previous promotion. The only condition is that you are a British Airways American Express cardholder.
You have until 28th February 2019 to complete your stay
If you are NOT already a British Airways American Express cardholder, you have plenty of time to apply, receive your card and book before the 31st August deadline. My review of the free BA Amex card is here (comes with 5,000 free Avios) and the £195 British Airways American Express Premium Plus card here (comes with 25,000 Avios).
Details of the offer are here.
The bonuses you can earn are:
5,000 Avios if you spend £300
10,000 Avios if you spend £500
20,000 Avios if you spend £1,000
This is on top of the usual 5-20 Avios points you earn with your booking. You only receive one of the three bonuses, based on your cumulative spending up to 31st August. (Your stays can be at any point up to 28th February 2019 – you only need to book before 31st August – although you only receive the bonus after all of the stays are complete.)
As usual with Kaligo.com, PointsHound and Rocketmiles, you should check competing sites before you book. They will not always be the cheapest every time, but if you factor in the value of the Avios points then they should be very competitive. You will NOT earn hotel loyalty points when you book via Kaligo.com and you won’t receive any status benefits you are due, unless you book at a Marriott hotel where status benefits are honoured.
You must register for this promotion in order to receive the bonus Avios. The link to register is here.
Remember that you MUST book with a British Airways American Express card.
