Hi Rob, what option is best for ‘upgrading’ from blue avios Amex? Is it worth going to the BAPP with no bonus or staying with the blue? It is unlikely that we will benefit from business class (with kids) etc.. Basically, I still want the companion voucher but is it worth the 250 fee for a better rate on pounds to avios? thank you

Best bet is take Rob’s advice and get the Barclays basic card. youll get an upgrade voucher when you spend 20k in a year. which is essentially a companion voucher.
