Reply To: Shall I apply for The Platinum Card, Barclays Avios Plus or both?

[Luca M]

The Barclaycard Upgrade voucher is not of great use, especially compared to the BAPP Amex 2-4-1, so paying that fee for the extra 0.5 Avios only may not be a great deal (my spend on my Barclaycard Avios (free one) when Amex is not accepted is probably 3-5% of my UK spend annually). I would only sign up to the Barclaycard Avios Plus if another mega sign up bonus comes along.

For the record I have The Amex Platinum Chargecard, BAPP, Barclaycard Avios and HSBC Premier for my GBP Spend.
