Reply To: BA Blue card now worthless??

[Scott]

If the card was useful before the changes (it wasn’t for me, but I get others may have seen some value in an Economy voucher) then I don’t see how raising the spend threshold suddenly makes it useless.

Previously you had to spend £12k for the voucher (so it’s not £5k additional spend), and it’s gone up by 25%

Inflation over the past couple of years has been 25% so without even changing your spending habits you’ll more or less hit the new target as easily as you did the old one.

Until 2021 you had to spend £20k on this card to get the voucher, albeit that voucher wasn’t restricted to Economy only.
