For the free card, yes, this is a good offer (standard SUB is 5k avios IIRC). However, you’re then stuck with a low earning rate, and if you earn the companion voucher, it can only be used for an economy flight and is only valid for 12 months.
Have a read of Rob’s excellent articles on the pros and cons of all the various Amexes before making a decision, as holding one card can preclude you from getting others.
I have this offer as well, I am a supplementary card holder on my OH BAPP, but from reading the forum I think I should still be eligible for this offer. The 12,000 Avios is attractive and hitting 1000 in 3 months will be a lot easier than hitting £3000 at the same time as working on his £3000 spend.
EVEN BETTER: I just logged into my British Airways account and was offered BA American Express Premium Plus with 50,000 Avios Welcome Bonus if I spend £3k in first 90 days. That’s a great alternative to the standard BA American Express card, after reading Rob’s reviews of the Amex cards since I get double the usual Welcome Bonus. It’s time-limited like the 12,000 Welcome Bonus above.
I got this double points offer as a member of Executive Club. The BA site says this bonus is not available through any other link.
As Rob’s review says this card costs £250 per annum. It’s value because – allowing for £250 annual card fee – I pay just 1/2p per point for the bonus Avios if I hit the £3k 90 day spend. Plus this card gives 1.5 Avios per £1 spent which is more than most others.
