Hi all

Apologies I’m a bit new to this, so excuse my ignorance. Looking for sensible next steps, our aim is to take family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids long haul in next few years, my wife and I have both done the Amex gold offer and invited some friends so not far off 100 000 points, what would be best sensible next steps, I’m thinking to aim for a companion voucher, we’re not fussy were we go on holiday but fancy India , Thailand, but v flex

Any advice appreciated, looks like to get 241 need to start paying for cards

You’ll earn a CV from either of the BA Amex cards, but the free card voucher is only valid for 1 year after issue for economy flights, whereas the paid card voucher is valid for 2 years and includes premium/business flights.

There will be articles on here showing the pros and cons of both which would be a good place to start.
