    I have read robs post on the best procedure but it doesn’t work for me I was wondering if it’s possible to go for

    Amex gold card
    Amex BA premium card
    Barclay’s Premium card

    And receive all sign up
    Bonuses, or would I have to get the gold wait for 2 years then get the BA one? I haven’t held anything AMEX before and can’t really find a answer if any of these bonuses conflict with the others, TIA

    yes that’s ok, you will get all the bonus if you qualify for the card and do the spend

    Thank you, I know there is t&cs around having another Amex personal card I wasn’t sure if it conflicted

    So even though it says this, it’s okay doing it the opposite way? I don’t want to lose out on the BA bonus points so just making sure.

    If you are not an Amex Gold cardholder, the current sign-up offer is 20,000 Membership Rewards (20,000 Avios) points when you spend £3,000 in 90 days. However, you will not qualify if you have – or had in the last 24 months – a British Airways American Express card amongst others.

    Yes, you DON’T get the Gold bonus if you’ve held ANY Amex personal card in the last 24 months (the BAPP counts here) BUT you DO get the BAPP bonus unless you held an Amex BA card within the last 24 months …

    Right okay so just to confirm I can go for

    Amex gold and Barclays premium now
    And then wait till I have my bonus points and then apply for BAPP?

    Also looking at going down the couples referral route but probably cant meet the Platinum SUB spend so looking at the following order:

    Person A Nectar
    Person B Gold
    Person A BAPP
    Person B BAPP

    I *think* that order is OK to get the relevant SUB for each.
