booking a cruise near limit another card?

[HFPCar]

hi all i am nearly on my 10k limit on my BA PP card i dont want to trigger another companion ticket
i have a barclaycard avios doing nothing should i put the spend for the cruise on that? or is there anything better around?
also i will be spending my avios for companion + £900 is there any additional points if i put this on my BA PP?

should i consider another card and stop my amex in feb when the anniversary hits to give me a chance to build up more avios?

Many thanks

BA spend yields more avios per £ spent on Amex then normal spend on Avios. Can’t recall the exact figures.

You’ll get 3 avios per £ on BA bookings using the BAPP.

Great I believe the taxes will be £900 hope that’s included?
I won’t be able to use the Amex for the cruise as it will take me over and trigger another companion

Yes, getting double avios is the silver lining to paying BA’s surcharges!
