Which additional credit card should I opt for?
I have just recently banked BA 2-4-1
(Amex Premium Card) & Reward Voucher with VS -(Reward Credit Card). Mostly wish to benefit from flying Business Class, should I just opt for an Avios based card? thank you appreciate some hand holding following BA’s tier point news!!HSBC Premier World Elite Mastercard, so long as you’re putting enough spend through to make it worthwhile.
Think I’d have to be a HSBC customer, I bank with Handlesbanken and don’t really want to move banks or open another account.
Thank you though for the suggestion, will keep on doing the research.@308YYC The only other option I could think of for you would be to look at the Barclaycard Avios credit cards.
There are two available a free version and a paid for premium version.
Form what I can recall, the free version enables an upgrade on economy only flights and you are required to spend £20,000 per year. Your earning rate is 1 avios per £1 spent. This card has no monthly fee. The free card will get you a cabin upgrade voucher or 7,000 avios.
The premium version requires you to spend £10,000 per year and has a £20 per month fee. The premium card will get you a cabin upgrade voucher or 7,000 avios. You also get airport lounge membership. Your earning rate is 1.5 avios per £1 spent.
There are a fair few articles on HFP that details the benefits of each card in more detail, I have merely given an overview. I think I recall seeing a comparison article here too.
The Barclaycard Avios Plus certainly looks to tick the boxes and the HFP articles are very helpful too.
Appreciate you joining the thread in offering advise.Both Barclaycards give you identical vouchers, it’s the spend requirement which is different. It’s the free BA Amex voucher which can only be used in economy.
