Which card gets better offers – BA Free Amex or a Membership Rewards Amex?

[Krispy]

In your experiences which card gets the better offers?

I know the BA one won’t get any flight’s deals which sometimes can be really good like the united one. What do you think?

Depends what you’re after – the BA Amex will have Avios specific offers, whereas the membership rewards one only tends to give cashback. I have both, and on balance I’d suggest the MR one is slightly better. But that might just be because I put more spend through it.

In my experience there are usually more offers on MR earning cards.

I agree with the previous posters.

I find whichever card you aren’t using gets the better offers.

I’ve had my BA card for 6 or 7 years now and it is easily the card with the better offers. I have had a Gold/Platinum account for two years now, but the offers on that account are not as good.

My BA card is used for >90% of the year.

62 on the MR, 24 on BA currently. 6 months ago that ratio was reversed. A year ago I had fewer than 10 on both cards.

My MR card gets 80% of the spend and always has. Everyone gets different offers at different times, there is no logic to it.
