💳 Amex x BA Premium Plus 60,000 Avios Welcome Bonus Is Back!

Enough Avios for a return trip to Dubai 🇦🇪

Attention Avios collectors and British Airways enthusiasts! The British Airways American Express Premium Plus 60k welcome bonus is back. If you've been eyeing a premium travel rewards card, this offer might just be your ticket to your next adventure.

The Headline Offer: 60,000 Avios Welcome Bonus

New Cardmembers can earn a healthy 60,000 Avios when they spend £6,000 in the first 3 months of Cardmembership. That's enough Avios to fly return to numerous European destinations or to make a significant dent in a long-haul redemption.

Key Features of the Card

  1. Earn rate:

    • 1.5 Avios for every £1 spent on purchases

    • 3 Avios for every £1 spent on British Airways flights and holidays

  2. Companion Voucher:

    • Earn when you spend £15,000 each membership year

    • Now more flexible than ever (details on flexibility not provided)

  3. Annual Fee: £300 (cancellable pro-rata)

Exclusive to Executive Club Members

This offer is exclusively available to Executive Club members. To be eligible:

  • You must apply through the BA E-Store link

  • Applications must be made before 8 October 2024

  • Applications made through other channels may receive a lower offer (referral, Amex’s website)

Is It Worth It?

With 60,000 Avios, you could potentially claim:

  • Return flights to numerous European destinations (Reward Flights to Europe start from 18,500 Avios + £1 return)

  • Return economy flights to Dubai

  • A significant contribution towards long-haul flights

Remember, Reward Seats are subject to availability, so flexibility in travel dates can help you maximise the value of your Avios.

Our Take

This is an strong offer, one that we last saw in May 2024, especially for those who frequently fly with British Airways or its partners. The 60,000 Avios welcome bonus, coupled with the generous earn rate and Companion Voucher, can provide substantial value for the right user.

However, the high annual fee means this card is best suited for those who:

  1. Can comfortably meet the £6,000 spend requirement in 3 months

  2. Will use the card regularly to offset the annual fee through earned Avios

  3. Travel frequently enough to make use of the Companion Voucher

As always, it's crucial to consider your personal financial situation and spending habits before applying for any credit card. As always, this is not financial advice. Remember to pay your balance in full each month to avoid high interest charges.

If you're an Avios enthusiast or a frequent BA flyer, this offer is definitely worth considering. Just make sure to apply before the 8 October 2024 deadline!
