Credit Card Details

The British Airways Visa® Signature Card, issued by Chase, is designed for those with excellent credit who travel regularly via British Airways.

Through the rewards program, cardholders earn one mile for every dollar spent on general purchases and two miles for every dollar spent through British Airways. In addition, cardholders will receive 20,000 bonus miles with their first purchase. There is no yearly limit to the number of miles that can be earned, and miles do not expire as long as the frequent flyer account is active during a three-year period. Earned miles can be used for travel with British Airways or any of its partner airlines along with other travel related services (visit www.britishairways.com for further details).

Aside from the rewards program, a variety of benefits are available, including travel accident insurance, auto rental insurance, and lost luggage insurance. The signature card provides a personal concierge service and no pre-set spending limit (purchases are authorized based on personal spending and payment history). A free British Airways companion ticket is also available with the purchase of a FIRST, Club World, or World Traveller Plus round-trip transatlantic ticket at the regular fare price.

There is a low introductory offer that applies to purchases and balance transfers for the first five months. The interest rate for purchases and balance transfers is above average for a reward card (once the introductory rate expires), and it is not ideal for those who plan to carry a revolving balance due to the finance charges that may apply.

Therefore, those who plan to travel with British Airways or any of their participating partner airlines, can pay in full each month (to avoid finance charges), and will be able to redeem an airline ticket or other travel related service within a two-year period (due to the $75 annual fee) will benefit most from what the British Airways Visa® Signature Card has to offer.

Most Attractive Feature(s): Bonus miles; no yearly limit on miles; low introductory rate.
Least Attractive Feature(s): Slightly high annual fee.
