Take a friend with a two-for-one Companion Voucher
Fancy whisking a loved one off for a romantic beach break or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure? Spend £10,000 or more on your Card within an anniversary year, and you will receive a British Airways American Express Companion Voucher4 (a complimentary second reward seat for the same flight and cabin, on a BA mainline flight), valid for two years. All you have to do is pay the taxes, fees and carrier charges. Terms and Conditions apply. Subject to status and availability.
It’s the gift that keeps on giving

Our Cardmembers love the benefits
Here’s why the British Airways American Express Premium Plus Card is so popular with our Cardmembers, in their own words:
“I loved the idea that I could be rewarded for my spending. I tell everyone and anyone that will listen to me to get a British Airways Express Premium Plus Card. I use my card to pay for everything I can, from groceries and travel to petrol and nights out. I’ve even transferred my Tesco Clubcard vouchers into Avios points...” – Gill Souter, 43, Sussex.
