Case study: Louise used Avios to get business class flights to Chile<\/div>\n
\n

\"I chose this card because of the excellent reward benefits, mostly Avios air miles. I received a welcome bonus of 50,000 Avios miles when I spent \u00a33,000 on the card, and I received additional Avios for referring my wife, who also got the welcome reward!<\/p>

(NOTE:<\/strong> This is an old testimonial, meaning the welcome bonus points and criteria may have changed).<\/p>

We were able to pool our Avios miles to get business class flights to Chile \u2013 those lie-flat seats were a lifesaver on a 14 hour flight and we got all the perks like lounge access, etc. We had to pay tax and fees, but the cash cost of the flights was less than we would have paid in economy, so it was a great deal.<\/p>

If there\u2019s one thing you\u2019d tell a friend who\u2019s thinking of getting this, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>

British Airways has a shopping portal where you can earn Avios points at loads of retailers just for clicking through from the shopping portal. So I check on the portal before buying anything online \u2013 combined with using my credit card to pay (which earns 1.5 Avios per \u00a31), I can earn over 10 Avios for each pound spent.\"<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

How does this card compare with other Avios-earning cards on the market?<\/h3>
