The British Airways Visa Signature® Card from Chase offers 75,000 bonus Avios after you spend $5,000 on purchases within the first 3 months from account opening (ways to meet this spending requirement). See how this compares with other card bonuses.
Update 5/26/23: The welcome bonus decreased from up to 100,000 to 75,000 Avios points, but the spending requirement is also less. The previous offer was to earn 75K Avios points after spending $5,000 within the first 3 months and another 25K Avios points after spending $20,000 within the first 12 months.
The British Airways Visa Signature® Card was designed for loyal British Airways customers who enjoy strategizing to get the most value out of their Avios. But be forewarned, the surcharges on certain reward tickets can be pretty steep. Luckily, this card is also useful for booking on partner airlines with your rewards.
You earn 3 Avios per $1 spent on purchases with British Airways, Aer Lingus, Iberia, and LEVEL within your first 18 months from account opening. It’s 2 Avios per $1 spent on hotel accommodations when you book directly with the hotel within your first 18 months. Plus 1 Avios per $1 spent on all other purchases.
When you spend $30,000 in a calendar year, you’ll earn a Travel Together Ticket good for two years. There are no foreign transaction fees with this card and the annual fee is $95.
