Review of the American Express, British Airways Credit Card:

Great Value

5
Great value for more and good APR rates. Enjoy there services always Reviewed on: 8th July 2022

Completely useless

1
A Companion Voucher sounds great. It sounds as though you can book a First or Business Class flight, and take your wife/partner for free, except for taxes. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH! The voucher is essentially unusable. I have spent the last few days trying to find any flights that might be be able to use Companion Vouchers. I have tried maybe ten destinations, but the voucher is completely unusable. This is a massive CON! Do not take a British Airways American Express card. I have taken flights all over the world in the last year, but will lose my Silver card. I don't know whether it is British Airways, or American Express, that is perpetrating this con, but stick with good quality credit cards that do not pretend other benefits.

Miles!

Great way to accrue BA Avios . Excellent customer service Reviewed on: 12th May 2019

Membership rewards and airmiles, just brilliant.

5
I love the BA Amex because of the membership rewards, it's a brilliant aspect of the card. I've triggered bonuses and am well on my way around the world if I transfer them to airmiles! Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

Very relIable

5
Always good to have this card as gives adequate credit and also useful in any emergency Reviewed on: 19th January 2019

Love BA Amex but.

2
I love my BA Amex due to the points I can collect. But, I recently got a letter from AMEX re miscommunication of benefits (some travel delay thing). I think it's pretty poor for a firm like AMEX to make such a basic mistake. Reviewed on: 7th January 2019

Great service

5
A credit card with great service, and great offers. Reviewed on: 14th December 2018

Strong brand, reliable products and services

5
American Express is a reliable company, strong brand and its services are really good. The only inconvenience is the fact that not every places accept American Express Credit Card, so in a daily basis shops you maybe will need an other credit card. But, I highly recommend Amex as I'm a old customer, never have any problem with them and a I really trust in American Express products and services, even when I lived in South America. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Excellent experience and good offers and products

4
Nice people behind, always open to help you if any query Reviewed on: 21st November 2018

Poor customer service

2
Multiple issues with this credit card. Every time I tried to call them for advice I felt fobbed off. Even cancelling the card was hard. The only benefit was the Avios points for using it Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Decent way of collecting points

4
Great for mileage collecting. Wish the companion ticket limit was lower. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018
