Review of the American Express, British Airways credit card:

Earn miles while you spend

If you travel, often fly with BA and use a credit card, this credit card is a no brainer. If you’re going to spend the money anyway you might as well get something for it. Reduction on flights, free flights and lots more all because I use a credit card anyway Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

Great for Avios

I'm happy with the card and BA benefits Reviewed on: 6th August 2020

Amazing Credit Cards

5
I have been an American Express customer for 4 years now and have had American Express Cashback Card, Gold Card, BA Premium Plus and now BA Blue Card. With Cashback card earned enough cashback. The opted for Gold card and then the BA cards and have never looked back since. I activated my 2-1 voucher earlier in June and have 150K + points so once the covid situation gets better I can start to look for the upgraded holiday ;) Thank you Amex. Reviewed on: 25th June 2020

GOOD CHAT SERVICE FOR DISABLED CUSTOMERS

5
Disability wise I cannot use phones, if I have a problem I can go to the chat easily and someone will help me and there has never not been someone there when I needed help. I always get my problem resolved straight away. This to me is gold as so many banks/cards demand you phone them, not recognising disability at all and are not willing to do anything about it to make reasonable adjustments. I don't constantly have my card blocked like my other cards, which is no good to anyone which leaves you for months without any service as banks fail to respond to letters, so I feel AE is reliable for me and my disability needs when I am needing help.
