Awesome

Excellent customer service. Card accepted at many retail outlets. Reviewed on: 1st June 2017

Enticing, but not completely convinced

BA and Amex offer an irresistible offer for sensible lenders to earn Avios points for their everyday purchases. They had a fantastic opening offer, giving me 9,000 points if I spent a certain amount in my first few months -- enough now for a return trip somewhere in Europe. Points come in slowly after this though, and I'm yet to know if the points will be worth something more than a simple jaunt to Europe for one. App and integration with Apple Pay is better than with Lloyds Bank's cards. Reviewed on: 31st May 2017

Very good airmiles return

I've used the airmiles many times for Japan flights Reviewed on: 13th May 2017

great for business travel

if you want to travel in luxury but can't afford the fare, this card is for you. The 241 voucher allows you to take a companion for free in the same class if you've accrued enough air miles. With a bit of tactical spending, it's not that hard to accrue plenty of miles and it's definitely worth it to sit on a business class flight knowing you've paid the equivalent of an economy ticket Reviewed on: 2nd May 2017

Simple credit card with good benefits

I have been using AMEX for 3 years now, and I am very satisfied with it. On the few occasions where there has been a problem, they have dealt with it promptly. The opportunity to collect AVIOS is not to be missed, and they have regular offers to save money. All in all excellent service and highly recommended. Reviewed on: 30th April 2017

Great customer service

Great customer service and fantastic benefits! Reviewed on: 20th April 2017

Everyday buying for airmiles

Great reward scheme with an annual fee to get the companion voucher for additional plane ticket. IF going long haul it's a great saving. Reviewed on: 7th April 2017

SO easy

Great to have a company that has sorted out their online options. Can get pin reminder, sort out all payments, see my Avios points and get deals in one place. Such a difference compared to other providers I have used. Plus the weekly text message to let me know my balance gives peace of mind Reviewed on: 3rd April 2017
