Promises more than it delivers

I feel like these points sound like a great thing but they arent transparent. They are hard/impossible to use once youve worked hard to build them up. Im over it now and will change to get better rewards elsewhere. Reviewed on: 21st April 2025

10/10 customer service

Whenever I have had a question about my card or its terms, I have turned to their live chat function and have found incredible help from their staff. They're knowledgable about their product and will try to help you as best as you can. My partner has been a longer standing customer of theirs and he convinced me to sign up because if I had any issues down the line, their customer service would not disappoint! Although the actual product isn't the best it could be at this moment (avoid points rewards), the service is great from my experience. Reviewed on: 26th March 2025

Customer service always very good and easy Avios earning Reviewed on: 2nd April 2024

BA Avios companion tickets are a waste of time

The BA voucher system that acompany's the credit card can only really be used on flights booked when the destination flight fist comes on sale, some 355 days before the actual flight as they only allocate 2 seats to avios companion vouchers. This means they are booked up almost as soon as they become available. So unless you intend to book every trip a year ion advance, its not worth anything. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
