Best credit card for NL (in relation to BA)
Hi all,

I hate it that I can't get the BA AMEX in NL since that would get me a lot of 241s and a lot of miles. I also hate it that there is no TESCO in NL. I would happily UK-cheat if that was at all possible. Unfortunately AMEX is a little more diligent than BAEC regarding false addresses...

I currently hold a Flying Blue AMEX Plus that earns me 2 FB miles per euro. Is there any credit card that will do about the same when you convert points to BA miles? AMEX Plat will only do 0.9 miles per euro after conversion and will cost me 600 euro per annum whereas the FB AMEX Plus is only about 90 and offers almost the same benefits (!).

Diners Club is a laugh since I can't use it anywhere.

I collect about 80.000 miles per annum on credit card spending alone so switching from 2 miles/euro to a lower earning ratio would be painful...

Any suggestions? Ways to get foreign credit cards without committing (serious) fraud? Anything?
