Thanks for posting this, but where does this come from? I don't see it in the T&Cs.

Doesn't BA charge a lot of fees for rewards redemption like other Euro airlines?
Or is that only if flights originate from LHR?
Yes, BA does charge hefty fees, including a misleadingly named "fuel surcharge" (or something to that effect) that can add up to a few hundred dollars per ticket. But I'm not sure about the details. I believe this is discussed in the thread on the 100,000 points offer here in Miles Buzz and/or in threads in the AA (in the context of the joint operating agreement) and BA forums.
A couple of nice features of the BA card are 2.5 miles per dollar for BA purchases and 1.25 miles for other purchases. Also, unlike most other credit cards this one does not charge foreign transaction fees.
