I agree with the previous poster's recommended cards but think one more card is worth consideration. The Amex Platinum has a $450 per year fee but is offering 50000 Amex Membership reward points (that can be transferred to BA with a 40% bonus if it takes place before the end of the month -- though I think you might have to take advantage of the ability to "borrow" the 50K Amex points before they have actually been earned). The Amex Platinum also give you lounge access for the year and $200 back on baggage fees, meals on board fees (airline fees OTHER than the ticket cost) on your registered preferred carrier.
