- 25,000 bonus Avios after you make $10,000 in purchases within the first year of account opening
- Plus an additional 25,000 bonus Avios after you make an additional $10,000 in purchases also within the first year of account opening
- 2.5 Avios for every $1 spent on British Airways purchases and 1.25 Avios for every $1 spent on all other purchases
The 25K points alone should get you a few round trips between SFO and LAX.
You can read about this card on my website below in the Credit Cards > Annual Fee Cards section.
So how do Avios work if I am looking to spend them stateside? How would I book an award ticket with them exactly? Just trying to wrap my head around the program because it looks like a good deal. Definitely like the One World partners as well.
