Migrating credit card spend - AMEX BA or Gold?
The gradual migration continues - I am now Gold on BA and Aegean, redeemed most of my points (Thai/Jet airways 1st suites in a couple of weeks!).
What about credit cards? I shut down my BMI AMEX 8 months ago and took out the AMEX Gold Charge - I have about 140k on it now. I have now also taken out the BA Premier AMEX - just arrived today.
I am in a quandry - to hit the £10k on the BA AMEX to trigger 241 I need to maximise its use, and therefore I should really close down the Gold card.
However, I don't want to pump the 140k MR points anywhere yet - I will wait for a 30% extra deal from BA or Virgin. But on the other hand I don't really want to pay the £125 to renew Gold if I am not going to use it.
Any views? - I presume several are in the same boat.
