Any other suggestions out there?
The companion ticket can only be used on BA flights, but avios work wonders on AA or LAN. The BA card also has a Chip & Signature feature, so it works much better than magnetic strip cards in Europe and Asia. You missed out on a huge sign up bonus, but it is currently 50,000 avios after $1000 spent in 3 months (still not too shabby).
