It did surprise me, so either the MBNA deal is highly profitable or can't be terminated early.

Still, I'd say this is the reassurance I need to keep spending on my bmi Amex.

I have the plus version that earns 2 miles/£ and as I qualified for my 2 for 1 on the BAPP I've been putting all non-BA spend on this bmi card.

I was thinking of using my bmi card for Visa only from next month onwards in case the card was suddenly dropped, but this gives me the reassurance I need to keep spending.

So if you're UK based and collect Avios, I recommend you sign up for this card and enjoy the nice sign up bonus.
