Another option is HSBC Premier World ... something and something credit card, which is also £195 but it's only 1 Avios / £ which is just sad. :-(

Are there any other creative options of getting to 2 Avios / £ threshold?
Because of the interchange fee caps now in place you're not going to get anywhere near 2 Avios per £1 any more on a MasterCard or Visa. Even 1 Avios per £1 is generous!
