If you have a British Airways Chase Signature Visa card you can get a $200 rebate three times a year. See this thread:

Chase BA Visa card offers new rebate for redemption fees

Thanks, don't think I can apply for Chase as BA account still in UK and as my wife and I are family members on Avios programme unable to change her account to US.

However, taking the advice from earlier, was really interested that when pricing 2x1 way in PE tax is about £230 ex USA but £350 ex UK which now has completely blown my mind based on earlier comments that prices are more expensive ex USA.

Is there any method to this madness :-)
