As I tend to book J and F back the UK, 10% off more than pays for the $95 annual fee on a single trip. Two trips and I’m quids in (well dollars actually) The offer would certainly increase in value if it was 10% off all BA TATL flights going forward as long as the card was used. Does anyone have experience of such an offer?
Another quick question regarding AVIOS... I credit AA, so have yet to earn a single AVIOS, but if I were to spend $3K in the first 3 months, I would earn 50K AVIOS into my BA blue account. What is the average amount of AVIOS required to UUA from CW to F as this is the only way I think I would use them. Another advantage would be that as AVIOS are going into my BAEC account, BA will stop killing that account every few years, which then requires me to go and open a new account to easily use MMB and to check on JAL, Cathy and QANTAS reward bookings.
TIA
Hi,
I think ( taking San Diego as an example) the miles to upgrade CW to F is 22,500 Off peak and 25,000 peak ( details here

Maybe slightly fewer to the East Coast USA.
However with the removal of the 747-400 and reconfiguration of some F class from 14 to 8, space for UUA may become harder to get ( and become only available closer to departure date). Also some routes may now be served with non-F flights ( ie A350-1000)
