Very similar to the RyanScare CC which has 1 free flight on first purchase and another free flight with every 10 that you book

Interesting to see that while the Mainline BD ccard is partnered with MBNA, the WW one is offered by CitiBank

Anyone know if CitiBank are any less ruthless with their APR or "Charges" as MBNA are?

As far as I can see, there is no real advantage in going for a WW card, apart from the fact that the equivalent flight from the BD one would require about £8k spend as opposed to the £5K were we foolish enough to cash in BD miles on a WW flight
