It also depends on what you need for awards. BA charges high amounts for J and F awards but it does have MFU (upgrade awards) for 25k per RT Canada to UK but some Y award are lower in miles than AC.
I also like MBNA SPG card since I can also redeem it for hotels nights or flight and miles. But only good till 30K spending.
$66.7k spending for round trip Business class to Europe isn't bad, and certainly much better than AE. Halve that for regular economy.
BA flight classes, illustrated:

World Traveller Plus (Premier Economy) x1.5
Club World/Club Europe (Business Class) x2
FIRST x3
Europe is 50k (eg England/France) up to 65k (eg Finland, Greece, Israel) BA miles in regular economy,
