However on the good side - you get 1.5 miles per A$ on the Qantas Amex.

In the UK I only get up to 1.5 miles per £ - so BA miles are about 2.4 times harder to come by (and should be worth 2.4 times more)!

I'm still sitting on my BA companion voucher - and 147K miles... initially I was aiming for LHR-SFO in Club - but 100K points came and went - now I nearly have enough for FIRST... but somehow 200K doesn't seem so far off and that's enough for LHR-SYD in Club - I think I could cope with that (+ free companion)
