Also 215,000 for cat 5 plus 100,000 miles. Not such good value for the BA miles obviously, but it opens up the opportunity of getting the miles in a single hit. Just buy 200,000 between self and spouse either side of New Year as suggested by Raffles, and both apply for the credit card for a bonus of 10,000 each. I notice the US version of the credit card comes with a 25,000 bonus for first use, which would be enough for the 250,000 deal, but it says it's available only to US residents.
