Hi All
Persuaded my mum that a BA Amex (premium plus) would be good for her to get the 241 vouchers.
Are there any referral bonuses for us, or a referer when we apply?
Cheers

Yes - 7,000 Avios for the applicant and 4,000 for the referrer. Not sure if there is any Quidco on the go.

great - sounds fantastic thanks for the advice.
so am assuming that I just haven't been targeted yet - only had the card for a few months so maybe that's why.
Anyway, the gold card sounds a good way to go and also the benefit of x2 points I believe in supermarkets etc.

I did have the offer online now I can't find it to check the T&C's, my miles have been transfered and have arrived with BA, but no bonus yet. I'm not too worried but does anyone rememeber when the bonus was applied ? immediate or end of offer ?? thanks.

Platinum Card sign on bonus is back
Looks like the Platinum Card 50K bonus is back for a £2k spend. Not available to existing Amex members.

Not if you get Membership Reward points. He's referring to the Platinum card - https://www.americanexpress.com/uk/c...platinum-card/

What happens if I need to refund a flight and I no longer have/use the original payment card/account?

(In my case I had to call 4 times over a period of 3 months. It kept getting stuck because of the change in card details.)

I have had refunds paid to expired cards with no problem as long as the underlying account is still open. No idea what the practice may be if the account has been closed down entirely though.
