Have tried to find the post I read, but no joy, I fear might be edited or burried in some other thread...

Now bearing in mind I screwed up the activation and have a different account login for the new Gold card but my MR points show where the BA miles show on the BA PPlus card. I activated my card Friday morning and I didn't have the MR points display until today.
I may be wrong but I would say that it's the same set up as the credit card. Once a month you get a bill and you then pay it off. The only difference is you have to pay the full amount, although lets face it you have to be mad to not clear the full amount of the credit card on its APR
The same methods of payment are available, debit card, bank transfer etc. You do have the option to set up a direct debit if you want, it takes the full balance about 8 days from the date statement.

Don't see why not seeing as you pay on the same website as for the BA Amex

My partner is a 2nd card holder on my BA Amex card. Can we get him a paypal top up card and do the same on his BA Amex card. Thereby spending 20K between the two cards(one account)?

I successfully paid the balance with my Paypal card (that is linked to my BA Amex) last month and have just paid of this months so it definitely works for me.

I believe only the main cardholder is able to pay by debit card, so I doubt you'll get this to work.

It does seem to be a bit hit and miss though as some people have had bother for no obvious reason.

I assume I don't need a linked (automatic) direct debit for this card? I set that up when I applied - I thought I had to to ensure payment within a week of the statement date.
