Amex announces bonus offers for new British Airways American Express Cardmembers

27 Aug, 2026

American Express and British Airways have launched new limited-time sign-up offers on three British Airways American Express® Cards for eligible new Cardmembers. The offers are available until 6 October 2026, with up to 60,000 Avios available when eligible Cardmembers meet minimum spend requirements.

British Airways American Express® Premium Plus Card offer1

Eligible new Cardmembers who apply and are approved for the British Airways American Express® Premium Plus Card on or before 6 October 2026 and spend £6,000 in their first three months can now receive 60,000 Avios – double the usual 30,000 bonus Avios available.

60,000 Avios is enough to get customers a return Reward Flight to New York in World Traveller (Economy), or a round-trip to Europe in Club Europe (Business)*, plus taxes and charges.

Once approved, Cardmembers spending £15,000 in a Card membership year can receive a Companion Voucher. This allows them to take a companion on the same flight – including World Traveller Plus, Club World (Business) and First – for no additional Avios. If travelling solo, they will receive a 50% discount on the Avios price for their Reward Flight. Cardmembers will also have access to additional Reward Flight seats in Club World when booking with a Companion Voucher.

Cardmembers collect Avios on their everyday spending, which can be redeemed against flights, hotels, car hire and more.
