Get all the convenience and security of an American Express Credit Card while accumulating Avios. So if you're looking for a credit card that can really take you places, you've found it.
With our British Airways American Express® Credit Card and our British Airways American Express® Premium Plus Card, you can accumulate Avios on your purchase. What's more, you can earn bonus Avios in the first three months of becoming a Cardmember. In addition to this, apply for a complimentary Supplementary Card for a family member or friend, and you can also earn Avios on their spend too.
You'll also enjoy automatic enrolment into the British Airways Executive Club for a wealth of additional benefits.
Every Cardmember enjoys American Express Invites®, which reserves tickets to some of the hottest shows in town exclusively for our Cardmembers. Whether your passion is music, film, dining or theatre, we can get you closer to the action.
With Credit Cards which earn Avios, you can also look forward to:

Card Security And Protection
All American Express Cards feature Chip and PIN technology and all transactions are processed through our own secure system to minimise the risk of fraud, whether you use your Card at home or abroad.
Our early detection systems monitor potentially fraudulent activity, and our Fraud Protection Guarantee means that in the unlikely event you are a victim of credit card fraud, and you have taken reasonable care with your Card, you won't be held responsible for any costs linked to the fraudulent activity.
And if things should go wrong, we'll soon put them right. Our Credit Cards offer Refund Protection and Purchase Protection on eligible items bought in the UK on your Card for up to 90 days.
So if you bought an eligible item on your Card and it's stolen or damaged within 90 days, we'll replace or repair it, or issue a refund.
Accepted Around the World
Wherever your travels take you, you can take your Credit Card. Better still, you'll continue to accumulate Avios which can go towards your next trip.
Your spend abroad is converted to pounds sterling as soon as we process the transaction, based on the American Express exchange rate which is set daily.
If your transaction is in US dollars, the amount will be converted directly to pounds sterling.
If it's in another currency, it's converted to US dollars and then to pounds sterling.
