  I was investigating the free BA card (which according to a recent post has the better offer of 9000 avios), but when you are not referred, the Amex site is offering Special offer of 0% on purchases for 18 months and only 1,000 bonus Avios welcome offer…

    Where is that? When I go to americanexpress.co.uk and click on the BA card I see 9,000 Avios.

        Yes but the next box, same card though, states the 9k bonus, so if you stop at the first card, you have had it! Pays to browse, as we all have learned!

          Apologies-could have left T&C’s 4 and 5 out.

      Very interesting, I clicked a link from Moneysavingexpert and the amex website shows the 18 month 0% + 1000 avios; but after clearing cookies and going back to the amex site, it shows the “normal” 9000 avios offer

  What kind of limit is typical with these cards? Or is it highly variable?

  • Rob says:

    I got £7,500 – which compares, for eg, to £20,000 on my BAPP Amex and my old BMI MasterCard.

  if you run a balance on your credit cards then you should be focussing on obtaining a low interest rate and NOT taking out additional cards to take advantage of sign-up offers

  ..so what you should do is move your debts to this card, stop spending and focus on paying your debts off….
