Offer details
New American Express members will receive a welcome bonus of up to double the usual number of Avios points. Existing cardholders will receive up to 12,000 Avios points when they invite a friend.
The offers are available until 28 February 2022.
British Airways American Express Credit Card
People who sign up for the British Airways American Express Credit Card during the period will receive 10,000 Avios, which is double the usual sign-up reward of 5,000 Avios.
If the person signing up is invited by an existing member, the new cardholder will get 12,000 bonus Avios, double the normal 6,000 points.
The existing member who invited the person to sign up will receive 6,000 bonus Avios, up from 4,000.
There is also an exclusive offer available for British Airways Executive Club members. They will receive 20,000 Avios when they sign up for a card, up from the usual 10,000 Avios.
The offer for Executive Club members is available for less time than the other offers mentioned above. It expires on 22 February 2022.
To qualify for these bonuses, the new cardholder must spend £1,000 on the card in their first three months.
New cardholders will also receive 1 Avios point for every £1 spent on top of the welcome bonuses. This means new members will get an extra 1,000 points through spending the £1,000 required to qualify for the bonus.

All bonuses on the British Airways American Express Premium Plus Card depend on the new cardholder spending £3,000 in their first three months.
