I use American Express mainly for my work / travel expenses . Their service is miles ahead of Any other card. They answer within seconds, are always extremely courteous and give you solutions rather than reading from a script

A very easy credit card, and a fantastic online service that allows you to manage your card completely online, even to view your pin if necessary. The annual statements are also very useful.

Great service, great perks - fly first class for less

I took up a BA Amex card two years ago, and the service is great. The app makes paying the bill so easy. The customer service call team are always helpful, efficient and go out of their way to help. For example, I called from New York to say I'll be abroad and I'd like to use my card - the agent asked if I had any further travel, and on the same call updated my card for the next three foreign trips. I used my companion voucher and we flew first class with BA to Barbados for less than £500 return. Now that's a perk of spending on a credit card

Great benefits - but expensive card fee

I have an airmails card with AMEX - and the annual fee is quite high - but I do renew each year because the miles and benefits are worth it. I always have good experiences when I contact the company and you do get the feeling they are going the extra mile

Our review of British Airways | American Express® Premium Plus credit card
.png "Our review of British Airways | American Express® Premium Plus credit card is by Alex")
The British Airways American Express Premium Plus credit card is mid-table on Choose Wisely when it comes to affordability. They try to entice customers with their flight-based incentives such as 9000 Avios in return for spending £1,000 in the first three months. You can also earn 1 Avios for every £1 you spend – to put it into context with 20,000 Avios you could get one return flight from London to Moscow or another location in Europe and Africa.
As well as the flight incentives you can also receive the standard American Express benefits with your British Airways Premium Plus credit card. These range from their online management tool, priority tickets to events and films and protection for shopping and travel.
It’s difficult to find any online reviews that are specific to this particular card, however reviews for the American Express brand in general are quite mixed. With a rating of ‘average’ from TrustPilot, customers are pleased with the reliability and online security, however there are customers that are dissatisfied with their customer service and the fact their cards aren’t always accepted everywhere - coverage is improving over time.
Overall verdict: Even though it’s a tad more expensive than other cards, the British Airways benefits are quite an incentive if you are eligible for this card. There is also no annual fee and with the amount of protection you get for travel and shopping, it could be a card worth looking into, especially if you’re a regular traveller.
