BA Premium Amex Companion Voucher - Eligibility Changing!
- Thread starter ShivP
- Start date
Does it even work/much benefit for the base card with business or first? I thought it was the premium (£250 pa) that's more impactful.
Wonder if they're changing the threshold for the premium card, was considering jumping over when I have a spare £250
.
Already in a tight battle to reach the threshold in ~6 months to book some South Africa flights.
Edit - oofff they're doing it for premium as well (£15k) and the fee is up to £300

Better get spending!
I think the fee increase generally is quite inconsequential compared to a 50% hike in the required spending...
True, but not much of an issue for me as I can put work international travel on it

I noticed this increase earlier. It's quite a big jump, isn't it? I only have the free pauper card so I had to spend £12k to get the companion voucher. Based on the current year I should be able to reach the threshold. Hopefully a few flights will get me over the line.
