Update: The current sign-up bonus offer for the British Airways Visa is 50,000 Avios. 25,000 upon first use, and another 25,000 when you spend $2,500 within 90 days.
I know a lot of you were able to get in on the amazing 100,000 mile BA Visa bonus, so I wanted to let you know of a benefit that seems to have gone unnoticed.
When you book a British Airways flight using your BA Visa through this site, you get $50 off the roundtrip.
T&C
“*$50 discount valid on qualifying round-trip British Airways published fares purchased at www.britishairways.com/get50 only beginning March 23, 2009.

Seems like a pretty good deal. Has anyone ever taken advantage of this offer?
Tip of the hat to TPG reader David for this one!

While Barclaycard may not have as many travel credit cards as some of the other big issuers, they've been on a roll lately with their US Airways...
