Overview

The British Airways Visa Signature Card is a powerful airline card that offers exclusive offers when flying the carrier, such as a 10% discount on British Airways flights originating in the U.S., up to $600 in statement credits for award flight taxes and fees every year and the ability to earn a Travel Together ticket after you spend $30,000 on the card in a calendar year. You’ll also earn lots of Avios for your future reward flights, whether you’re saving up for a flight to Hawaii or a long-haul business-class seat.
