Card Highlights
Chase British Airways Visa Signature is a Credit Card
With a credit card, you can carry a balance and accrue interest if necessary. Note this is not advised by me. The points game does not work well, if you are carrying a balance and accruing interest. See #4 in Let’s Get Started To Earning Free Travel.
Card Rewards
Earn Avios with the card as a member of the British Airways Executive Club. Learn about the British Airways Executive Club program here.
Sign-up Bonus
Before you apply, make sure your ability to get the sign-up bonus is not limited by Chase restrictions on an additional sign-up bonus or the Chase 5/24 rule. Also be mindful of the unwritten 30 day application rule.

Every calendar year you make $30,000 in purchases on your British Airways Visa Signature card, you will earn a Travel Together Ticket good for two years when you redeem Avios for a flight on British Airways. Read here about how I took advantage of this for my family for free business class flights on British Airways to London. For more details, visit ba.com/traveltogetherticket.
