Spring has finally sprung, and if you are itching to shake off those winter blues with a little bit of travel, you definitely will want to check out the new British Airways Visa Card offered by Chase Bank.
Never had a Chase credit card before? You won’t want to pass this one up! Not only does the British Airways Signature Visa credit card offer incredible reward miles normally, it’s extremely easy for the first time account holder to earn enough bonus miles in the first three months to receive two free transatlantic flights roundtrip, of course!
If you apply by May 6, Chase is offering 50,000 bonus miles for your first purchase with the British Airways Visa Signature Card and another 50,0000 miles after $2,500 worth of transactions within the first three months. That’s on top of the normal 2.5 British Airways miles you earn for every $1 you spend on British Airways purchases and the 1.25 BA miles you earn whenever you use the card on anything else. Plus, applying for a new card will automatically enroll you in British Airway’s Executive Club, allowing you to significantly increase the number of frequent flyer miles you earn based on their three-tiered program.
In addition to the regular British Airways miles you earn, every year you spend $30,000, you will receive a companion travel voucher that will allow you to anyone with you on the same flight in the same class of service you are flying in. Thirty thousand dollars seems like a lot, but if you run everything like utilities, gas, phone service, and groceries through your British Airways Signature Visa, it adds up fairly quickly. Two free roundtrip tickets to Europe, one from British Airways miles and the other with the companion voucher, makes transatlantic travel extremely do-able.
Concerned about the inconvenience of international travel? British Airways has teamed up with American Airlines and Iberia to give the consumer more: more than 400 destinations, more convenient connections, and more schedule options. In addition, British Airways Visa Signature cardholders are eligible for BA miles on American Airlines, Iberia, and 9 other “Oneworld Airline Partners.”
Once you’ve reached your overseas destination, use the Chase British Airways Visa card without worry because there are no foreign transaction fees that consumers are often surprised by after using other credit cards while traveling internationally.
Chase Bank’s newest Visa card does have an annual fee of $95. Its 14.24% variable APR is on the high side of average, but the benefits offered seem to outweigh the annual fee by, well, the value of at least two roundtrip tickets to Europe.
If you have excellent credit and travel frequently or want to begin traveling more, the British Airways Signature Visa card has great travel rewards, and the new cardholder incentives are definitely worth taking advantage of. Traveling internationally has never been so easy! Be sure to act before May 6, 2011 to take full advantage of this limited time offer.
