Chase British Airways Visa Signature Card

The Chase British Airways credit card earns British Airways Avios on all purchases and is available to individuals in the United States.

Rewards Rates

The Chase British Airways Visa credit card accrues British Airways Avios for all purchases made on the card:

  • Earn 3 Avios points for every dollar spent on British Airways, Aer Lingus, and Iberia flight purchases.
  • Earn 2 Avios points for every dollar spent on hotel accommodations booked directly with the hotel.
  • Earn 1 Avios point for every dollar spent on all other purchases.

Redeeming British Airways Avios

British Airways Avios is a valuable frequent flyer program currency that is best used when redeemed for award flights. Members can also combine Avios balances through the British Airways Household Account feature.

Since British Airways is part of the oneworld airline alliance, Avios can be redeemed for several desirable partner airlines, including options such as Qatar Airways QSuites, Japan Airlines business class, and Aer Lingus business class.

British Airways Avios can be transferred back and forth to the other frequent flyer programs at a 1:1 ratio:

British Airways Avios can also be redeemed for air ticket upgrades, hotels, rental cars, and experiences, but these redemption options offer far less value than redeeming for flight award tickets.

Benefits

Chase British Airways Visa cardholders can receive statement credits of $100 for Economy and Premium Economy – or $200 for Business and First Class seats – three times per year, for a total of $600 in statement credits when booking a reward flight to London traveling on British Airways. Travelers must pay the taxes, fees, and carrier charges with the Chase British Airways credit card to be eligible to receive this credit.

Upon spending $30,000 USD in a calendar year, cardholders will earn a Travel Together Ticket. This ticket is valid for two years when redeeming Avios for a flight on British Airways for a companion traveling on the same flight, or use it for a 50% discount on the Avios price  when booking a solo reward flight

Cardholders can also save 10% off British Airways cash fare flights starting in the US when they book through the website provided in your welcome materials.

Insurance Coverage

The Chase British Airways Visa card offers four types of insurance coverage:

  • Baggage delay insurance
  • Lost luggage reimbursement
  • Purchase protection
  • Extended warranty protection
