2h agoBA Amex Premium Plus: 58% Avios cut coming October 7. Act now.
American Express UK is slashing Avios earnings on the British Airways Premium Plus Card by up to 58% on BA and BA Holidays purchases, dropping from 3 Avios to 1.25 Avios per GBP effective October 7, 2026. Regular spend drops from 1.5 to 1.25 Avios per GBP, a 17% cut. The only remaining value is the 2-4-1 Companion Voucher after spending 15,000 GBP, but the card is becoming uncompetitive overall.
the play
Front-load your BA and BA Holidays spending on this card before October 7, 2026, to lock in the higher earn rates, then reconsider whether the Companion Voucher justifies keeping the card afterward.
