British Airways Visa Card Sweden
British Airways has announced a new promo offer for Visa Card for Swedish market.
The card will allow to accumulate Avios on BA Executive Club reward program for residents in Sweden.
British Airways Visa Card
- Annual fee: 395 SEK a year
- Points earning: 1 Avios for each 20 SEK spent and 2 Avios for purchases with British Airways
- 5000 bonus Avios are awarded on the first purchase made on the British Airways Visa Card before 30 September 2017
- British Airways Companion Voucher after spending 500 000 SEK a year (SIC! More than triple times the amount required with SAS American Express Premium/Elite)
- 10% flight discount on a single or return journey between Sweden and the UK on BA operated flights
- Application form is here
I don’t see many people applying for this card, unless they regularly take British Airways to fly between Scandinavia and the UK. Even though, Avios collection might be of interest for some Scandinavian travelers, but SAS is offering much better service and redemption options in comparison to BA Executive Club reward program. As there is no minimum spending required, technically you can apply for the card, make one purchase, receive 5000 Avios and close the card.
The companion voucher, however, is a complete joke and doesn’t stand a chance against SAS American Express 2-4-1 voucher.
And let’s not forget, British Airways has been constantly on strikes for several years in a row, which doesn’t add much credibility.
