Chase, British Airways Modify Branded Card Rewards Program

British Airways and Chase Card Services have changed the rewards program associated with the British Airways Visa Signature card. New benefits include a 25% increase in the number of miles earned.

Card members who spend $30,000 will receive a companion redemption voucher for a trans-Atlantic flight in the same class as the seat flown in by the card holder. The companion redemption voucher is valid for two years.

Additionally, new cardmembers will receive a bonus 100,000 BA Miles. Cardmembers receive 50,000 BA Miles after their first purchase, and then another 50,000 miles after they spend at least $2,000 in the first three months. The 100,000 BA Miles is equivalent to the redemption value of two round trip trans-Atlantic reward flights or four domestic round trip tickets.
