British Airways Avios
Last updated July 4, 2026
The play with British Airways miles is to use them for short distance flights on American Airlines and other OneWorld carriers. British Airways uses a distance-based award chart, meaning you can find some flights for as little as 7,500 miles each way.
The current welcome bonus on the British Airways Visa Signature® Card is 75,000 after spending $500,000 in 3 months.
The annual fee on the British Airways Visa Signature® Card is $95.
The British Airways Visa Signature® Card is built for airline earning. Combined with AwardClaw's award-drop alerts, you can use the welcome bonus to book premium-cabin saver-level redemptions identified within hours of inventory loading.
