The best credit card sign-up offer out there is once again available for a limited time (the offer seems to come and go). You can apply here. You earn 50,000 British Airways miles after your first purchase, and 50,000 more miles after spending $2,000 on the card within three months. As Gary points out, this card can be especially lucrative thanks to the ability to “pool” accounts in the same household, along with the free companion certificate for spending $30,000.

    I am sorry, but please explain the family pooling idea. Does this mean that my wife and I will merge points in 1 account ? Thanks

    Have you tried using your BA miles yet? Could not be easier! The redemptions are terrific IMHO and they are so flexible. You can cancel for free and have miles credited back right up until 24hr before departure. Cancel or change w/i 24h or after you’ve started your trip and it will just be a small $50 fee. So generous! I’ve booked one coach domestic ticket (just 2 days in advance on AA MCO->IAH, 25K, $5) and an international one-way JAL HKG->SFO in C, 50K + ~$100 tax). I am soooooo glad I went for this promo – I count these as some of the most valuable points and miles I have right now…
