What the former offer required
The recorded invitation was for the British Airways American Express Credit Card. Eligible new cardmembers could receive 15,000 Avios after £2,000 of qualifying spend in their first three months of Cardmembership. The application deadline was 6 October 2026.
The qualifying-spend window and application deadline were separate: the three-month window started after Cardmembership began, but only for an eligible application made during the campaign.
What is confirmed now
On 7 October 2026, the official product page listed no annual fee, a 29.1% variable purchase rate, a 29.1% representative APR and an assumed £1,200 credit limit. It also stated that cardholders can earn at least 4,000 Avios when a friend is approved, up to 90,000 Avios a year.
That public page does not confirm the welcome bonus or exact referrer reward on this personal invitation, and the personalised landing page could not be independently loaded. Boost My Rewards therefore does not present a replacement amount as current.
Eligibility still needs checking
The current product page says applicants must be 18 or over, have a current UK bank or building society account, a permanent UK home address and annual income of at least £15,000. It also says applicants are not eligible for a welcome bonus if they hold or have held a personal American Express Card in the previous 24 months. Approval and the applicable credit terms remain subject to Amex’s assessment.
How this archive was checked
The former amounts, spend threshold, 24-month rule, annual referrer cap and 6 October closing date came from the site owner’s Amex referral screenshot supplied on 2 October 2026. The current card costs and general referral statement were checked against the official product page on 7 October 2026.
