Wednesday 12 August 2009, British Airways and American Express have announced a renewal of their strategic partnership.

In these difficult times it is more valuable than ever for customers to be able to get something back from their everyday spending. The partnership between British Airways and American Express has been very popular with customers and I'm delighted that we're continuing our partnership.Andrew Swaffield, Managing Director - The Mileage Company

The new agreement, managed by British Airways' rewards subsidiary, The Mileage Company, includes three consumer co-brand cards, a corporate co-brand card and merchant acceptance agreement.

In addition, the American Express Membership Rewards® agreement, launched in August 2008, is extended into the US for the first time.

  1. British Airways American Express consumer and corporate Cardmembers in the UK can continue to collect BA Miles® and On Business Points respectively.

  3. British Airways will continue to accept American Express as a payment method worldwide.
