British Airways Visa Signature®

Earns: British Airways Executive Club

GigaTake:

Best used strategically to get a one-time windfall of British Airways miles, though this can require a lot of spending. After that, the rewards for everyday use are unimpressive; other cards are better for earning points that can be transferred to BA.
