    No, you need to be logged in now.

    This is get around some of the issues, regulatory and otherwise, about having different offers.

    Once logged in (desktop site), click on your name (top right), scroll down, down down, and then on the left, the link to the 70k card should be there.

    We just clicked on it to apply, 70k offer on a different looking page than the public page.

    I’m sure Amex is pleased by the disclaimer BA had on the 70k offer page:-

    The information relating to the financial benefits and services of the Card is the responsibility of American Express Services Europe Limited and British Airways accepts no responsibility for inaccuracies.

    BA also doesn’t have any proper FCA disclaimer to describe its role in offering/advertising the card except as “an introducer appointed representative, for insurance mediation activities only, of American Express Insurance Services Europe Limited.

    I love these forums. Had the same scare, seeing the reduced Avios offering. Thanks for the tip on having to be logged in. Application, for my wife, done in minutes. Thanks everyone.

    It’s a great forum.

    Card already here, tracker stating 70k so once logged in the link works just fine.

    Happy.

    I had the same panic! I went to refer my partner for the BAPP card through my Amex referral page and it came up with 35k avios when he clicked the link. I thought I was going mad for a second as I could have sworn it was a 70k bonus. I then went directly to the BA website and on the credit card section low and behold it showed the 70k bonus! So different bonuses depending on whether you apply via Amex or BA. Very cheeky!

    Does this mean that those of us who applied when it said 70k before logging in not knowing we were supposed to re-authenticate but are showing 35k should be updated to 70k? This is clearly admitting they were wrong

    I only have the £10k tracker for Companion Voucher. Do you have a separate 70k Avios tracker?

    We’ve only got the 70k tracker so far:

    Click on membership icon – tells you points to be transferred, welcome bonus spend X amount by Y date to receive 70k points, invite friend, etc

    Amex are now saying I don’t qualify for the 70k despite confirming on the phone before applying that I do 🙁
