I currently have a Barclaycard freedom rewards card that i get vouchers of all sorts of things and make good use of them.

Im not sure if i could be getting more though if i switched. I'm aware of the Amex BA card that most like on here, but i don't make long haul flights that regularly and when i do i need to upgrade and having flown to Vegas a couple of times on a mates free flights and we've tried to upgrade its been impossible due to the limited number available, so i don't think a BA Amex would be that good for me.

Anyone have any other recommendations?

I pay off in full each month and spend round 30-35k a year on it.

It is always tricky to work out, but your Barclay card would give you an average of 0.36% cash back (depending how much you spend at participating supermarkets)

The current amazon credit card gives a minimum 0.5% back in amazon vouchers, and even more if you but stuff on amazon prime (1.5%).


I do similar to you and payoff each month and put all spending on the card - about £24k per annum.
