My 2015 Credit Card Strategy (And Why It’s Different From Ben’s)

A few weeks ago Ben complied his breakdown of how he earned miles last year, which led to some interesting conversations about how us "normal people" go about earning miles.

One of the things I like to do at the beginning of each year is go through my credit card portfolio and draft up a bit of an outline for the coming months. Ben is constantly telling people to determine their travel goals and apply all this to their own lifestyle, and I thought it might be interesting to share a few more details about the approach my husband and I take when choosing the best travel credit cards for us.

So there are a few things that are different about our situation in comparison to Ben's (but are maybe similar to yours):

British Airways Reduces Award Fuel Surcharges… Slightly…

British Airways is notorious for their outrageously high fuel surcharges, which are only exacerbated by the hefty UK Air Passenger Duty (APD), which applies if you have travel originating in the UK. While oil prices have dropped, for the most part fuel surcharges haven't. Why? The most simple answer is because the airlines can... no one is holding them accountable.

Anyway, Head for Points notes that British Airways has lowered their fuel surcharges on longhaul award tickets.

Earlier in the week British Airways lowered fuel surcharges as follows:

-- The fuel surcharges on roundtrip longhaul economy class flights was reduced from £229 to £209

-- The fuel surcharges on roundtrip longhaul premium class flights was reduced from £359 to £329
