This innovative business credit card, a release said, will reward customers based on their spending and make payments more flexible.

“With leading edge features and benefits, the British Airways Visa Business Credit Card earns business customers miles, which can be redeemed with British Airways or any member of the oneworld™ alliance including American Airlines. BA cardholders earn 1 BA mile for every US$1 or equivalent spent and 2 BA miles for every US$1 or equivalent spent on British Airways purchases. As a bonus, FirstCaribbean also gives customers 5,000 BA miles with the issuance of their first card,” the release said.

Additional benefits include automatic enrolment in the British Airways Executive Club exclusive concierge service, travel assistance services, car rental and travel insurance and free access to the Visa Virtual Advisor, just to name a few.

Customers can also receive a companion ticket whenever the card is used to purchase a qualifying round-trip full-fare ticket* from the Caribbean to any British Airways destination in First, Club WorldSM (business class) or World Traveller PlusSM (premium economy class) .

With the British Airways Visa Business Card customers have the opportunity to make full payments or to repay as little as 10 percent of outstanding balances.

The Bank has also enhanced the FirstCaribbean Visa Business Card. This card maintains the convenience and simplicity for which Visa has become known.

This enhanced product now includes a flexible payment option that provides customers the choice to make full payments or to repay as little as 10 percent of outstanding balances.

In addition, the FirstCaribbean Visa Business Credit Card offers key financial management benefits, including easy access to working capital, improved cash flow management and easier separation of personal and business expenses-a very important advantage when filing tax returns.

FirstCaribbean Visa Business cardholders can spend at more than 24 million merchant locations, car rental companies and hotels around the world, providing them with millions of alternatives to select the most convenient providers.
