Battle of the Skies #4 Virgin Points vs BA Avios – BA Secret Weapons for Entrepreneurs

Описание: Are you torn between collecting British Airways Avios or Virgin Atlantic Points? In this video, we break down the "Battle of the Skies" to help you decide which loyalty programme deserves your business spend and personal loyalty.
Whether you are looking to fly Upper Class to New York or Club World to LA, the "best" programme depends entirely on your strategy. We dive into the hidden fees, passive earning "secret weapons", and why your choice of bank could be the deciding factor.
In this video, we cover:
• The Hidden Cash Component: Did you know Virgin’s business class fees can sometimes be 60% to 200% higher than BA’s? While BA’s fees are more predictable, Virgin’s dynamic model can see surcharges spike to over £1,200 for a return flight.
• The Entrepreneur’s "Secret Weapon": We reveal how the Barclays Premier Account and Avios Rewards allow you to earn up to 2,200+ Avios every month for "doing nothing." By stacking a Barclays mortgage with your account, you can feed your travel fund passively without even touching a credit card.
• The Business Card Strategy: We compare the utility of Capital on Tap (Business Visa) for Avios earners versus the "Two-Card Strategy" for Virgin fans—where you can stack a free and paid card to separate business and personal spend while earning dual vouchers.
• Voucher Wars: Which is better? The BA Amex Companion Voucher, which offers uncapped savings (up to 176,000 Avios on a return business flight), or the Virgin Reward Voucher, which is capped at 75,000–150,000 points but can be used on any available seat on the plane?
• Availability vs. Destination: BA offers a far wider global map through the oneworld alliance, but finding one of the four guaranteed business class seats can be a nightmare. Virgin offers fewer destinations but wins on ease of spending with its "any seat available" dynamic pricing.
