LLoyds Avios Credit Card

Options
Firstly sorry if this has been asked but had a look and couldn't see any former posts. I've had the Lloyds Avios credit card for a while now due to the 0% interest if you clear the balance each month and avios points, basically BA points. Total disaster came in an email though that they were closing the avios/ba rewards so basically the card is no good for me. Is there anything else that offers what LLoyds did or even comes close? Thanks

    Amex gold card if you can spend 3K in first 3 months. 20000 points/avios available or 23K if you get referred.
    Other BA or if you shop at Sainsburys they have a mastercard where you can earn avios.

    Look on MSE under airline credit cards for full details

    I have BA Amex which has no annual charge and collects Avios. Other Perks like shop small cashback and other offers via retailers too. Works well for me

    Or you could look at the Amex Nectar card, now that Nectar points are fully interchangeable with Avios (plus if you are a serious Avios collector, some tactical shopping in Sainsbury can give you a decent boost there!)

    Or you could switch to simple cashback over Avios and go for the Amex platinum cashback card at up to 1.25%

    And whichever one you go for, there are usually options with Amex where you can get referred by someone for a bigger introductory bonus... for example with the platinum one, you could get another £40 - not sure what you'd get for the Avios ones, as I don't have them. But don't leave anything on the table if you can grab it!

    Just to add to the above, virtually every single credit card in existence is 0% interest if the monthly balance is paid in full - that wasn't anything special from Lloyds. 

    And if you're not particularly tied to BA and don't want Amex, the Virgin credit cards are good options.
