    I applied for the fee free Amex which offers 20000 Avios for a 1K spend.
    I was slightly concerned that on my app I've got a 1000 Avios reward straight away and my spending is going towards another 5000 if I spend £1000 by April.
    I've spoken to live chat a couple of times but they don't seem to know what I'm talking about !
    Is this the normal procedure and the remaining 14000/15000 will be added once I hit my target spend, or has something gone wrong and I've got a less generous offer ?

    Did you add a supplementary card by any chance soon after joining?

    These often trigger bonuses which aren't very well publicised:

    1000 Points seems to be the bonus presently.

    Yes I added my partner 
    That'll be that 1000 then.

    Where did you see the 20,000 points for opening the card and spending £1000? The usual bonus is 5000.

    It was in an email from BA Executive Club.
