God Save The Points: "In the UK, British Airways struck a deal with Amex where cardholders receive enhanced seat availability when they look to redeem an earned companion voucher through the credit card, which can either cover the points for a second person, or be used to halve the number of points needed for one."
"How much more? On a recent trip to New York, my search went from four seats available all day across – like one scattered across all flights for a standard searcher — to more than 4 seats on most British Airways flights all day, giving me more like 40 seats to choose from. On some dates it was the difference in no seats at all, and many seats."
