British Airways On Business manager Ailis Gavan said: “This new card offers business owners across the UK the opportunity to collect On Business Points, as well as Avios.

“Businesses can spend these On Business Points on seats and upgrades through our On Business programme, which is free to join and can make business travel simpler with an online travel management tool.”

American Express said that complimentary supplementary cards will be issued for up to 99 staff to enable the SMEs to manage all the expenses under single business card account.

Additionally, the cardholders will be offered with travel insurance including cover for flight cancellations, delays as well as delayed luggage if they paid for service suing the card.
