How British Airways charges your card
On ba.com your card is charged when the ticket is issued, usually within a few hours of booking. Corporate credit cards billed in the UK pay a fee of up to 2% of the booking, capped at £30 per transaction; debit cards and personal credit cards don't.
Card purchases from British Airways earn cashback once they clear, as long as the payment shows British Airways as the merchant. Holds and pre-authorisations aren't purchases.
Incard's cashback rates
| Plan | Travel |
|---|---|
| Free (£0 a month) | 1% |
| Grow (£49 a month) | 1.25% |
| Plus (from £199 a month) | from 1.5% |
On travel alone, Grow's extra cashback covers its £49 fee from £19,600 a month of spend. Our cashback calculator shows the breakeven for your own mix, and our Incard plans guide compares Free, Grow and Plus.
What counts
- Only card purchases at brands on Incard's eligible list earn cashback. Incard matches the merchant name on the payment against that list.
- Fees, ATM withdrawals, cash, transfers and similar charges don't count.
- Refunds are deducted from your cashback.
- Cashback is paid on purchases once they clear, not when you tap the card.
- Incard reviews a request to redeem within 5 working days and pays it within 14 working days.
Travel agents, ticketing agents and other travel arrangement businesses are on Incard's restricted industries list, so they can't open an account. Businesses that buy travel can.
