Likewise, if you use an American Express Rewards Plus Gold card to purchase a VS ticket through the American Express website you will earn 2.5 miles per USD, which is better than 4 miles per GBP.

In any event, if MNBA were to offer a USA version of this card I think it's reasonable to assume they would follow the pattern set by the BA card and most other cards, $1 = 1 mile.
