In the UK what rewards credit card is best for relatively frequent travelers? Amex platinum / BA premium / something else?

To be honest they are all dogshit because of the EU caps on interchange fees. If you have a SSN you are better off just using a US credit card that has no foreign transaction fees and decent multipliers on base and/or category spend. Send money via TransferWise back to the US (if you are getting paid via a UK bank account)

CSR or Prestige come to mind as decent choices, more so the Prestige because of the additional 5x bonus on restaurants.
