Win more Qatar Airways economy class tickets to anywhere

If you didn’t win our recent Qatar Airways competition, don’t despair!  Qatar Airways is giving away four pairs of economy class tickets to (just about) anywhere to people who book a Qatar flight between now and March 22nd.

You need to add promo code BOOKANDWIN when booking online.  Full details can be found here at the Qatar website.  Their latest sale deals, valid until March 10th, are here.

Two Avis offers for bonus Avios

You may have seen the recent emailed Avis offer circulated by British Airways.  It is an OK deal – rent a Class C car for 3+ days before March 31st and receive at least 1,500 Avios.

This comprises 800 bonus Avios and the guaranteed minimum of 700 base Avios (or 3 Avios per £1, whichever is greater).   The deal is not valid in Australia or New Zealand.

Don’t bother with the BA deal though.  Iberia is running an Avis promotion which is better.

For your first rental credited to Iberia Avios before 31st March, you will receive 1,000 bonus Avios.  Your 2nd rental will earn 1,500 bonus Avios and your 3rd rental 2,000 bonus Avios.

This is on top of the standard 500 Avios for 1-2 days or 700 Avios (or 3 Avios per €1, whichever is greater) for 3+ days.

Further details can be found on the Iberia Avis page here.
