New: Earn Avios with taxi app Hailo
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
British Airways Executive Club launched a new partnership yesterday with taxi hailing app Hailo.
If you register your BAEC number in the Hailo app, you will earn Avios for every ride you take in London. You will earn 1 Avios for every £1 spent.
Until 31st December, new Hailo customers will earn 400 bonus Avios on your first London airport transfer and 100 Avios on each subsequent airport transfer. Existing Hailo customers will receive 100 Avios per transfer.
To add your BAEC number to your profile, do the following:
Click the Account icon in the upper left corner of the app
Go to Profile
Click on British Airways Executive Club number
Enter your number – all done!
You will only get this option if you are in London and you will only earn Avios on rides in London.
The 400 bonus Avios for new customers are triggered by a journey to any London airport – Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Luton or Stansted.
More details can be found on the Hailo site here.
I don’t know of any codes for free Hailo sign-up credit which still work – STANDARD10 expired on Monday. Please post below if you know of any.
PS. Remember that you can earn 400 Avios in Iberia Plus just for registering with the Spanish version of Hailo – no rides required! This ONLY works on Android phones because you need to fool the app into believing that you are Spain and this hack cannot be done with an iPhone. I explained how to do it in this article.
