Back in September, I wrote a piece about Bicester Village, who had joined as a British Airways Executive Club partner.
Everything you need to know about Bicester, including my trip report out there (!), can be found in this Bicester Village post.
Until August 15th, you can earn 500% more Avios than usual.
At Bicester, you will earn 25 Avios points for every £4 you spend. At the European outlets owned by the same group, you will earn 25 Avios for every Euro 4 you spend, which is an even better deal.
All you need to do is to present your British Airways Executive Card and your receipts at the Welcome Centre before you leave.
Do try to avoid visiting Bicester at the weekends, though, as I’m not sure the stress would be worth even 500% bonus Avios.
