Win 10,000 Heathrow Rewards points (= 10,000 Avios, Flying Club, Miles & More miles)

Over at Business Traveller magazine, they are running a very simple email competition to win 10,000 Heathrow Rewards points.  This is to promote the relaunch of the scheme and their current (until 9th September) double points promotion.

10,000 Heathrow Rewards points is a pretty good deal.  That will get you 10,000 Avios points, 10,000 Virgin Flying Club miles or 10,000 Miles & More miles.  You could also get £100 of Heathrow shopping vouchers.

There are also 5 runners-up prizes of 2,000 Heathrow Rewards points.

There have also been fairly regular ‘100% transfer bonuses’ to Avios from Heathrow Rewards over the last couple of years, so your prize could be worth as much as 20,000 Avios!

There are two ways of entering:

If you are not already a Heathrow Rewards member, you can join via this Business Traveller link (deleted as now dead) and be entered automatically.  However, that would be a bit silly given that you can join via the link in this post and earn 1,000 bonus points (= 1,000 Avios etc) when you spend £25 at Heathrow.

If you ARE already a Heathrow Rewards member – which most of you will be – you can enter by emailing baa_feedback@heathrow.com with the subject line “Business Traveller competition”.  You need to include your Heathrow Rewards card number in the body of the email, no other information is needed.

Full details can be found at Business Traveller.  I strongly recommend entering, because I do not expect there to be a huge number of entries.  The closing date is August 31st.

How to earn Avios from UK credit cards (January 2023)

As a reminder, there are various ways of earning Avios points from UK credit cards.  Many cards also have generous sign-up bonuses!

In February 2022, Barclaycard launched two exciting new Barclaycard Avios Mastercard cards with a bonus of up to 25,000 Avios. You can apply here.

You qualify for the bonus on these cards even if you have a British Airways American Express card:

There are two official British Airways American Express cards with attractive sign-up bonuses:

SPECIAL OFFER: Until 21st February 2023, the sign-up bonus on the British Airways Premium Plus American Express card is increased to 35,000 Avios from 25,000 Avios. You can apply here.

You can also get generous sign-up bonuses by applying for American Express cards which earn Membership Rewards points.

Run your own business?

We recommend Capital On Tap for limited companies. You earn 1 Avios per £1 which is impressive for a Visa card, along with a sign-up bonus worth 10,500 Avios.

SPECIAL OFFER: Capital On Tap has increased its sign-up bonus to points worth 30,000 Avios if you apply by 4th February. This is exclusive to Head for Points readers. Click here to apply.

You should also consider the British Airways Accelerating Business credit card. This is open to sole traders as well as limited companies and has a 30,000 Avios sign-up bonus.

There are also generous bonuses on the two American Express Business cards, with the points converting at 1:1 into Avios. These cards are open to sole traders as well as limited companies.
