Avios and RAC to announce a new partnership tomorrow

Avios is launching a new partnership with roadside rescue group RAC, starting tomorrow.

RAC is offering 30% off RAC breakdown cover, together with bonus Avios points.  

There are three options, to quote:

Roadside & Recovery – If you buy this you’ll collect 1,500 Avios

Roadside, Recovery & At Home – If you buy this, you’ll collect 3,000 Avios

Roadside, Recovery, At Home and Onward Travel – If you buy this, you’ll collect 4,500 Avios

Full details can be found here on the RAC website.  Pricing for the AA and RAC can be, ahem, ‘fluid’ so do check other options as well before signing up.

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.
