Last chance: 1,000 Avios for joining Heathrow Rewards and spending £25

A quick reminder that the current Heathrow Rewards sign-up bonus, in conjunction with British Airways, ends on the 14th.

You will receive 1,000 Heathrow Rewards points – convertible into 1,000 Avios, Virgin, Lufthansa or Etihad miles – if you sign up and spend £25 at Heathrow. 

You MUST do your £25 of spending on or before the 14th so this is only useful if flying in the next few days.  You won’t have received your card by then but you can give your number manually to the cashier or download the Passbook card to your iPhone.

Full details of the BA offer can be found here at ba,com – scroll down to the Heathrow Rewards bit.  You can then click through to the Heathrow Rewards website to sign up.

Remember that you are limited to one membership per household.  Their computer will spot duplicate addresses so, if you want a 2nd card for your household, use ‘1a’ as your address instead of ‘1’ for example.

How to earn Avios from UK credit cards (June 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:

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

SPECIAL OFFER: Until 13th June, the sign-up bonus on The Platinum Card is doubled to 60,000 Membership Rewards points – and you get £200 to spend at Amex Travel too! Apply here.

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.

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.

EDIT: Applications for this card are temporarily suspended due to IT issues with the British Airways On Business SME loyalty scheme.

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.
