Update on the Zipcar / Avios relationship

I wrote recently about the new partnership between pay-by-the-hour car sharing site Zipcar and avios.com / British Airways Executive Club.

It wasn’t clear at the time what would happen if you were an existing Zipcar member.  There is no option on the Zipcar site to add your BA details.

With my own Zipcar membership up for renewal this month, I emailed the company at [email protected] to ask.

It appears that they will not allow you to collect Avios points during your current membership year.  However, as long as your provide the company with a BA or avios.com membership number before your renewal date, you will start collecting from that point.

I have now sent over my BAEC details and look forward to receiving a few miles from October onwards.

If you want to join Zipcar, you can sign up via their website here.
