Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Important dates for your diary (March 2015)

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Here is the latest edition of our regular feature which summarises offers that are ending soon.

It pulls together the different deals mentioned on our Top Avios Points Earning Offers, Top Hotel Bonus Points Offers and Top UK Credit Card Offers pages.

Miles and points offers which are about to close

The most important ones for me are:

  • the tripled bonus on the IHG credit cards, because we don’t know if such a good deal will be back in the medium term
  • the ‘£50 off a £100 airbnb booking’ deal
  • the 30% bonus on Tesco transfers to Virgin Atlantic
  • the Kaligo hotel booking offer, worth up to 20,000 Avios
  • the ‘£50 off a £100 Thistle Hotels booking’ deal

    What do you reckon the chances of the 10,000 MBNA Virgin offer being extended? They have a history of doing this…

    • Rob says:

      Might do, honestly don’t know. If not, I am sure it will be back in a few months.

  • Andi says:

    with the IHG 60k Triple bonus, does anyone know how its triggered? i have the card, just received, and have made one purchase on it. I think i need to make a single purchase on it to trigger bonus but does this need to hit my statement by end of March? or does the fact i have the card before the bonus term end mean that i can spend whenever and bonus will hit?

    • James says:

      I too am wondering the same things, applied and accepted on 29th March, but I will only do the first purchase in April (1st or 2nd, depending on whether the card arrives), will I still receive the bonus?
