Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
There are a lot of offers around at the moment offering bonus Avios points on your hotel stays. In general, these rely on you turning down hotel loyalty points and asking to receive a one-off Avios bonus instead.
I have already covered three of these deals – click for my articles:
triple Avios with Accor (Novotel, Mercure, Sofitel, Ibis, Pullman etc) until October 31st
triple Avios with Hyatt and Andaz until September 30th
triple Avios with Small Luxury Hotels of the World until September 30th
Here are the other offers. You can find full details of all of these by visiting the ‘News and Offers’ page of ba.com here.
Fairmont
You will receive 20% off and double Avios on stays at European Fairmont properties (not the North American ones) until 30th October.
This includes The Savoy in London, below, and Fairmont St Andrews. Full details can be found on the Fairmont website here.
Mandarin Oriental
Until September 30th, 25 Mandarian Oriental hotels are offering double Avios points – 1,600 per stay – when you pay an ‘eligible rate’. This appears to exclude most promotional deals.
Full details are on the Mandarin Oriental website here.
The Langham
Until September 30th, you will receive a 10% discount on club rooms and suites and double Avios points, up to 3,000 per stay, at Langham Group properties.
