Get 1,500 bonus Avios with any British Airways economy flight booked by Tuesday

In any effort to perk up bookings in its current sale, British Airways is offering an extra carrot if you make a booking before next Tuesday 15th.

Book any economy return flight – domestic, short or long haul – before Tuesday and you will receive 1,500 bonus Avios when you fly.

Here is the small print:

You MUST register in advance via this page on ba.com

You must fly between 1st October to 22nd October 2015 or 1st November to 13th December 2015

You must fly on “a published or corporate negotiated net fare return flight travelling in Euro Traveller, Domestic, World Traveller or World Traveller Plus (British Airways), Economy (Iberia and Iberia Express) and Main Cabin or Main Cabin Extra (American Airlines). Flight must depart and return to an airport in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland, on a British Airways, American Airlines, Iberia or Iberia Express operated service.”

You can receive the bonus for a maximum of four flights

If you were planning to make a booking in the sale, this is not a bad deal.  If you value an Avios point at 1p you are effectively getting at £15 discount on a cheap European trip.

To get your bonus, you MUST go to this page on ba.com and click ‘Activate Offer’ before you book.

How to earn Avios from UK credit cards (May 2022)

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. 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.

The Platinum Card has doubled its sign-up bonus to 60,000 Membership Rewards points, which convert to 60,000 Avios, if you apply by 1st June 2022.

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 10,000 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.

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.
