News in brief:
5 Heathrow Rewards points per £1 with parking
Heathrow Rewards is running a special deal with Official Heathrow Parking for the next few weeks.
You will receive 5 Heathrow Rewards points for every £1 spent, compared to the usual 1 point per £1. If you convert those to Avios, that works out at 5 Avios points per £1.
You need to book via the Official Heathrow Parking website and book by 22nd March, for parking completed by 23rd March. The offer is not showing on the parking website but was emailed by Heathrow Rewards.
Avios.com partners with kulula.com
avios.com has announced a new partnership with budget airline kulula.com. You will earn 3 Avios for every Rand 10 you spend with them.
This is not as bizarre as you might imagine. There is a South African version of the avios.com programme and Kulula is owned by Comair, the British Airways franchise partner in SA.
Double bonuses on American’s Birmingham to New York route
Finally, there are two parallel bonuses running until 30th April to persuade you to try American’s Birmingham to New York route.
If you fly the route and credit the flight to British Airways Executive Club, you will receive:
6,000 Avios for a business class return
3,000 Avios for an economy class return
ALL cash booking classes count. Full details and the link to register can be found here.
In addition, you will receive 50% bonus On Business points when you credit the flight to an On Business account.
