Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Coming on Monday: Win 100,000 Avios points with Bink and Head for Points

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

On Monday morning we will be launching a major new competition, exclusive to Head for Points readers.

In association with new loyalty app Bink, we are giving away 100,000 Avios points to one very lucky reader.

Bink is a new app-based loyalty platform which allows you to collect Avios at High Street retailers without showing your Avios card or the Bink app.  All you need to do it register your payment cards and your Avios number with Bink.

When you make a payment in a participating shop using a registered payment card, Bink will automatically add Avios points to your account.

The first partner is PizzaExpress.  We have tested PizzaExpress with Bink and it worked perfectly.  In a tough assignment, I sent Anika and my wife down to PizzaExpress where they ate, paid with an Amex card registered in Bink, and a few days later 260 Avios appeared in Anika’s account.  Easy.

You will learn more about Bink on Monday.  More importantly, you will learn how to win 100,000 Avios points!

Do NOT download the Bink app today – wait until Monday when we will explain exactly what you need to do to enter.

On the other hand, if you do not already have an avios.com account, as opposed to a British Airways Executive Club account, you may want to open one here at avios.com.  You will need it in order to use Bink and to enter the competition.

    “Anika and my wife” ?

  • Toby Warren says:

    What happens if you’ve already downloaded it?

    Will you miss out?

  • Frank De Jongh Swemer says:

    Also, the Bink app and Avios earning can’t be set up if you have spaces in your surname… a technical issue they are aware of, but fail to tell people about…

    • Sigma421 says:

      Darn! That’s me excluded then. Rob. Can we borrow your negotiating skills again?

      • Fenny says:

        Can’t you hyphenate or underscore your name on the app?

      • RussellH says:

        What is the situation with a household account? Ours starts with ‘The’, then our surnames, joined with a hyphen, then ‘household’

        Or could we quote our individual names and original Avios account numbers?

        Or should we be opening separate accounts for this?

        • Rob says:

          Good question but I assume there is an answer which I should be able to get during the course of next week!

  • Mr Bridge says:

    What is the earning rate??

    I know the Tesco gift card bonus isn’t on at the moment, but if it runs again at 150cc( 360avios) for £50, or 15% off pizza express gift cards, then for pizza express may not be such a good deal.

    are any other partners proposed?

  • BrianDT says:

    Many loyalty cards not accepted…yet.

  • Mr Bridge says:

    Why doesn’t Barclays / Barclaycard support Bink?

    Because we haven’t agreed a deal yet, but we’re getting close, so register your card anyway and when it’s supported we’ll let you know and you’ll be ready to go.

  • Lbc says:

    who is Anika?

  • Rob says:

    Now that is a good question!
