LAST CALL: Get 1,050 Avios for £12 – plus 12 copies of The Economist!

We have seen a lot of promotions for The Economist magazine over the last couple of years.  These generally involve buying a one-year subscription with up to 13,200 Avios points thrown in as a bonus.

British Airways has been running a smaller scale offer in recent weeks.  It is also a better deal, since you pay just 1.14p per Avios.  A 12 week trial subscription costs just £12 and earns 1,050 Avios.

You have only a few days left to take part as it closes on 12th August.

I wouldn’t normally recommend buying Avios at 1.14p each but this is different, because you will also get 12 issues of The Economist posted to your house.  This makes it a good package if you can find time to read them.

Here’s what you do

The home page for the offer is here.

You can choose from print only, digital only or print and digital.  The price is the same – £12 for 12 weeks.

You can pay by direct debit, credit or debit card.  I recommend using direct debit because it is a lot easier to cancel via online banking.

You must be a UK resident to take part.  Avios can only be credited to British Airways Executive Club accounts.  The offer closes on 12th August.

I signed up myself two weeks ago and the magazines have started arriving, although no Avios so far (and no £12 taken from my account!).
