Get 10% off Qatar Airways flights from the UK – TODAY ONLY

Qatar Airways is offering a 10% discount deal on flights from the UK which are book TODAY (Thursday).

You need to use this page of the Qatar Airways website.  Only the base fare is discounted, so the saving will be a little lower than 10% on Business Class tickets and a lot lower on Economy Class tickets where taxes are a higher percentage of the total.

In typical Qatar Airways fashion it is difficult to know exactly what is going on.  The T&Cs say you need to fly by 30th June although elsewhere it says 10th December.  It also says that only ‘selected destination’ are included, but does not list those destinations – I tried Bangkok but that seems to be excluded.  However, if you are planning to book a Qatar Airways flight in the near future then today is a good day to do it.

Your best option to maximise your miles when paying is American Express Preferred Rewards Gold.  This offers double points – 2 per £1 – when you when you book flight tickets directly with an airline.  Our review of Amex Gold is here.

How to earn Avios from UK credit cards (September 2023)

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 with a bonus of up to 25,000 Avios. You can apply here.

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.

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 10,500 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.

EDIT: Applications for this card are temporarily suspended due to IT issues with the British Airways On Business SME loyalty scheme.

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.
