Get 12 copies of The Economist for £29 – and earn 1,200 Avios

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 now launched a smaller scale offer.

It isn’t a great deal if you only want the Avios, but it is a decent deal if you want 3-months of reading material as well.

Here’s what you do

The home page for the offer is here.

You can choose from digital only or print and digital.  The Economist no longer offers ‘print only’ subscriptions.

The deals are:

• 12 weeks of ‘digital only’ for £25 with 900 Avios
• 12 weeks of ‘print and digital’ for £29 with 1,200 Avios

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.

If you don’t cancel your subscription in time, it will renew at £55 or £65 per quarter depending on your package.

You must be a new subscriber to receive the Avios.

The offer closes on 14th March.
