Don’t do a big FX transfer this weekend ….

If you are planning any sort of foreign exchange transfer this weekend, I suggest that you wait until Monday.

We will be launching an exclusive HfP offer in association with long-established Avios partner Midpoint. It will be your last opportunity to earn Avios with Midpoint as the partnership is ending this month.

All transfers carried out by Midpoint before the end of 2021 will get an Avios bonus of up to 100% on the standard rate. Midpoint is also cutting its fee.

Six HfP readers who make their first Midpoint transfer will also win prizes of up to 25,000 Avios.

The bonus Avios and lower fee will be available to both new and existing Midpoint users, but the competition is restricted to new customers. Your chances of winning are very good.

Full details will be on HfP on Monday.

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. These points convert at 1:1 into Avios.

Run your own business?
