Get 2,000 Avios with a new British Airways American Express Premium Plus offer
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
A new mini-promotion was launched yesterday for British Airways American Express cardholders.
It seems to be open to both free and Premium Plus cardholders although registrations will be capped at 40,000 people.
It’s actually quite generous …..

If you have the Premium Plus card, you will receive 2,000 bonus Avios from American Express when you spend £200 before 2nd September with British Airways.
The spend can be cumulative.

Whilst the small print is not clear, I would expect BA Holidays spend to count too as it goes through statements as ba.com.
2,000 bonus Avios – worth around £20 – is a decent dent in £200 of spending.
Holders of the free British Airways American Express card get a weaker offer. These people will receive 1,000 bonus Avios for spending £200 at ba.com.
You must register for the offer before making any transactions, via the BA Amex statement page on the American Express website or in the app.
Remember that the deal is restricted to 40,000 people, so I’d recommend saving it now even if you have no intention of using it for a few weeks.
