The Wine Flyer is live – and save 10% on your first order

A quick update that The Wine Flyer, the new British Airways Avios-earning wine shop, is now live. The website is here.

We covered The Wine Flyer in this article last week. In summary, you will earn:

• 5 Avios per £1 spent for one-off purchases
• 10 Avios per £1 spent on subscriptions

A special introductory offer will be available until 31st December 2022, significantly boosting the Avios earning rates. In total, you’ll earn:

• 10 Avios per £1 on one-off purchases
• 15 Avios per £1 on subscriptions

Pricing isn’t bad compared to the supermarkets, at least when they are not running multi-buy offers, but there is a £7.99 delivery charge if you spend under £125.

IAG Loyalty has given some of its staff 10% discount codes to share, although they are limited to 100 orders each. ALEX10, JACK10 and KINNARI10 work as of the time of writing, and if these stop working I would just try some common first names ….
