British Airways has announced a new partnership with Uber this morning.
It isn’t live yet, but will be rolling out via an app update later this month.
BA is promising 250 Avios just for registering, so this offer should be of interest even if you are only an occasional Uber user.

The new Uber deal will let you collect 1 Avios for every £1 you spend on travel via the Uber app.
As well as rides, you will also earn on coach and train tickets booked via the app in the UK.
As a launch bonus, everyone who links their British Airways Executive Club and Uber accounts via the Uber app by 31st December will receive 250 bonus Avios.
To register, you will need to enter your Executive Club details into the ‘Settings’ section of the Uber app. This is not yet available, at least not for me – we’ll let you know when the app update rolls out. It is promised by the end of November.
Andrew Brem, General Manager at Uber UK said:
“We’re thrilled to be able to help Uber users collect Avios on every single journey they take. So everyday trips, such as going to work or to the shops is helping you to get somewhere a little more exotic with British Airways”.
Long-term UK Avios collectors may remember a similar deal with MyTaxi a few years ago, and indeed Uber had a deal with Starwood Hotels before the Marriott takeover. If you are visiting Spain soon, there has been an Avios deal with Cabify for many years – it may still be offering 400 Avios for your first ride.
