Get 8,000 Avios with an excellent The Wine Flyer deal

The Wine Flyer, the Avios-run wine retailer, has brought back the bonus offer it ran last week but which we only posted about in the last few hours before it expired! If you read HfP by email then you never saw it.

Not only is it back, but it is improved.

You can earn 8,000 Avios with a £125 spend on anything you like. Postage is free and, unlike the deal last week, you don’t need to spend the £125 on a case. You can pick anything you like.

The American Express part of this deal ends on Friday 15th December (EDIT: Now over!)

To make the most of this deal you need access to two deals:

• 4,000 bonus Avios for spending £125 at The Wine Flyer using code FESTIVE – the expiry date is 17th December, or whenever 5,000 codes have been redeemed if sooner

• 4,000 bonus Avios for spending £125+ on your British Airways American Express Card – you MUST opt-in to this offer, it is not automatic – the expiry date for this is 15th December

You need to opt in to the American Express bonus via the ‘Offers’ page of the Amex app or website BEFORE making your purchase. You are looking for this:

How do you get the offer?

It’s easy enough. Head to The Wine Flyer website, put £125 of items in your cart (UK delivery is free) and add code ‘FESTIVE’. The extra 4,000 Avios will show immediately.

Remember to pay with the British Airways American Express card you registered for the 2nd 4,000 Avios offer. Because you are spending over £125 this bonus will trigger, with the 4,000 Avios being added to your next American Express statement.

In total, you are paying £125 for whatever wine, champagne or spirits you choose, delivered to your door, plus 8,000 Avios. 4,000 Avios will arrive immediately and the additional 4,000 Avios will come with your next American Express statement. You can’t argue with that.

If you want to combine both offers, I suggest you order today. The American Express offer ends on 15th December.
