Get triple Avios at BA Holidays when you pay with a British Airways Premium Plus Amex card

BA Holidays has launched a special deal for holders of the British Airways Premium Plus American Express credit card.

If you book by 7th March, you will receive triple Avios from BA Holidays – that’s 3 Avios per £1 spent.

Full details are on the BA Holidays website here.

This is ON TOP of the 3 Avios per £1 that you would for paying with your British Airways Premium Plus American Express card.

This means, in total, you’re getting 6 Avios per £1 spent at BA Holidays.

For clarity ….. whilst you need to pay with a BAPP card to receive the bonus Avios, the bonus Avios do NOT come via your American Express statement. They will come from BA Holidays after your trip, with the usual 1 Avios per £1 spent tripled to 3 Avios per £1 spent.

The last day to travel is 10th January 2025, although you need to book by 7th March.

Don’t forget the Avios for your flight too!

You will also receive the usual Avios from your holidays flights, assuming they are on British Airways or one of its partners.

It’s a triple dip:

• 3 Avios per £1 from Amex for paying on a British Airways Premium Plus American Express card

• 3 Avios per £1 from BA Holidays (triple offer) as long as you pay with a British Airways Premium Plus American Express card

• Avios from your holiday flight

STILL RUNNING: You will also receive DOUBLE British Airways Executive Club tier points too

Don’t forget that British Airways Holidays has extended its double tier points offer by another year, out to 31st December 2024. This remains one of the most attractive promotions currently running from any travel company.

As a quick recap, if you book a ‘flight and hotel’ or ‘flight and car’ package for at least five nights, and travel by 31st December 2024, you will receive double BA tier points on your flights. Existing bookings count.

You could get very close to a Silver card from scratch in one trip. For example, booking London to New York in Club World, you would get (140 + 140) x 2 = 560 tier points.

There are two things to note about the double tier points offer:

• you must book flights which carry a British Airways flight number – codeshare flights with, say, Qatar Airways are acceptable but only if your booking shows a BAXXXX flight number
• whilst your booking must contain at least five nights of hotel or car rental, your overall stay can be longer

Full details of the ‘double tier points’ offer can be found on the British Airways Holidays website here.
