Win 1 million Avios with Uber – and a reminder of how the partnership works

Avios and Uber are launching a competition on Monday which will see four Uber riders win one million Avios.

As long as your Uber and British Airways Executive Club accounts are linked, you will receive one entry into the competition for each Avios-earning ride you take between 11th March and 7th April.

You will receive two entries if you book a train ticket via the Uber app.

No registration is required to enter. One winner will be drawn each week during the four weeks of the competition.

How does the Avios / Uber deal work?

The Avios / Uber partnership lets you collect 1 Avios for every £1 you spend on travel in the UK via the Uber app.

As well as rides, you will also earn on coach and train tickets booked via the app in the UK. This includes Eurostar bookings.

You do not earn anything for Uber Eats orders.

How do you register?

Open the Uber app and click ‘Account’ in the bottom right, followed by ‘Settings’. You will see this:

Click through and you’ll be taken to a page where you can link your Uber account to your British Airways account.

When you return to Uber, it should now show this:

Got a problem?

Avios-earning is only for UK residents. If your last Uber ride was not in the UK, it may decide that you are not based here and your registration may be blocked.

Experience shows that this problem usually goes away after you take a ride in the UK.

Full details of the ‘Avios millionaire’ competition can be found on the Uber website here.
