NEW: Get 6,000 Avios for £149 of wine by combining two (or three) The Wine Flyer deals

The Wine Flyer, the Avios-run wine retailer, is running a May Day promotion. This is the first offer of 2025 which coincides with a special deal for British Airways American Express cardholders.

It is also the first offer since British Airways Club members started to get a status discount.

If you qualify for both bonuses, you can earn up to 6,000 Avios with a £149 spend. You’d also receive a discount of up to 15% based on your BA status, although you need to keep your spending above £149.

To maximise your bonus you need access to two deals.

This is the offer you will see advertised on The Wine Flyer website:

• 3,000 bonus Avios for buying a pre-mixed 12-bottle case from a selection using code MAYDAY3000

You can see the range of pre-mixed cases here. Only 12-bottle cases qualify for the offer.

The expiry date for this offer is 5th May.

You can stack this offer with a deal which currently appears on British Airways American Express Premium Plus credit cards:

• 3,000 bonus Avios for spending £149+ at The Wine Flyer on your British Airways American Express Premium Plus card – you MUST opt-in to this offer, it is not automatic

Holders of the free British Airways American Express get a different offer:

• 2,000 bonus Avios for spending £80+ at The Wine Flyer on your British Airways American Express card – you MUST opt-in to this offer, it is not automatic

The expiry date for these offers is 30th June.

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

NEW: Discounts for British Airways Club elite members

As part of the new British Airways Club benefits, elite members get an extra discount on all orders with The Wine Flyer:

• 15% for Gold
• 10% for Silver
• 5% for Bronze

The discount is automatically applied if you are logged in at The Wine Flyer.

Remember that, because you need to spend £149 to trigger the American Express bonus, the elite discount increases how much you must spend.

You would need to put in your basket, before the status discount:

• £176 for Gold
• £166 for Silver
• £157 for Bronze

…. to leave you with at least £149 after the discount.

How do you get the offer?

It’s easy enough. Head to The Wine Flyer website, put a 12-bottle mixed case from this page in your cart and add code ‘MAYBONUS3000’.

You will see 3,000 bonus Avios added to your basket.

Remember to pay with the British Airways American Express card you registered for the 2nd part of the deal – the additional 2,000 or 3,000 Avios offer. These Avios will appear on your next British Airways American Express statement.

In the most generous scenario, a Gold member who spends £176 would see their basket reduced to £149 after the status discount. Paying with their registered British Airways American Express Premium Plus card they would also receive 6,000 bonus Avios. 3,000 Avios would arrive immediately from The Wine Flyer – plus the base Avios for the purchase – and the additional 3,000 Avios would come with the next American Express statement. You can’t argue with that.

If you want to combine both offers, I suggest you order ASAP because the MAYBONUS3000 code expires on 5th May.

If you are not interested in any of the 12-bottle cases on offer, you could trigger the American Express part of the offer by spending £80 or £149, depending on card, on a few select bottles by 30th June.

Delivery is free if you spend over £100. However, The Wine Flyer does not deliver to Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, The Isle of Man and BFPO addresses.

Thanks to Adam for this.
