This offer has been running for a few weeks but slipped through the cracks. You still have until 31st July to take advantage.

Most British Airways American Express cards have an offer for 10 Avios per £1 on spending with Heathrow Express.

You can, of course, already earn 5 Avios per £1 when you book Heathrow Express tickets via the special Avios microsite here. This only applies to fully flexible tickets, however.

Get 10 Avios per £1 with Heathrow Express tickets

The American Express offer applies to ALL Heathrow Express ticket types, even the £10 advance tickets.

The only small print is that you must book via the Heathrow Express website or app. Purchases made at ticket machines in the stations or via other rail operators will not count.

Tickets booked for travel after 31st July will count, as long as the payment is made by that date.

We published this article on the best ways of saving money on Heathrow Express tickets.

The Heathrow Express ticket booking website is here.
