Forums Frequent flyer programs The British Airways Club Avios app referral bonus delay?

  • 394 posts

    Recently referred P2 for the Avios app to trigger the 500 Avios referral bonus for both referrer and referred. Received email from Avios/mention me to say the Avios would be on their way in 14 days, over 21 days later still no sign, in either account. Just wondering if anyone else has had any experience of receiving the refer a friend bonus Avios and any time scales involved? Thanks

    Our family has received the last 2 referral bonuses the day after the applications were approved, but it can vary and Amex will tell you to wait either 60 or 90 days before they will look into it.

    P2 presumably will need to complete the spend requirement for whichever card they hold before they receive the sign up bonus (as long as they were eligible for it).

    I assume you mean 5000 avios and not 500?! I’ve never seen an email from Amex mentioning 14 days but this is a good indication that you will receive the points eventually.

    This is for referring people to the Avios app, nothing to do with Amex, and it is 500 Avios. The thread title is “Avios app…”.

    Yes it’s the ‘Avios’ app. Not a large amount of Avios by any means, but every little helps.

    Ah, I read it that the OP had referred their P2 for a card via the Amex app! In that case, I can’t help, sorry!
