Forums Payment cards American Express Unexpected 10k Avios Bonus in BAPP?

  • 20 posts

    Has anyone else had an unexpected 10k Avios bonus on their BAPP?

    In June I triggered a 10k retention bonus following £3k spend in three months (which also came with an instant 3k Avios bonus) but that was expected and arranged.

    However I have just checked my card and it’s showing another 10k Avios bonus dated in the last couple of days? No idea what that’s for?!

    My card anniversary year has just ticked over and I made a £6k+ single spend the same day, if that’s related?

    Is the 10k on top of the 9k+ you’d get for the £6K spend?

    Yep, two separate entries in the ‘your earnings’ list. ~9k Avios for the spend and a random 10k Avios ‘bonus’

    Reading the BAPP retention offer thread it feels like we’ve given the retention bonus others have been offered without asking?!
