First, think about whether you really need to buy Avios at all. If you are using a British Airways American Express2-4-1 voucher or a Lloyds Avios upgrade voucher then you have to use ‘all Avios’ to book. You don’t have any options. For any other Avios booking, however, you have the option of using ‘Avios and Money’.
I explained how ‘Avios and Money’ works in this article earlier in the series. It is often a lot cheaper to use ‘Avios and Money’ to reduce the number of points you need rather than buying additional Avios. For example, for a World Traveller Plus return flight to New York, you can use: 1. 52,000 Avios plus £377 taxes and charges (the headline list ...
The official link to buying Avios is here. The standard price is a shocking £31 for 1,000 (there is a flat £15 handling fee which bumps up small purchases) through to £3,215 for the maximum 200,000. At standard rates, the price is 3.1p when buying 1,000, 2p when buying 5,000 and 1.6p when buying 35,000. Note that the purchase is handled by an exter...
For the last three years or so, Iberia Plus has been selling Avios via Groupon in Spain! If you click here you will see the latest version of the offer. If the offers shows as closed then it is not currently running, but history shows it will be back soon. It is not running at the moment. Here are typical prices which are substantially cheaper than...
Here is the Iberia page for buying Avios. If you have an active Iberia Plus account (ie the account is over 90 days old and you have earned 1 Avios in it directly, perhaps by crediting a British Airways flight or Amex Membership Rewards point) then you can transfer them to BA using ‘Combine My Avios‘. This is free. Iberia has an odd purchase struct...
This is a neat little trick for anyone with an American Express Platinum, Gold or Greencard. Whilst this is not described anywhere on the Amex website, you can buy up to 10,000 Membership Rewards points per year for 1.5p each. These can be transferred across to Avios at 1:1 so you effectively buy Avios for 1.5p each. For relatively modest quantitie...
Many hotel schemes let you buy points and also convert points to Avios. However, at full price, neither World of Hyatt, Hilton Honors, Marriott Bonvoy, Radisson Rewards or IHG Rewards Club points are cheap enough to be worth considering. Links to the ‘buy points’ pages of most airline and hotel schemes are here. Occasionally, however, you get a bon...
For small quantities, buying American Express Membership Rewards points could be the way to go if you have the right payment card. However, unless you need the points urgently, I would hold out for the next Groupon Spain offer or for a general ‘buy Avios‘ bonus from British Airways.
As a reminder, there are various ways of earning Avios points from UK credit cards. Many cards also have generous sign-up bonuses! In February 2022,Barclaycard launched two exciting new Barclaycard Avios Mastercard cards with a bonus of up to 25,000 Avios. You can apply here. You qualify for the bonus on these cards even if you have a British Airwa...
With British Airways’ Reward Flight Saver, you could be sunning yourself in Porto or lounging on a Venetian gondola for just 23,500 Avios (plus £1) 3 for an off-peak return in Euro Traveller.*. Destinations closer to home, such as Paris and Edinburgh, are an even bigger bargain, clocking in at fewer than 20,000 Avios (18,500 Avios plus £1 ...
