Avios/British Airways

From 15 June, Uber are changing how many Avios you can collect on rides and takeaways in the UK and Ireland. Book ahead and you'll earn more. Grab a standard UberX across town and you'll earn nothing. What's changing to Avios earning on Uber Here's what earns from 15 June in the UK: Trip type Avios per £1 Uber Reserve (booked ahead) 3 Airport trips (including UberX) 2 Premium rides - XL, Exec, Lux, Comfort, Exec XXL, Black Cab 2 Train and Eurostar via Uber (journey must touch

JP Morgan has an offer handing new customers 10,000 Avios for putting £500 into an investment account. That's double the 5,000 they usually offer for the same thing. The one thing to know up front: your £500 goes into an investment account, not a savings account. So it's worth reading the line below before you start. As with all investing, your capital is at risk. The value of your investment can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Tax treatment d

American Express has unveiled a series of boosted referral bonuses across ten cards, giving existing Cardmembers and their friends the chance to earn enhanced amounts Membership Rewards points, Avios, and cashback, but only until 21 July 2026. If you've held an Amex within the past two years, this may render you ineligible for a welcome bonus on a new Amex card. You can use our Amex eligibility tool to check whether you are able to earn one of these sign up bonuses. Just a qu

Today is the day that British Airways updates the taxes and fees for its Avios Reward Flights. We had a sneak peek from BA last week with some limited information on four specific routes, with the rest left for today Now we've got the full picture. The amount of Avios you'll need hasn't changed, as this changed back in December last year, just the cash element has changed this time around. Look up your route Here is a route lookup tool covering every BA destination from Lond

If you collect Avios through the British Airways Club, chances are you’ve wondered how to make them go further, especially if you don’t always travel alone. That’s exactly where British Airways Household Accounts come into play. Designed to make group travel easier to handle, they allow you to combine Avios across multiple people, unlocking redemptions faster and with far less friction. Sam and I utilise this to great effect. In this guide, we’ll walk through everything you n

British Airways is putting up the cash needed for Avios reward flights from 27 May 2026. The Avios required stay the same, as those already went up in December, but the cash element needed to pay the taxes and fees goes up. I literally wrote yesterday that I didn't believe BA had another foot to shoot. They had in fact kept one spare. Bookings made before 27 May hold the current price. From 27 May, you pay the new rate. So if you've got a trip in mind, you've got five days. I

From today, you can now use your BA Amex Companion Voucher on British Airways Holidays packages and get 25% of your Avios back. This doesn't change how a Companion Voucher normally works on a Reward Flight booking, it's an additional way to use it, and a temporary one, running only until 31 March 2027. So is this a feature, or an offer? Who knows. Anyway, let me run you through it. How it works You book a British Airways Holidays package on the BA Holidays website. That's a F

Congratulations. You've earned two Companion Vouchers from your BA Amex, or you're thinking about pushing for a second, and let's say that you want to book three seats for you, your partner, and a child (other groups of three are available). The logical solution seems obvious: use one voucher for two people (you + partner), use the second voucher for solo travel at 50% off (the child). Three seats, two vouchers, sorted. Except British Airways explicitly prohibits this. You ca

Qatar Airways and Finnair have both launched buy Avios sales, each with a top bonus of 50%, with Qatar's running until 25 May, and Finnair's running until 1 June, but the 50% rate only lasts until 22 May. So its a 50% bonus in both cases, but the price per Avios isn't the same. Here's how each offer works. Qatar Airways buy Avios offer Promotion period: 18 May to 25 May 2026 (23:59 Doha time) Where to buy: qatarairways.com Eligibility: Privilege Club members with at least 1 A

How many Avios do you actually need for a flight? It depends. British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Finnair, Qatar Airways and Loganair all use the Avios, but they charge wildly different amounts for the same route. Comparing them properly has, until now, meant clicking through different award charts and hoping you've worked it out correctly. So we built a tool that does it for you. The Avios Calculator: All Six Airlines, One Search compares how many Avios you need, across eve
