The Offers: How to Earn Bonus Avios on Your Next British Airways Holiday

If you hold the British Airways American Express Blue Card, you can earn 2,500 bonus Avios when you spend £2,500 or more on a qualifying Flight + Hotel, or Flight + Car holiday booked directly through britishairways.com/holidays.

Meanwhile, British Airways Premium Plus Card members can enjoy an even better deal. By spending £4,000 or more on a qualifying Flight + Hotel, or Flight + Car package, Premium Plus holders will receive 5,000 bonus Avios, also limited to one per UK Card.

For both cards, to qualify your trip must originate in the UK, and the full payment must be made in GBP using the same card to which the offer has been saved. This bonus can be earned once per UK Card.

Once your eligible spend has been billed, your bonus Avios will appear in your American Express account within 30 days. They will then automatically transfer to your British Airways Club account on your next scheduled transfer date.

Key Terms

The offer applies only to British Airways Holidays bookings made directly through the website. Purchases made via the mobile app, by phone, or through payment facilitators (such as curve) are excluded, as are, vouchers purchases, and buy-now-pay-later options.

Your spend must be billed by 2nd December 2025, and only one bonus can be earned per UK Card. Refunds or cancellations will void eligibility.

Remember, you must save the offer to your card. If you don't save it, you won't get the bonus points.

So once logged in to the app, head on over to "Offers", and you will find this particular offer under the Travel section.

Final Thoughts

If you’re planning a British Airways holiday, this is a simple way to earn extra Avios at no additional cost. The Blue Card has no annual fee, making this bonus a straightforward travel reward for everyday cardholders, and the Premium Plus Card offers a larger Avios bonus for frequent flyers and higher spenders. Just remember - availability is limited to 100,000 cardmembers, so save the offer early and ensure your booking meets the terms.
