Cyclically, airlines decide to sell their loyalty program points by giving away extra points in addition to those purchased. This is the only time when it makes sense to buy points, particularly if a rich bonus is present. The amount of the bonus varies depending on the offer and the company. In the case of British Airways, in recent years, we have never seen bonuses higher than 50%, as in this case.
In this article:
In fact, today we are talking precisely about the promotion of British Airways giving away 50% of bonus points over points bought.
With this offer, it is then possible to buy points at a discount from the normal list price.
How to use points to save on your ticket
The points can be used to book airline tickets with British Airways, Iberia, Qatar and all OneWorld airlines. In particular, the possibility of taking advantage of Avios points to fly with the best airline in the world is one of the keys that makes this offer attractive, combined with the possibility of transfer Membership Rewards points into Avios points for free.
How to buy points
Buying points can be a great way to make up for the lack of points needed to redeem an award ticket, or it can be a strategy to save on the cost of the cash ticket.
For example, buying 100 thousand points costs 1,800, in total - thanks to the bonus - you will get 150 thousand Avios points. Enough to detach a round-trip ticket from Milan to Bangkok with Qatar Airways.
Each route costs 75k Avios, to which must be added approximately 350€ in surcharges and taxes. The same ticket bought cash can cost even more than 4,000 euros, here using points you can practically halve the expense.
But the use of Avios points is also possible for traveling with Iberia and, as we showed recently, to go to Christmas in New York: it takes less than 70 thousand Avios points to detach a round-trip ticket that would otherwise cost more than 2,000 euros.
Do British Airways Avios expire?
British Airways Avios expire after 36 months of inactivity. Any accumulation or redemption of Avios will reset the maturity of your balance.
