British Airways Buy Avios With 50% Bonus Through July 10, 2022

British Airways has launched a sale that allows Executive Club members to buy Avios with a 50% bonus through July 10, 2022.

BAMF

Executive Club has capped the number of Avios that one can purchase any calendar year before any bonuses at 100,000, and the limit is raised during this sale to 200,000 (max 300K with the bonus).

You can access this offer on BA’s website here.

BA sells its Avios at different prices in the UK, Europe, and the US (depending on the account address), and it seems that Europe is usually the cheapest option. Compare the prices, and you’ll see a significant difference.

The lowest price of an Avios purchased under this offer is 1.2 euro cents. However, the price for USD purchases is much higher.

The maximum bonus during these sales has been 50%, and the Avios price depends on where your account is based. British Airways has previously offered up to 75% bonus, but only to affiliate credit cardholders.

Buying Avios can make sense if you can use them for Reward Flight Savers with limited taxes/fees (a popular option for travel between London and European cities), or you have a 2-4-1 redemption voucher and happen to be a Gold Guest List member (much better availability) + combining all this with an upgrade voucher.

Some partners have very low or no fuel surcharges at all. So using Avios for those or short/medium-haul business class flights can be a good deal.

Conclusion

Considering BA charges very high fuel surcharges on their awards, it rarely makes sense to redeem for long-haul economy flights on their metal (with some exceptions, as is always the case). As a result, the non-stop partner awards in premium cabins are often the best deal using Avios.

BA’s award availability can sometimes be challenging but tends to be acceptable if you have some flexibility.

These are the terms & conditions for this promotion:

Promotional terms and conditions: 50% bonus Avios

1. This offer is only open to Members of the British Airways Executive Club (Eligible Participants).

2. The offer is available from 00:01 (BST) Thursday 23 June 2022 to 23:59 (BST) Sunday 10 July 2022 only (the ‘Offer Period’).

5. Avios can only be purchased or gifted at Purchase and Gift Avios Application.

In the event of such a breach, British Airways reserves the right at any time in its sole and absolute discretion to terminate the Membership of any Member. British Airways shall write to such Member to inform them that their Membership is being terminated for this reason.

17. In the case of Fraud or Misconduct, both as defined in the British Airways Executive Club Terms and Conditions, British Airways reserves the right at any time in its sole and absolute discretion to terminate the Membership of any Member and may cancel all accrued and accruing Avios of the Member and any Reward booking.
