I browse online for clothes, home decor, and airfare that I don’t need/can’t afford (everyone does that, right?!), so while doing that today I found some info I want to pass along in case it helps anyone else out. I posted earlier today about the limited time British Airways sale that involves business class round trip tickets to London from several US cities for less than $2000 in honor of… Read the Rest.

Since most of us don’t use our Avios to actually fly British Airways (due to the very high fees), this will probably have limited appeal, but in case you were planning on using your Avios on BA this year anyway, this may save you 25% on tickets in economy or premium economy. That means a round trip ticket from NYC to London would be 30,000 Avios for World Traveller (economy)… Read the Rest.

Update: I confirmed that the 100K BA Avios offer is set to expire from the affiliate channels as well on June 7th, so plan accordingly if you want in on this offer while it lasts. Playing catch-up in the points world. Ready, set, go! In my inbox, today I saw an email from British Airways about the current British Airways Visa Signature Card sign-up offer that awards up to 100,000… Read the Rest.

If you are not yet a British Airways Avios expert, now is a great time to learn a vast amount about this program. Prompted in part by the 50,000 – 100,000 Avios points British Airways Chase sign-up offer (depending on how much spending you can put on the card in the first year), and the American Express 50% transfer bonus to Avios that runs through May 31st, lots of my… Read the Rest.

While on Flyertalk today, I saw an interesting post about a different British Airways 100,000 Avios offer that awards 100,000 Avios without a heft minimum spending requirement. This one seems to only be available if you are booking a flight on British Airways, and doesn’t seem available to everyone, but was available when I tried. This offer isn’t brand new, but is worth mentioning now as an alternative to the… Read the Rest.

I posted a little last week about the limited time Chase British Airways 100,000 Avios sign-up bonus that came out, but now want to dig a bit deeper into the details of that deal to see if it is a good fit for your family. First, it goes without saying that 100,000 Avios is a huge sign-up bonus. It isn’t unheard of as there have been a few offers of… Read the Rest.

I posted earlier today that I literally did a happy dance when I saw that a 50% transfer bonus had been launched from American Express Membership Rewards to British Airways, and I really did. In my office….by myself. There have been lots of posts today in the miles and points blogosphere about the transfer bonus and how to maximize some of the best uses for Avios points, so I will… Read the Rest.

I just did a happy dance when I saw The Points Guy’s post that, starting in a few hours, there will be a 50% transfer bonus from American Express Membership Rewards to the British Airways Avios program that will run until May 31st. Points will transfer at a rate of 1,000 Membership Rewards: 1,500 British Airways Avios. I know that for many people the value of the BA frequent flyer… Read the Rest.

As has already been posted on View From the Wing and One Mile at a Time, US Airways is running a special until 3/31 while you can get a 50% bonus on all hotel points transferred into the Dividend Miles program. It should come as no surprise that this US Airways Grand Slam junkie really loves US Airways miles. Especially for their 60,000 mile round-trip off-peak ticket to Europe in… Read the Rest.
