I’ve confirmed with my sources that the huge 100,000 bonus Avios points offer from British Airways will expire on June 7th. In the past, we’ve shared how powerful Avios points can be with both short and long haul flights. When you can get a one-way ticket for as little as 4,500 Avios points, it is hard not to jump on an offer that gives enough points for over 22 short haul one-way tickets (100,000 bonus offer / 4,500 per ticket).

When you add the ability to have multiple members linked in your family account, it is even more powerful because you’ll have access to that many more points to book free award tickets.

Here are some highlights of the 100,000 Bonus Avios Points offer with the British Airways credit card.

100,000 Bonus Avios Points

• You will get 50,000 bonus Avios after your first use of the card
• 25,000 bonus Avios after you make $10,000 in purchases within the first year of account opening
• Plus an additional 25,000 bonus Avios after you make an additional $10,000 in purchases also within the first year of account opening

This is a lot of spending for 100,000 Avios points but if you can swing the spend, the 100,000 Avios points can offer big value.

Smart Chip Technology

• Smart chip technology allows you to use your card for chip-based purchases in Europe and beyond
• I haven’t used this technology but it sounds cool

No Foreign Transaction Fees

• You will not be charged a foreign transaction fee when you make purchases abroad
• It is important to have a card in your wallet that doesn’t charge you a ~3% foreign transaction fee
• By avoiding this fee, you can save big bucks on long over seas trips

Companion Travel Together Ticket 

• Every calendar year you make $30,000 in purchases on your British Airways Visa Signature card, you will earn a Travel Together Ticket good for two years when you redeem for a flight on British Airways
• Taxes and fees apply
• This is one of my favorite benefits of the card, however the companion ticket is only good for a flight on British Airways metal
• Although we earned a companion ticket last year, we didn’t use it because we choose to redeem our British Airways miles on an American Airlines first class ticket to Buenos Aires

Points Earning

• Earn 2.5 Avios for every $1 spent on British Airways purchases
• Earn 1.25 Avios for every $1 spent on all other purchases

Bottom Line

The offer has been confirmed to expire on June 7th. We don’t know what the offer will be after June 7th, but the expiration date even shows June 7th on the official Chase credit card offer link. So if you have been on the fence but leaning towards this 100,000 British Airways Avios points offer, you still have a few more weeks to take advantage and get in on the 100,000 bonus point sign up offer.

In my next post, I’ll share my journey up to NY and how I flew for only 7,500 Avios points one-way.

Based on remarks from a American Express agent we were overly excited about the 100k Platinum card $200 statement credit. We couldn’t wait for the card benefits so we applied and were approved for the 100,000 targeted offer for the Amex Platinum Card. Initially an agent informed us that the $200 statement credit would apply… continue reading

This past week we applied and were approved for an amazing 100,000 targeted offer for the Amex Platinum Card. We received the card within days. It seems they put the card on rush delivery and I’m thankful for a few reasons. The card comes with a bunch of cool benefits and we are not sure… continue reading

Thought we would pass along the information about an amazing targeted offer for the American Express Platinum Card. It appears American Express has a targeted offer campaign for 100,000 Membership Rewards points (or 150k Avios Points with 50% transfer bonus) with a new American Express Platinum Card. Since this offer is targeted, it comes with… continue reading

We first acquired the British Airways credit card back in 2009 when they offered a 100,000 mile (expired) bonus offer. Since then, British Airways changed their award program from miles to Avios points forever changing British Airways awards. With the new program comes a new bonus credit card offer and new ways to redeem your points…. continue reading

A few weeks ago, I mentioned how the sky is not falling with the Chase credit card sign up bonuses. We shared how the New Ink Bold offer was staying at 50,000 points even though the Sapphire Preferred offer was being lowered to a 40,000 point offer. The current offer will be removed on Wednesday,… continue reading

Update: $200 offer is down. The old $200 cash back Chase Freedom offer went away at 10 AM this morning. It is reasonable to suspect the new offer will go down to $100 for two reasons. First, Chase has recently lowered other credit card offers like the Chase Sapphire Preferred. Second, their own website shows… continue reading

The United Airlines (UA) and Continental (CO) merger caused a number of issues this year. One issue being that the conversion of the CO card to a UA Explorer card was reported to prevent customers from receiving the UA Explorer card sign up bonus. The dire warnings were abound. We are happy to share that… continue reading

Readers have called on me to release my returns for a while, so I’m releasing them just like Mitt Romney. But I’m not running for anything, except maybe just a mile or two. In an effort to provide transparency and allow readers to follow along as points and miles are earned, I’m releasing my points… continue reading

Mrs Weekly Flyer surprises me every day. This time she surprised me with a way to earn 5% cash back or UR points on purchases. In this post I’ll share the process to transfer Chase Freedom Ultimate Rewards points to a Chase Sapphire or Ink Bold Ultimate Rewards account. If you have a Chase Freedom… continue reading
