For Barclays Premier Banking customers, it’s just got easier than ever to collect Avios

Get away sooner with Barclays and British Airways. This exciting new partnership brings the launch of Barclays Avios Rewards, the new way to collect Avios for Barclays Premier Banking¹ and Wealth customers.

For the first time ever, Executive Club Members can collect Avios for future trips through their everyday banking with Barclays, for just £12 a month  ­– making it the most effortless way to get closer to the travel that matters to you. Eligibility and conditions apply².

Switch and collect
If you join Barclays Avios Rewards within four months of opening your first Barclays current account and complete a full switch via the Current Account Switch Service you’ll be looking at a joining bonus of 25,000 Avios³.  That’s enough Avios for a British Airways return flight to Lisbon⁴. You’ll need to complete your account switch within three months of joining Barclays Avios Rewards.

Or, if you’ve been an existing Barclays customer for four months or more, a joining bonus of 2,500 Avios will get you closer to that future getaway.

Keep on collecting
Once you’ve signed up to Barclays Avios Rewards, you can expect to see 1,500 Avios land in your British Airways Executive Club account each month regardless of how much you spend, earning you a tidy 18,000 Avios each year, or enough for a peak British Airways Euro Traveller return flight to Munich or Nice.⁴

On top of that, you’ll have the opportunity to earn a British Airways cabin upgrade voucher⁵ each year for use on an Avios Reward flight. Last but not least, customers can view their Avios balance through the Barclays app⁶ and keep tabs on all of the Avios they’ve earned since joining – perfect for anyone planning their next trip abroad.

So what’s new?
Calling all Avios enthusiasts: Barclays Premier Banking is the first and only UK current account that collects Avios for you, whether you’re a new or existing customer. That just means, for wanderlusters, Barclays Avios Rewards offers a one-stop shop for effortless Avios-earning that’ll help you see the world and get closer to the places – and the people – you love.
