There are many ways to collect Avios, even when you’re not flying. Claire Hawkins, Executive Club partnerships manager at British Airways, highlights a few things you may not know about BA’s Avios partners, so you can get the most from the Executive Club
When it comes to planning your next trip, BA’s partners have it covered. Whether you are looking to hire a car with Avis, book a hotel stay with one of BA’s partner hotels, or get to and from Heathrow airport by rail or private transfer, BA’s partners can make your travel easier and keep your Avios balance topped up. You can even collect Avios on board with High Life Shop, or when you shop online and pre-order for delivery to your seat on board. For a full list of BA’s Avios collection partners, click here.
Executive Club accounts become inactive if you don’t collect or redeem Avios within a three-year period. If you don’t have a flight planned, but want to protect your hard-earned benefits, you can collect additional Avios with a BA partner, purchase Avios outright or transfer points from an applicable credit card loyalty programme to Avios. You only have to collect one Avios to keep your account active for another 36 months. See the ways you can collect Avios here.
