We recently flagged a novel new way to earn Avios at certain UK “offline” retailers via the new Bink app. It seems that Avios has now added to your offline-earning options. Simply register your payment card(s) here, and you’ll earn up to 10 Avios per £1 spent at various UK high street retailers.
Not that to be able to access this offer and register your payment cards, you will need to be a member of Avios.com (it’s free to join, here).
What’s available?
At the time of writing, by far the most generous offer is with Caffe Nero, where you’ll get 10 Avios per £1 spent. However, the additional (current) offers are:
- American Golf (5 Avios/£1)
- Barrhead Travel (2 Avios/£1)
- Blue Inc (5 Avios/£1)
- Ernest Jones (3 Avios/£1)
- H Samuel (3 Avios/£1)
- Habitat (5 Avios/£1)
- Heal’s (2 Avios/£1)
- Officer’s Club (5 Avios/£1)
So hardly the greatest range, or most glamorous of retailers, but it’s reasonable to assume that further retailers will be added to this. As a result, I strongly recommend this is one that you remember to register all your payment cards for, and then by all means forget about. Expect to then be occasionally surprised when a handful of Avios land in your Avios.com account!
It would be interesting to understand what happens when the same card is registered with Avios, Bink, Quidco and TCB. Will one receive reward for the in-store transaction from all of them or maybe from none.
That sounds like an excellent idea for an experiment! – Everything is a bit hectic with Christmas etc at the moment, but leave it with us and hopefully we’ll have something interesting to report back in the New Year.
