Getting free Avios is never a bad thing – even if it is only 250 on this occasion!

Check your Amex offers to see if you can get 250 bonus Avios for spending £5+ on ANYTHING using your BA or BA Premium Plus American Express.

“Save to Card to get 250 BA Avios points when you spend £5 in any UK store online and instore at any business that accepts Amex as a payment method by 18/11/2019. Valid once per Card to the first 40,000 Cardmembers to save“

Conclusion

If you were feeling particularly grouchy (it is Monday morning…), I suppose you could argue that as you need to spend £5 on your card, the bonus Avios aren’t really free.

Given that the offer is due to last until 18th November though and it doesn’t matter what you buy, I can’t think anyone who wouldn’t need to spend a fiver on something between now and then. If you were going to spend the money regardless, I think it’s reasonable to say the bonus Avios are effectively free.
