Just a quick heads-up that Amex is currently offering BA (free and BAPP) cardholders 3,000 bonus Avios for spending £300+ online with British Airways by 16th February 2020.
Note that the terms state the transaction must be in Great British Pounds and that the offer can only be redeemed once per card.
Remember that you have to login to your Amex account and save the offer to your card in order to take advantage.
Conclusion
This is a nice little bonus if you were going to be spending money with BA anyway, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to ‘chase’ it.
Have you got a similar offer on one of your Amex cards?

This clearly a selective offer as it’s not on my BA PP card
Keep an eye out for it – quite often it takes a little while for Amex to load the offers to all accounts (although it could be selective, the BA ones on the BA cards tend not to be – or are at least, VERY widely ‘targeted’.).
Still nothing showing on mine either.
Would buying over £300 of Avios points work or does it have to be a flight?
Unfortunately, buying Avios won’t work – the payment gets processed differently so won’t trigger the bonus.
Thank you Joe. So what can be bought please?
Anything directly sold through the BA website basically – flights, taxes/fees on avios awards, upgrades, seat assignments, etc, should all be fine. 🙂
