British Airways has partnered with Uber so that Avios
can be earned whenever Executive Club members take a journey by car, coach or train
which has been booked via the Uber app.
Members simply have to link their British Airways Executive Club
and Uber accounts to earn one Avios for
for every £1 spent on any ride, whether that be by car, coach or
train, as long as it is booked on the Uber app in the UK.
To
celebrate the partnership, members who link their Executive
Club and Uber accounts via the Uber app will receive 250 bonus
Avios.
Andrew Brem, General Manager at Uber UK, said,
“We’re thrilled to be able to help Uber users collect Avios on
every single journey they take. So everyday trips, such as going
to work or to the shops is helping you to get somewhere a little
more exotic with British Airways.”
Avios is a global loyalty currency used by airlines
including British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Vueling and Qatar
Airways.
Avios can be used as part-payment towards Reward
Flights, with British Airways guaranteeing a minimum of 14 Reward
Seats on every long-haul flight, and 12 on every short-haul
flight, to and from London Heathrow and London Gatwick.
Members
can fly from as little as £1 and 18,500 Avios, which is enough for
an off-peak economy return flight to more than 40 destinations in
Europe.
Ian Romanis, Head of
Retail and Customer Relationship Management at British Airways,
said, “Avios helps to open up the world, wherever our customers
wish to travel. From beach holidays in the Indian Ocean, to city
breaks in Europe and beyond, it’s such a valuable currency that is
so easy to collect – our Members can do this easily as part of
their everyday lives. We’re thrilled to welcome Uber on board in
helping to bring our customers travel plans to life.”
All
British Airways Executive Club Members will be able to collect
Avios through the Uber App by the end of November 2022.
