British Airways introduced Avios subscription<\/a> last year which offered a new way of buying Avios at a relatively low cost. A new service has just emerged, which might be even sweeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is called Balance Boost, and you can find it on BA’s shopping portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

If you’ve been paying attention to IHG news, Balance Boost is very similar to what they introduced quite recently. Based on the amount of Avios you earned in the last 30 days, you can purchase 1x, 2x or 3x at a discounted price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avios that were bought, transferred from another member account or combined from your IB \/ QR account are excluded. Otherwise virtually all transactions are qualifying, including BA or partner flights, credit cards, hotel point transfers etc.<\/p>\n\n\n

You get the best rate if boosting 3x – at 0.92p it is almost as good as you’ll ever get from BA’s official offers. Even better, all boosts in June and July earn an additional 10% bonus, reducing the cost further to just below 0.84p.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your account address needs to be in the UK to see GBP rates. Otherwise you’ll be charged in USD or EUR at a slightly worse rate. You can buy a maximum of 300,000 Avios per year, after which the rate gets much higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balance Boost is a solid new feature to purchase Avios, and if you can get some Avios flow into your account within the next one month and a half, e.g. through credit card sign-on bonus you may benefit a lot. The Economist offer<\/a> is still ongoing, and you may earn a total of 60K Avios with Balance Boost. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
