If you’re into online shopping, you should definitely be earning points or miles in the process! Like to shop and fly British Airways? You’re in luck — there’s a shopping portal just for you; a place where you can earn extra Avios with hardly any extra work! Sounds like a no-brainer, right?
This article will tell you everything you need to know about using the British Airways Avios eStore to earn extra Avios.
The first thing to note: if you are shopping from the U.S., on the landing page, you may need to select USA as your location (if it is not automatically selected for you) at the bottom of the homepage. This will allow you to view retailers that are more readily available to U.S. customers.
Once your language has been selected, click Login.
To receive Avios for your shopping purchases, you must log in to the British Avios eStore. Otherwise, no bonus will be awarded.
If you are already a British Airways Executive Club member, you do not need to create any separate login information — you simply use the account you already have. If you are not an existing British Airways Executive Club member, you will need to create an account. It’s a quick form and free to sign up.
Once you are logged in, you can browse retailers and special offers. Clicking on a retailer will show the offer, a brief overview of the company, and the purchase conditions.
If you want to shop with a specific retailer and receive your bonus Avios, click the red Shop Now button that will direct you through to the retailer’s site. Then, simply complete your purchase through the site. British Airways automatically tracks your purchase through cookies, so be sure they are enabled on your browser.
Any Avios collected through your purchases will be added to your account within 35 days.
If you purchase your items without going through the eStore, there is no way to retroactively apply your bonus Avios.
Occasionally, it’s possible to earn even more bonus Avios by way of special shopping offers. Generally, these offers will involve a retailer issuing an increased number of Avios per dollar. These special offers tend to run for a limited time only, with the deadline listed when you click the retailer.
For example, at the time of writing, Macy’s was highlighting a special offer to earn 2 Avios per $1 (rather than their normal offer of 1 Avios per $1).
