British Airways just sent me a promotion offering 30% Avios points with an Avios points purchase. The promotion runs from June 12 through August 2 and will award up to 30% bonus on purchased points. The promotion may be targeted so log into British Airways to check and see if you qualify for the promotion.
How To Purchase
- Navigate to the purchase miles section on British Airways website
- Check to see that you qualify for the 30% bonus offer
The more Avios you purchase between 12 June and 2 August 2012, the bigger the bonus we’ll give you – up to 30%.

Sample Purchase
The Avios points cost varies depending on how much you purchase in this promotion. For this example let us assume you wanted to travel from Miami to Turks & Caicos in First class round trip. You’d need 27,000 Avios points total per person.
With this promotion, you would need to purchase 24,000 Avios points which would net you a total of 31,200 Avios points. The cost per person would be $685 + taxes and fees for a cpm of $0.0219.

Hi
I’m a bit confused, can you confirm my calculation:
You said “With this promotion, you would need to purchase 24,000 Avios points which would net you a total of 31,200 Avios points. The cost per person would be $685 + taxes and fees for a cpm of $0.219”. I look at this and think, 21 cents per mile is expensive! But then I use Excel to divide $685.00 by 31,200 and get $0.0224 which really is 2¢ per mile.
I guess my point here is to advocate for some kind of consistency when reporting cost per mile or point. It should be either $0.0219 or 2.19 cents but not $0.219.
Thanks
Don’t forget to add in the credit card points you get for the purchase. Use the BA Visa and that’s an additional 1,712 miles. It affects the true cost-per-mile.
