Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Breaking news – a new UK Mastercard offering 1 Avios per £1 spent

Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

I will write a full post on this later, which will go up tomorrow. However, for now, here is a quick taster.

HSBC has relaunched its HSBC Premier credit card this morning.

HSBC Premier World Elite credit card

From today, for every £1 spent on your HSBC Premier Mastercard, you will receive:

1 Avios, or

1 Etihad Guest mile, or

1 Asia Mile, or

1 Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer mile

Now, there are strict requirements for HSBC Premier which will exclude a lot of people. I will cover this tomorrow, though.

For now, you can check out the details here.

    Raffles….You need a VPN and the site will then think you ar in the UK and allow all access. The same thing happens with BBC I player and the national lottery both of which can be got around with VPN………I would add that for the lottery use it only to check numbers and never ever buy a ticket whilst not physically in the UK – they always check if you win big and will withhold prizes…..

      I’ve used EarthVPN for that before – also handy for accessing US streaming services like Hulu 😉
