Earn Avios with IN-STORE and online purchases at Harvey Nichols this month

Many British Airways American Express cardholders were invited to receive a status match to the ‘Rewards by Harvey Nichols’ (of all things) reward scheme last year.

BA Blue got HN Silver, BA Bronze got HN Gold, BA Silver got HN Platinum and BA Gold got HN Black.

Since the last week of February, Harvey Nichols has also been offering Avios points when you spend with them, either in-store or online.  For some reason I hadn’t heard a peep about this offer until yesterday.  You can retroclaim your points for any recent purchases however.

This is how the deal works:

You receive 5 Avios for every £1 spent at Harvey Nichols (both online and in one of their UK stores) between 24th February 2016 and 30th April 2016

You will also be entitled to 2,000 bonus Avios when you spend £1,000 or more during this period. This is a one off bonus.

You can ONLY claim Avios if you used your ‘Rewards by Harvey Nichols’ app during the original purchases.

To claim your Avios, you need to visit a UK Harvey Nichols Store (Dublin excluded) and go to the Store Concierge (Knightsbridge only) or Style Concierge (all Stores). Alternatively you may call their Customer Services team on +44 (0)20 7201 8088.

The following information will need to be provided:

All receipts for transactions that took place during the term of promotion;

The Rewards by Harvey Nichols App and its associated email address;

BA Executive Club member details, including membership type, membership number and the members surname.

Avios will be credited within 30 days.

As an aside, tomorrow (7th April) is the re-opening date for the menswear department at the Knightsbridge store.  If you have any spending planned, you might want to check it out and see if you can pick up some Avios at the same time.

Full details can be found on the Harvey Nichols website here.
