Last year there was a generous subscription offer for The Times which gave Avios points. This year, Avios has teamed up with The Telegraph to run a deal for new subscribers.
There are four packages on offer:
5,000 Avios points with a £90 annual digital subscription to ‘Premium’ – this is not the full newspaper but an additional selection of articles
20,000 Avios points with a £312 annual digital subscription – this gets you access to the full digital edition of The Telegraph plus the additional ‘Premium’ content
20,000 Avios points with a £520 annual ‘Premium : Print’ subscription – this gets you 7-day delivery of The Telegraph to your door plus online access to the ‘Premium’ online site with additional content
20,000 Avios points with a £572 annual ‘Premium : Complete’ subscription – this gets you 7-day delivery of The Telegraph to your door plus online access to the ‘Premium’ online site with additional content plus the full digital edition of The Telegraph
It seems excessively complicated to me, but there you are. It also isn’t as generous as the offer with The Times last year (20,000 Avios for a £260 subscription) or the Irish Independent Avios offer which recently ran with AerClub.
However, if you had been considering a Telegraph subscription then this may be the nudge you need. Existing subscribers are not eligible but I don’t see why one person could not let an existing subscription lapse and another person at the same house take out a new subscription.
The small print suggests that you can also earn 10,000 Avios with a 6-month ‘Premium : Print’ or ‘Premium : Complete’ subscription but the website does not give that as an option as far as I could tell.
You do not give your avios.com or British Airways Executive Club number on the application form. Instead, you will be posted a voucher which can be redeemed via the Avios website. No closing date is given but the vouchers must be redeemed by 31st May 2018.
