Two new ‘buy Avios’ deals launched – from just 0.84p per point

There are two deals running this week if you want to top up your Avios balance via a purchase.

The first deal offers a bonus of up to 45% when you buy Avios between now and 25th November.  It is staggered:

• 20% bonus when you purchase or gift 1,000 – 15,000 Avios
• 30% bonus when you purchase or gift 20,000 – 35,000 Avios
• 35% bonus when you purchase or gift 40,000 – 90,000 Avios
• 45% bonus when you purchase or gift 100,000 – 200,000 Avios

 At the top end, you are paying 1.13p.  The ‘buy Avios’ page is here.

Groupon Spain is also running a ‘buy Avios’ deal this week with Iberia Plus. 

This is a better deal as it lets you pay 1.11p for smaller quantities.  For a very small purchase you pay just 0.84p.  Click here for details.

The cheapest – and best value – package is for 2,000 Avios.  You are only paying €19 for 2,000 points, which is 0.84p each.

Here are the other prices:

• 4,000 Iberia Plus Avios for €54 (1.2p)
• 8,000 Iberia Plus Avios for €99 (1.1p)
• 15,000 Iberia Plus Avios for €189 (1.1p)
• 20,000 Iberia Plus Avios for €249 (1.1p)
• 35,000 Iberia Plus Avios for €439 (1.1p)

These Avios will be deposited in an Iberia Plus account, from where you can use ‘Combine My Avios’ to move them to British Airways.  Remember that your Iberia Plus account must be 90 days old before you can transfer to British Airways Executive Club.

The offer is in Spanish so you need to use a browser which can translate.  The redemption process can be a bit fiddly, and if there are issues you will be chasing the Spanish Groupon contact centre, so you need to decide if the saving over the UK ‘buy Avios’ deal is worth the potential frustration.  The Groupon Spain page you need is here.
