BA Amex cardholders can now lock in discounted Avios rates to New York. Pre-registration is open for the carrier's anniversary party plane deal — worth checking if you've got the card and Avios balance.
The deal
British Airways is offering reduced Avios redemption rates on flights to NYC for American Express cardholders. This is tied to a special anniversary promotion, and you'll need to pre-register to access the pricing. Exact Avios costs and travel dates haven't been confirmed in this announcement, so you'll want to verify availability against standard redemption rates when you log in.
Why we like it
If you've accumulated Avios and hold the BA Amex card, any reduction on NYC fares is worth investigating — transatlantic Avios bookings usually don't come cheap. The pre-reg window suggests BA is managing demand carefully, which often means decent availability if you move quickly. That said, "heavily discounted" is relative; do your maths against paid fares and standard Avios rates before committing points.
How to book
Head to British Airways' site and look for the Amex cardholders pre-registration link for this promotion. You'll need your BA Executive Club and Amex card details to hand. Check the terms carefully — these limited-time Avios deals often come with blackout dates or specific departure windows.
