British Airways & Citibank 50% Avios Transfer Bonus till 30 Sept

For those of you who collect British Airways Avios miles (I know, right), you might be interested to know that until 30 Sept Citibank Premiermiles is having a 50% transfer bonus.

The catch is this- the bonus doesn’t reflect when you go on the Citibank Premiermiles Singapore portal.

However, my understanding is that this promotion is global, just that Singapore has chosen not to communicate the campaign.

Remember that British Airways is a member of OneWorld, so miles can be used to redeem on carriers such as Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, Malaysia Airlines etc.

Avios rewards aren’t great value without the extra bonus. Return sin to LHR will require 180,000 miles which with this bonus only requires one to transfer 120000 miles, 16000 miles less to fly SQ on same class (136,000 krisflyer miles after online discount). So if one wishes to same on miles, then the transfer to Avios may be attractive now instead of transferring to Krisflyer.

Thank you for sharing this Aaron. I have about a 100K Avios slowly devaluing, and this might just be a good way to round it up to a business return to London.

Before transferring I looked into it more and can only find this marketed in India.
Can anyone confirm it actually working elsewhere?

Hi Phil, I can assure you that until 30th September it is working in Singapore. It’s the same campaign as India but not being communicated.

Hmm i called the premier miles hotline to ask, and the CSO was unaware of such a promotion

Phil

I made the transfer on 20/9 and the miles with 50% bonus posted on 23/9!

My BA statement has two lines with the expected Avios count:
Finance Card – Singapore
50% August 2016 Bonus Avios

Thank you Aaron & Nitjay.

Does it work for Prestige or this promo is only for Premiermiles?

Phil
